Trump labels violence against Tesla as domestic terrorism
President Donald Trump condemned violence against Tesla dealerships, labeling it domestic terrorism. He warned that offenders would face severe consequences, showing support for Tesla CEO Elon Musk during a White House event. Tesla's stock rose nearly 4% following Trump's remarks, recovering from a significant drop. This comes amid protests against Musk's federal job cuts and humanitarian program cancellations. Protests have occurred at Tesla locations, including a recent demonstration in Portland, Oregon, where 350 people gathered. Reports of vandalism at Tesla showrooms are under investigation, while protest organizers claim to support peaceful actions.
