President Donald J. Trump sent a clear, unmistakable warning to vandals targeting Tesla: “We are looking for you.” After weeks of escalating attacks on Tesla dealerships and charging stations nationwide, Trump promised long prison terms for those caught sabotaging Elon Musk’s electric vehicle empire — and he made it crystal clear that even those funding the destruction won’t escape justice.
“People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to twenty years,” Trump wrote Thursday night on Truth Social. “That includes the funders. WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!!”
The crackdown comes amid a coordinated string of violent attacks on Tesla property, which Attorney General Pam Bondi called “nothing short of domestic terrorism.” From Molotov cocktails to gunfire and graffiti, far-left agitators have made Tesla the new boogeyman of the anti-Trump fringe. The reason? Elon Musk, now head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been laser-focused on trimming bureaucratic fat — including thousands of federal job cuts. That’s triggered the rage of a bloated government class that’s used to feeding at the taxpayer trough.
Take Adam Lansky, a 41-year-old from Oregon who reportedly launched eight Molotov cocktails at a Salem Tesla dealership on Inauguration Day — then followed up by firing bullets into a Tesla vehicle the next month. Or Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, who allegedly spray-painted “F*** Trump” and “Long Live Ukraine” before tossing Molotovs at charging stations in South Carolina. Or Lucy Grace Nelson, 42, who allegedly tried to torch a Tesla Cybertruck in Colorado.
This isn’t protest. It’s leftist destruction — and Trump’s DOJ isn’t playing games.
“These aren’t just petty acts of vandalism,” said Bondi. “We’re talking about orchestrated, politically charged attacks meant to intimidate and destroy. The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended.”
Bondi made clear that even those behind the curtain — the organizers and financiers of these attacks — will be hunted down. “We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences… including those operating behind the scenes,” she said.
These attacks are no coincidence. Elon Musk is a threat to the bureaucratic status quo, cutting red tape, rooting out corruption, and streamlining bloated government. That makes him target #1 for the radical left — especially now that he’s in charge of a powerful federal agency.
But here’s the thing about law and order: It’s making a comeback.
Trump’s America is one where criminals face real consequences. It’s a country where you don’t get to burn cars, hurl explosives, or try to derail progress just because you lost an election. The DOJ under Trump isn’t letting this go — and neither is the American people.
