Musk makes allegations regarding conspiracy to murder him


(MENAFN) Elon Musk has accused left-wing activists of orchestrating attacks against him and Tesla, claiming they are trying to halt his efforts to reduce government waste and corruption. The allegations follow a series of violent incidents, including vandalism and arson, targeting Tesla vehicles and dealerships.

Musk, who serves as an adviser to President Donald Trump and has overseen significant cuts to the federal budget and workforce through the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has faced increasing backlash. Critics accuse him of pushing harsh austerity measures, while supporters argue the cuts are needed to address government inefficiency.

The attacks on Tesla-related property have intensified, with one incident involving Molotov cocktails thrown at a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas, damaging at least five vehicles. Musk spoke to Fox News on Monday, condemning the violence as "deranged" and suggesting that it is part of a coordinated effort against him and Tesla. He argued that the attacks are motivated by a desire to protect "fraud" and continue wasteful practices in the government.

Despite the threats, Musk believes the backlash is evidence that his policies, along with Trump’s, are successfully challenging entrenched interests. Anti-Musk protests have continued nationwide, with some activists even targeting Tesla customers. An online campaign linked to the “DogeQuest” group has doxxed Tesla owners, revealing their addresses and calling for vandalism of their vehicles.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the violence, calling it “domestic terrorism,” and vowed to prosecute those responsible, warning that future attacks could result in federal charges.
