The website reportedly called “Dogequest” releases the personal information of Tesla owners nationwide with an obvious bid to shame and threaten Elon Musk as his relationship with the Trump White House has grown.
The site, called “Dogequest,” uses interactive maps to reveal the names, addresses and phone numbers of Tesla owners across the United States, and uses images of Molotov cocktails as cursors.
The operator of the site that also posted the exact location of the Tesla dealer said it would remove identification information about Tesla drivers only if it provided evidence that it had sold an electric vehicle. According to 404 media.
News on the Doxing site follow a line of reported vandalism incidents aimed at Tesla drivers and dealers, as CEO Elon Musk takes on the famous role of heading the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
According to 404 Media Report, the website also hosts personal information that is said to be part of Doge employees, but the information has not been verified of credibility.
It is unclear where the suspicious Tesla owner data was sourced.
One section of the site is dedicated to the question, “Is Dogequest a protest platform?”
“If Tesla is hunting to unleash your artistic talent with a spray can, you just go outside. No maps are needed! At DogeQuest, we believe in empowering the creative expression of protest that you can carry out from the comfort of your own home.”
According to 404 media, the site says it will delete data from Tesla owners if it shows evidence that the car has sold the car.
Under the heading “I want to delete my information,” the site says, “Absolutely! Please provide proof that you sold Tesla.”
