Musk Alleges a Plot Against His Life
Elon Musk has claimed that left-wing activists are plotting against him with the intent to disrupt Tesla and thwart his initiatives aimed at decreasing waste and corruption in the US federal government. Recent incidents involving violent attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships have included vandalism and arson.

The billionaire entrepreneur, who currently acts as an adviser to US President Donald Trump, has overseen substantial budget cuts and reductions within the federal workforce through the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Critics label Musk’s approach as advocating for draconian austerity, while his supporters argue these measures are essential for eliminating government inefficiency.

The opposition to Musk's policies has intensified in recent weeks, with increasing protests and assaults on Tesla properties. In one notable incident, a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas was attacked with Molotov cocktails, causing damage to at least five vehicles.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Musk described the attacks as “deranged” and speculated that they are part of a coordinated campaign against both him and Tesla.

“They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud, and they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping the terrible waste and corruption in the government,” Musk stated during the interview. He also expressed concerns regarding the sources behind the attacks, asking, “Who’s funding and who’s coordinating it? Because this is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Despite the threats, Musk maintains that the backlash serves as evidence that he and Trump's policies are effective, asserting that the level of opposition reflects a disruption of established interests.

Nationwide protests against Musk continue, with demonstrators targeting Tesla’s connections to the administration. Some activists have resorted to extreme measures, including actions aimed at Tesla customers. A recent online initiative, allegedly affiliated with the “DogeQuest” group, has created a doxing map revealing the addresses of Tesla owners and urging activists to vandalize their vehicles.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi has condemned the rising violence, labeling the attacks on Tesla and its associated entities as “nothing short of domestic terrorism.” She has promised to pursue legal action against those involved and cautioned that further acts of violence may result in federal charges.
