Tesla properties—Cybertrucks torched, showrooms hit with bullets and Molotov cocktails—are under siege across the U.S. and abroad, with no injuries reported but a clear escalation since President Donald Trump took office.

Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, now leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), slashing federal spending, making Tesla a lightning rod for anti-Trump and anti-Musk fury.

From Portland to Seattle, left-leaning hubs have seen prominent attacks. In Salem, Oregon, a man allegedly firebombed a Tesla store and later shot out its windows. Tigard saw a dealership riddled with bullets twice in a week. Seattle reported four Cybertrucks burned and a Model S set ablaze on a street. In Las Vegas, vandals torched vehicles outside a service center, scrawling “resist” on its doors. Colorado charged a woman for Molotov attacks with “Nazi cars” graffiti, while South Carolina arrested a man for burning charging stations, citing anti-DOGE writings.

Once a progressive icon, Tesla’s image shifted as Musk embraced the right, buying X and bankrolling Trump’s 2024 campaign with $250 million. Trump’s White House Tesla showcase and vow to buy a Model S signal support, yet stock gains have evaporated. Musk, on X, called the violence “insane,” alleging funding by “leftwing billionaires.” Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a funding probe, branding attacks “domestic terror.”

These incidents spark wide concern amongst shareholders of Tesla, who have lived through numerous rollercoasters in one of Corporate America's greatest equity success stories ever.
