The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, considered Tuesday that the wave of property attacks on the manufacturer of Tesla electric vehicles are nothing other than “national terrorism.”
The Department of Justice said that persons have already been accused under that consideration in cases involving minimum mandatory sentences of five years in prison.
“We will continue the investigations that impose severe consequences to those involved in these attacks, including those operating between racks to coordinate and finance these crimes,” said Bondi.
The vehicles, concessionaires and properties of Tesla have been in the spotlight since its CEO, Elon Musk, was at the forefront of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), responsible for cutting expenses and bureaucracy in the federal government.
The attacks have been recorded in different parts of the country, such as the States of Massachusetts, Washington or South Carolina.
The two most recent took place this Tuesday in Tesla dealers in Las Vegas (Nevada) and Kansas City (Missuri), where several vehicles were set on fire.
According to The Washington Times, the FBI in Las Vegas is investigating what happened as a possible act of terrorism.

And the president of the Council, Robyn Denholm, detached from 75 million dollars of shares of the manufacturer although in her case the sale was part of a predetermined plan.
The fall of the value of Tesla’s actions has coincided with the intense involvement of Musk in the United States government. President Donald Trump placed Musk in charge of the Doge, in charge of mass public spending cuts.
Since the beginning of the year, Musk has also multiplied his statements in support of extreme right parties in Europe and other parts of the world, which is causing protests in Tesla establishments as well as boycott of their products.
