Trump DOJ Caves to Elon Musk With Wild Punishment for Tesla Protester
Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking 20 years for a Colorado man who allegedly firebombed one of Elon Musk's Tesla dealerships—in a blatantly political stunt to chase down dissidents. Bondi announced Monday that federal prosecutors were seeking the decades-long sentence for 24-year-old Cooper Jo Frederick, who was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of throwing an incendiary device between two vehicles outside of a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, on March 7. 'All of these cases are a serious threat to public safety, therefore, there will be no negotiating,' Bondi said in a video statement posted to X, clearly intended to have a chilling effect on the nationwide spate of vandalism. Bondi claimed that justice was coming for those involved in the so-called 'wave of domestic terrorism' against Tesla, owned by the Trump administration's resident billionaire bureaucrat. This appears to be an extreme sentencing for a federal firebombing case. In April 2024, a Wisconsin man was sentenced to 90 months, or about seven and a half years, for attacking a building with a Molotov cocktail in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Another man was sentenced to nine years for firebombing a Planned Parenthood and plotting other attacks in grievance of a race war. Clearly, Bondi is waging a political battle as much as a legal one, despite her promises that she would not act merely as an operative for Donald Trump. Musk has continued to complain about how much money Tesla is losing while he serves as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which intends to slash government spending through mass layoffs and the gutting of essential services and agencies. DOGE is currently sifting through the Social Security Administration, creating widespread access issues for the millions of Americans who rely on it. Tesla shares were down more than 7 percent Monday and have plummeted 35 percent so far this year. Organizers held a Tesla Takedown Global Day of Action Saturday, and held rallies at over 200 Tesla locations, including close to 50 in California.

Idaho man hits pro-Tesla demonstrator with car after he exited his truck that had Trump flags: police
A 70-year-old Idaho man was arrested for allegedly striking a pro-Tesla demonstrator with his car just after the victim exited a truck adorned with "pro-Trump flags," police say. Christopher Talbot of Meridian is now facing an aggravated battery charge following the incident Saturday outside of Boise. "At the time of the incident, a protest was taking place at [a] Tesla dealership, with approximately 30 protesters and an estimated 200 counter-protesters in attendance. The victim was identified as a counter-protester at the event," the Meridian Police Department said in a statement. "The preliminary investigation determined that 70-year-old Christopher Talbot of Meridian made an obscene gesture toward a 49-year-old victim before hitting him with his car. Reports indicate the victim had been driving a truck with pro-Trump flags and had just parked and exited his vehicle when Talbot stuck him with his car," police added. Investigators said the victim managed to drive himself to a local hospital where he received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. Talbot reportedly was arrested after the victim provided police with his license plate, which led officers to Talbot's home in Meridian. "The Meridian Police Department reminds people to respect everyone's right to protest and express their 1st Amendment Rights without resorting to violence," it said. Demonstrators around the U.S. held protests at Tesla dealerships on Saturday in what was billed as a "Tesla Takedown Global Day of Action." From Oregon to Massachusetts, Tesla cars and facilities have been vandalized in at least 10 locations this year. What began as protests against Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have escalated into violent incidents against the Trump ally's company, including shots fired at a building, destroyed dealership windows and charging stations set on fire.

Protesters rebel against Elon Musk's US government purge during Tesla Takedown
ADVERTISEMENT Crowds of people protesting against Elon Musk's purge of the US government under President Donald Trump have begun amassing outside Tesla dealerships throughout the country in an attempt to dent the fortunes of the world's richest man. The protesters are trying to escalate a movement targeting Tesla dealerships and vehicles in opposition to Musk's role as the head of the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he's gained access to sensitive data and shuttered entire agencies as he attempts to slash government spending. Most of Musk's estimated $340 billion (€314 billion) fortune consists of the stock he holds in the electric vehicle company that he continues to run while also working alongside Trump.

By early afternoon, crowds ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of protesters had flocked to Tesla locations in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Minnesota and the automaker's home state of Texas. Pictures posted on social media accounts showed protesters brandishing signs such as "Honk if you hate Elon" and "Fight the billionaire broligarchy." The Tesla Takedown movement also hopes to rally protestors at more than 230 Tesla locations in other parts of the world. Although the turnout in European locations wasn't as large as the crowds in the US, the anti-Musk sentiment was similar.

One of the signs displayed at the London protest showed a photo of Musk next to an image of Adolf Hitler making the Nazi salute, a gesture Musk was accused of using shortly after Trump's inauguration in January. A person in a tyrannosaurus rex costume held another sign with a picture of Musk's straight-arm gesture that said, "You thought the Nazis were extinct. Don't buy a Swasticar." "We just want to get loud, make noise, make people aware of the problems that we're facing," said Cam Whitten, an American who attended the London protest. Tesla Takedown was organised by a group of supporters that included disillusioned owners of the automaker's vehicles, celebrities such as actor John Cusack, and at least one Democratic Party lawmaker, Jasmine Crockett from Dallas.

I just need you all to make sure you all keep screaming in the streets," Crockett said during a Tesla Takedown organising event earlier this month. Some people opposed to Musk have gone beyond protests and set the automaker's vehicles on fire and committed other acts of vandalism that US Attorney General Pam Bondi has decried as domestic terrorism. ADVERTISEMENT Musk indicated he was dumbfounded by the attacks during a company meeting earlier in March, saying the vandals should "stop acting psycho." Crockett and other Tesla Takedown supporters have been stressing the importance for Saturday's protests to remain peaceful. But police were investigating a fire that destroyed seven Tesla vehicles in northwestern Germany early on Saturday morning.

ADVERTISEMENT A growing number of consumers who bought Tesla vehicles before Musk was appointed to lead DOGE have been looking to sell or trade in their cars while others have slapped on bumper stickers seeking to distance themselves from the billionaire's efforts to prune or shut down government agencies. But Musk didn't appear concerned about an extended slump in sales of new Tesla cars in his 20 March address to employees. He reassured the workers that the company's Model Y, which is undergoing a refresh, would remain "the best-selling car on Earth again this year." He also predicted Tesla will have sold more than 10 million cars worldwide by next year, up from about seven million cars now. ADVERTISEMENT "There are times when there are rocky moments, where there is stormy weather, but what I am here to tell you is that the future is incredibly bright and exciting," Musk said. After Trump was elected last November, investors initially saw Musk's alliance with the president as a positive development for Tesla and its long-running efforts to launch a network of self-driving cars. That optimism helped lift Tesla's stock by 70% in the period between Trump's 5 November election and his 20 January inauguration, creating an additional $560 billion (€517 billion) in shareholder wealth. But virtually all those gains have evaporated amid investor worries about the Tesla backlash, lagging sales in the US, Europe and China, and Musk spending time overseeing DOGE. ADVERTISEMENT
