A former high-level FBI special agent said he expects political violence in the United States to continue escalating amid the nationwide destruction of Tesla vehicles and dealerships aimed at intimidating Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk.
Michael Tabman is the former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, and he said there is no doubt that recent violent attacks faced by Tesla owners and dealerships are clear cases of domestic terrorism.
“I do fear that more violence is on its way,” Tabman told Fox News Digital. “Maybe not directly Teslas or DOGE, but just general political violence. I think it’s already here. But I think there’s more around the corner.”
Tesla vehicles are not the only target of anti-Musk rage.
On March 7, a man now identified as Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, allegedly set fire to three Tesla vehicle charging stations in North Charleston, South Carolina.
According to a statement from the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina, Clarke was witnessed using Molotov cocktails during the incident and is accused of spray-painting “F— Trump, long live Ukraine,” near the scene.
He was arrested by the ATF in conjunction with the North Charleston Police Department and charged with arson. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted.
