FBI launches task force to crack down on violent Tesla attacks, mitigate threats

The FBI on Monday launched a task force to crack down on violent Tesla attacks, Fox News Digital has learned. 

The FBI’s task force was created in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and will coordinate investigative activity.

Fox News Digital has learned that there have been various instances in recent weeks of vandalism, arson and targeted shootings against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations across the nation. 

The task force comes as a wave of Tesla car owners, dealerships, and charging stations have been targeted nationwide amid Elon Musk's involvement with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is focused on slashing wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government. Musk is the co-founder and CEO of Tesla.
