The New York Police Department Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after two men were caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck Thursday.

A spokesperson for the NYPD told Fox News Digital the two men carved the word “Nazis” and a swastika onto the doors of the Cybertruck at around 1 a.m. at 730 Monroe Street in Brooklyn.

They fled on foot after vandalizing the car and haven’t been arrested, according to the NYPD.

Video provided by the NYPD from the Cybertruck’s safety camera shows two men taking turns drawing on the Tesla vehicles.

“They are being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it,” Musk said. “It’s the people pushing the propaganda that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here.

“The real problem is not the people. It’s not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership.”

Musk said the problem goes beyond Tesla vehicles being vandalized.

“Tesla is a peaceful company that has made great cars, great products. That’s all it’s done. It hasn’t harmed anyone. And yet people are committing violence,” Musk said. 

In a post Monday on X, FBI Director Kash Patel said the violence against Tesla is domestic terrorism.

On Monday, the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives launched a task force focused on the attacks on Tesla.

“As always, Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino have been adamant about responsiveness to agents on the ground and providing them the resources they need to serve Americans,” FBI spokesman Ben Williamson told Fox News Digital at the time. “This task force is just the latest move in coordinating our efforts to ensure those who violently attack Tesla will be pursued and brought to justice.”
