As Elon Musk takes on a larger role in American politics and government, his electric car company Tesla has been targeted in a series of vandalism attacks. The incidents include a woman throwing molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Colorado, fires set at charging stations in Boston, and shots fired at a dealership in Oregon. These actions have been linked to backlash against Musk, with accusations of supporting antisemitic claims and insulting victims of Nazism. The attacks come as Tesla faces declining sales and Musk’s personal fortune has taken a hit. Musk’s appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency has raised concerns about conflicts of interest, as he directs multiple companies in addition to Tesla. The cultural blowback against Musk’s political foray may ultimately lead to his resignation from the government agency. Despite the attacks and challenges Musk faces, his work with Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies continues, with ongoing disruptions at Tesla facilities indicating ongoing tension and backlash. The incidents highlight the complex interplay between business, politics, and culture that Musk navigates as he seeks to make an impact in various spheres of influence.
