The FBI has launched a task force to investigate recent attacks targeting Tesla, the company co-founded by DOGE Chief Elon Musk. The task force, working in collaboration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), was formed after a bomb squad discovered incendiary devices at a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, where the company's headquarters is located.
The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response.
