WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk claims to have identified the masterminds behind the relentless attacks on Tesla facilities, charging stations, and vehicles and he’s promising swift justice.

“We're coming for them,” Musk declared during an explosive appearance on 'The Five' Tuesday night, making it clear that those pulling the strings won't evade accountability for long, reported Irish Star.



 

Elon Musk and Trump administration target 'generals' behind Tesla attacks

In recent weeks, Tesla dealerships and infrastructure have become the target of increasingly violent acts. From arson attacks in South Carolina and Las Vegas to a shocking assault on a 61-year-old Tesla driver in Arizona, the pattern of destruction has raised alarm bells at the highest levels of government.

Describing the situation as a clear act of terrorism, the tech mogul and close adviser to President Donald Trump condemned it, “This is fundamentally a case of terrorism. It’s widespread domestic terrorism with the purpose of intimidation, and it’s harming innocent people. It’s really terrible.”

He said, “Tesla’s done nothing wrong as a company.”

The tweet was found to be false and cost shareholders billions of dollars when Tesla's stock price began to fluctuate wildly allegedly based on the tweet.

“I think what we actually have to get to are the people organizing and paying for these attacks and protests. That’s who we really need to go after. The people who are actually throwing the Molotov cocktails they’re the foot soldiers, but we need to go after the generals, and we’re going to do so,” Musk warned.

In the fiery interview on 'The Five', Musk claimed that he and Attorney General Pam Bondi have identified key figures whom he referred to as “generals” orchestrating the recent wave of Tesla-related violence. 

Panelist Kennedy Montgomery pressed Musk, asking, “Do you know who those 'generals' are?” 

Without hesitation, Musk responded bluntly, “We do. We're coming for them.” Musk added, “These are serious crimes where the organizers and pushers of mass violence will go to prison for a very long time. I hope they see this segment.”

AG Bondi and President Trump have confirmed that the Department of Justice is treating these attacks as serious criminal enterprises, hinting at RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) charges against those coordinating these crimes, an indication that the government sees these incidents as more than isolated acts of vandalism.

Meanwhile, conservative activist Asra Nomani has compiled a list of 24 Democrat-aligned organizations allegedly fueling the anti-Tesla movement.

These groups, with a combined budget of $124 million, have been linked to a campaign dubbed #TeslaTakedown. While Musk did not directly confirm if these organizations are the “generals” he’s referring to, he hinted that the public will soon learn the truth.
