Tesla’s stock has fallen over 35% since Trump’s inauguration, prompting investor concern due to declining sales and Musk’s political focus. This has led to numerous violent incidents at Tesla locations, including arson and vandalism. Elon Musk’s Tesla facilities have been the target of violent attacks following the billionaire’s role in Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to drastically cut federal spending. Protesters have also been angered by a Nazi salute-like sign Musk made on the same day Trump took office. According to a report in the Washington Post, there have been more than a dozen violent or destructive attacks on Tesla facilities since Trump’s inauguration. In one incident, a woman named Lucy Grace Nelson made several attempts to cause serious harm at the Tesla car lot in Loveland, Colorado. Over the course of 13 days starting on 29 January, Nelson threw a Molotov cocktail at a Cybertruck at the dealership, spray-painted the words “Nazi cars” and “F— Musk”, and returned four more times before being arrested by local police.
