Democrat party doubles down on support for groups labeled as 'domestic terrorists' by the Trump 47 admin

As of March 28, 2025, The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), led by Attorney General Pamela Bondi, has been actively pursuing cases related to attacks on Tesla properties, labeling them as "domestic terrorism." Here’s a summary of the latest updates based on available information:

The DOJ has charged several individuals linked to violent acts against Tesla facilities, such as arson and vandalism, with crimes carrying penalties of five to twenty years in prison. For instance, on March 20, 2025, three people were charged in connection with arson incidents at Tesla dealerships and charging stations in Colorado, South Carolina, and Oregon. These individuals allegedly used Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla vehicles and properties. Bondi has emphasized that the DOJ is not only targeting the perpetrators but also investigating those "operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has escalated its efforts by launching a dedicated task force on March 24, 2025, to investigate the wave of attacks on Tesla properties. FBI Director Kash Patel has called these incidents "domestic terrorism," and the task force is coordinating with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Despite claims of coordination, the FBI and ATF have stated they’ve found no evidence that these incidents are systematically organized, suggesting many may be the work of lone offenders. For example, in the Las Vegas case on March 18, where five Tesla vehicles were shot and set ablaze, suspect Paul Kim was arrested and is believed to have acted alone.

Speculation about funding sources has been prominent, particularly from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has claimed that billionaires like George Soros and Reid Hoffman, along with Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, are behind the protests. Musk pointed to groups like the Indivisible Project, Troublemakers, and the Democratic Socialists of America as being "ActBlue-funded" and responsible. Hoffman has denied these allegations, calling them "wildly false." Posts on X have echoed Musk’s claims, with some suggesting Soros-funded entities like the Hopewell Fund or Indivisible are involved.

Attorney General Bondi has indicated that the DOJ is investigating potential funding networks, with a focus on radical groups possibly coordinating the violence. Sources cited in posts on X claim Bondi has ordered the DOJ’s Criminal Division to probe groups like Indivisible, though official DOJ statements have not named specific organizations beyond the charged individuals. The investigation into funding remains a priority, with Bondi warning that "severe consequences" await those found to be financially supporting these attacks.

On the ground, violent incidents continue to be reported. For example, on March 24, multiple incendiary devices were discovered at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, and earlier incidents in March included gunfire and arson at dealerships in Oregon, Nevada, and elsewhere. Meanwhile, peaceful "Tesla Takedown" protests, organized by groups opposing Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have occurred nationwide, though these are distinct from the violent acts under investigation.
