in World News Caught on Camera: Anti-Tesla Activist Confirms What We All Thought
Violence and vandalism against Tesla facilities have been on the rise in recent months as left-wing activists protest CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.
Since January, Tesla dealerships and charging stations across the country have been targeted, with incidents ranging from graffiti and vandalism to arson and gunfire.
The attacks come as Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), faces increasing hostility from leftist activists.
Protesters have accused him of aligning with President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut government waste. Some activists have even admitted to being financially incentivized to participate in demonstrations.
“I get paid to be out here,” one protester holding an anti-Musk sign admitted. “Definitely. 100 percent.”
The string of attacks against Tesla has been reported in multiple states, with several high-profile incidents documented by law enforcement.
Police in northern Colorado arrested 42-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson for allegedly causing between $5,000 and $20,000 in damage to a Tesla dealership beginning on January 29.
Nelson reportedly spray-painted the word “Nazi” under the dealership’s entrance sign and later returned multiple times in February.
Authorities also accused her of throwing Molotov cocktails—homemade firebombs—onto the lot. She was charged with malicious destruction of property and remains in custody.
March 3: Maryland Graffiti Incident
In Rockville, Maryland, anti-Musk graffiti was discovered at a Tesla dealership one day after demonstrators gathered to protest Musk’s role in the Trump administration. The spray-painted message read “No Musk” and included a symbol resembling a swastika.
