Federal and local law enforcement agencies are investigating a string of attempted arsons at Tesla dealerships nationwide as possible acts of domestic terrorism. The investigation was launched after several incidents involving suspected arson were reported in multiple states. Preliminary evidence suggests a coordinated effort to damage or destroy Tesla vehicles and property.
Adding complexity to the investigation, an anti-capitalist group based in Philadelphia has publicly expressed support for the individuals allegedly responsible for the attempted arsons. The group's online statements have been interpreted by some as an endorsement of violence against corporations, specifically Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk.
The connection, if any, between the Philadelphia group and the alleged arsonists remains under investigation. Law enforcement officials are examining the group's online activities and communications to determine the extent of their involvement.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about these incidents to come forward. The FBI and local police departments are working together to gather evidence and identify the individuals responsible for these acts. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
