This insane act of violence follows similar attacks on Teslas around the country, aimed at Elon Musk and DOGE.
Elon Musk responded to several posts on X regarding the crazy attack:
This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong.
Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks. https://t.co/Fh1rcfsJPh

MTG also responded, calling it an “act of political terrorism.”
This is an act of political terrorism.
It’s meant to hurt Elon Musk’s company, Tesla, and strike fear in any Tesla owner or potential buyer.
Hunt down those responsible and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Actress Gina Carano issued a lengthy statement in support of Elon Musk:
This is heartbreaking. Elon Musk has done nothing but to help human kind the best way he knows how. Whatever your feelings are about him this is inexcusable and EVERY decent media outlet should be condemning these acts of terror.

Her full response:
This is heartbreaking. Elon Musk has done nothing but to help human kind the best way he knows how. Whatever your feelings are about him this is inexcusable and EVERY decent media outlet should be condemning these acts of terror.
Terrorism is an act of war. Do you think these terrorists will not turn on you should you decide to stand up against them? They hate America and Americans and they will try and destroy anyone who gets in their way.
Think about this definition. Grok definition for Terrorism: Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, typically against civilians, to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It’s characterized by its intent to create fear, disrupt societies, and pressure governments or populations into meeting the perpetrators’ demands. The term can vary slightly depending on legal or cultural contexts, but it generally involves deliberate attacks on non-combatants to maximize psychological impact.
Examples include bombings, shootings, or hijackings carried out by groups or individuals with a specific agenda. What makes it distinct from other violence is its purposeful targeting and symbolic nature—aiming to send a message beyond the immediate victims.
This is exactly what is happening. Period. Time to cut off the head off the terrorist snake.

NBC News reported:
A suspect armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a “targeted attack” against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray painting “resist,” firing three shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.
Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.
“This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, ” LVMPD Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren told reporters. “We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public.”
The suspect wore all black, and “used what appeared to be a Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack,” Korean said.
“At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged to include two of which were engulfed in flames,” Koren continued.
Las Vegas Review-Journal added:
A suspect who police said set multiple Teslas on fire, used Molotov cocktails and shot three rounds into the vehicles at a Tesla Collision Center early Tuesday morning is still on the loose, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The suspect, who police said was wearing all black, is accused of damaging at least five Teslas — two of which were engulfed in flames — at 2:45 a.m. The word “resist” was also painted on the door of the facility, police said. At least three gunshots were fired into the cars, police said.
The collision center is located in the 6000 block of West Badura Avenue.
“This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility,” Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said at a press briefing on Tuesday.
ADVERTISEMENThe incident is also being investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. Agents have been on the scene since early Tuesday morning, according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans.
Evans said that while it was too early to call the incident an act of terrorism, it had “some of the hallmarks” and a “potential political agenda.”
“Violent acts like this are unacceptable, regardless of where they occur,” Evans said at Tuesday’s press briefing.
He urged anyone intending to commit similar acts to “seriously reconsider.”
“It’s a federal crime,” Evans said. “We will come after you. We will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
