Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Department of Justice is charging three people for allegedly destroying Tesla cars or properties.
The charges come as Tesla has faced widespread protests and criticism in the last few weeks, tied to its CEO, Elon Musk, and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s moves to remake the federal government.
“Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars,” Bondi said in a press release Thursday.
Widespread protests outside Tesla showrooms have broken out across the country to decry the moves by DOGE to ax agencies and institute mass layoffs.
