Subject: New FBI task force
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/...The FBI has created a task force dedicated to investigating Tesla attacks, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on X on Monday.

Why it matters: It's the latest step by the Trump administration to use the full weight of the government to both promote and defend Elon Musk's car company.
What they're saying: "This is domestic terrorism," Patel said. "Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice."

The task force will operate in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
State of play: The announcement came hours after multiple "incendiary" devices were found at a Tesla dealer in Austin, Texas, CNBC reported.

Three people were also charged last week on suspicion of violently destroying Tesla properties.
Trump has floated sending anti-Tesla protesters to a notorious prison in El Salvador if convicted.

It looks to me like the real anti-Tesla terrorists may be the consumers.

According to an article by Futurism, Tesla is experiencing a major decline in global sales, and especially in Europe. Compared to last January, Tesla's 18,161 sales in Europe represented a nearly 50% decrease.

This sharp decline coincides with the broader surge of nearly 34% in overall European EV sales, showing customers are turning away from Tesla despite still being interested in electric vehicles. Tesla's stock has also taken a hit, falling nearly 50% from a December 2024 high of $488.54 to under $240 in early March, and its market cap has dropped below $1 trillion for the first time since last November.

Many analysts have made a connection between Tesla CEO Elon Musk's position in Donald Trump's administration and Tesla's recent struggles.

"What's really telling is that Tesla's poor showing comes during what is otherwise a promising period for electric cars," said Futurism's Frank Landymore. "New EVs have grown by 34 percent in January to 124,341 units, despite overall new vehicle registrations declining by 3 percent."
