Targeted Tesla attacks continue amid outrage at Elon Musk

() Some of Elon Musk’s detractors have made their feelings known in recent weeks, with the latest critic using a gun to show their displeasure with the Tesla CEO.

Some Tesla showrooms, dealerships and charging stations have been set on fire or vandalized in other ways, ostensibly in protest of Musk’s role with the Trump administration.

The latest violence occurred in Tigard, Oregon, just outside Portland, where police are investigating vandalism involving gunfire.

On Wednesday, at least seven bullets tore into the dealership in an overnight attack, damaging three cars and shattering windows. No one was injured, and so far, there have been no arrests.

In another incident, police have a 41-year-old man in custody in Oregon after he allegedly targeted a dealership in Salem, causing major damage with Molotov cocktails in January and then opening fire with an AR 15-style rifle last month.

Oregon has been a hotbed for protests against Musk and Tesla and a growing grassroots movement called “Tesla Takedown,” which encourages people to “stop Musk now” by selling their Teslas, among other actions.

Despite his opposition to Musk, one protestor told that he disagrees with any violent protests.

“We who served in the military said to give you that right (to protest), but not to up and destroy and shoot and burn and wherever no go,” he said.

“Protest, stand up, scream and holler, get your bull horn out, go do your thing. But no violence.”

Protests across the country have been largely peaceful, but there have been multiple arrests for vandalism and disorderly conduct.

The anti-Elon movement also has some people getting rid of their Teslas, including singer Sheryl Crow, who posted a video to social media last month announcing that proceeds from the sale of her car are going to NPR.
