Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wants answers about recent attacks on Tesla properties across the country, claiming Elon Musk faces organized violence because of his role in President Trump’s government efficiency efforts.
🔍 What We Know: Greene and fellow Republicans on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel requesting information about attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations and vehicles nationwide. The letter urges federal authorities to investigate these incidents as potentially coordinated attacks.
Greene claims these attacks target Musk because of his leadership role in Trump’s DOGE initiative, which aims to reduce government spending and programs.
❓ What We Don’t Know: Despite, Greene’s claims, Federal authorities have not confirmed any organized campaign against Tesla or Musk.
🔥 By The Numbers: Reports mention Tesla charging stations set on fire in Boston, gunshots fired at a Portland dealership, and Cybertrucks burned in Seattle. The actual number of confirmed incidents remains unclear.
🌍 In Context: Musk, who owns Tesla, SpaceX, and X, became co-chair of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency after supporting Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The DOGE initiative aims to cut federal spending by identifying waste and inefficiency.
Greene’s letter specifically names several progressive organizations she claims might be connected to the attacks, including Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America.
⏭️ What’s Next: The Department of Justice and FBI will likely respond to the congressional inquiry. Law enforcement continues investigating individual incidents at Tesla locations across the country.
