This could be the latest in a string of fires intentionally targeting the electric vehicle company owned by the billionaire Trump adviser. More than a half-dozen Tesla charging stations were torched near Boston on Monday, police said, in what appears to be the latest attack on the company owned by Elon Musk, the billionaire adviser to President Donald Trump. Police officers and firefighters rushed to The Point Shopping Center, at 830 Constitution Ave. in Littleton, Massachusetts, at about 1:10 a.m. and found Tesla charging stations “engulfed in flames and heavy, dark smoke,” according to a police statement. The first responders had Littleton Electric Light & Water Department shut down power as a “total of seven charging stations sustained heavy fire-related damage,” police said. (…) And a Tesla Cybertruck was vandalized in the San Francisco suburb of Redwood City in late January. Company founder Musk has become the public face of the Trump administration’s efforts to drastically slash federal programs and shift U.S. foreign policy. Musk and Tesla have been targeted in Europe, too. A suspected arson attack led to power being cut and production halted at Tesla’s plant in Grünheide, just southeast of Berlin, on Tuesday, authorities said.
