FBI warns of violence targeting Tesla properties nationwide

The FBI has issued a warning about increasing violence against Tesla properties amid ongoing protests. They are encouraging people to report any online threats or suspicious activities related to Tesla. Protests against Elon Musk have continued for five weeks, driven by anger over job cuts and government service reductions. The violence has escalated, with incidents like Molotov cocktails targeting Tesla cars and charging stations. Three people are now facing federal charges due to these events, and authorities have warned that those arrested could face severe penalties, including up to 20 years in prison. Despite the unrest, President Donald Trump remains supportive of Musk and has encouraged people to buy Tesla vehicles. Musk is also considering legal action against former Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who has made harsh comments about him. Tesla's stock has dropped over 40%, and trade-ins of its vehicles have surged. In response, Musk is focusing on future innovations, such as robotaxis and self-driving cars. During a protest call, Rep. Jasmine Crockett voiced her desires for change concerning Musk, stating she hopes to see him "taken down" on her birthday. U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi criticized Crockett's comments and claimed that Musk would be protected. Crockett responded, insisting she does not promote violence. She highlighted the need for accountability regarding those involved in the January 6 Capitol riots.
