White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt says Democrats were “a massive supporter of Tesla” before Democrats voted for Donald Trump.
The White House denounced “heinous violence” targeting Tesla car owners, dealers and charging stations across the United States, adding that he would like to see Democrats denounce the conduct on Wednesday.
White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt made his remarks after being asked by Jackie Heinrich, a senior White House correspondent at Fox News, to comment on a website that allegedly attempts to become a DOX owner of Tesla vehicles.
“I've never seen that website, but we certainly think it's mean— violence against Tesla, the company, its employees, and the Americans who chose to drive electric cars. Many of them are Democrats,” Leavitt said.
“The Democrats were a massive supporter of Tesla and electric vehicles until Elon Musk decided to vote for Donald Trump. So we want to come out and condemn this heinous violence that we saw, and we're going to blame this heinous violence that we saw,” she added. “And I believe the Attorney General said she was investigating these cases as domestic terrorist acts.”

A website called “Dogequest” posted what it claims to be personal information from Tesla owners across the United States. This is a clear act of threats sparked by protests against Musk and his relationship with President Trump.
The website claims to “enhance the creative expression of the protest” by publishing the name, address, phone number and email address of the Tesla owner, reported 404 Media, a technology-focused research website.

The Dogequest site says it will remove the identification of Tesla owners if it provides evidence of the sale of an electric vehicle, according to the report.

No information posted on the website has been confirmed. Fox News Digital was unable to access the website after 404 Media posted a report Tuesday.
Tesla car owners, dealers and charging stations are being targeted nationwide by protesters and destroyers for Elon Musk's involvement with the Trump administration and the Kudji, with the aim of reducing wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government.
Earlier this week, an Oregon Tesla dealer located 10 miles south of Portland attacked an Oregon Tesla dealer who damaged multiple vehicles and targeted windows that shattered the windows, according to the Associated Press.
