President Donald Trump threatened jail time with severe warnings against CEO Elon Musk against Tesla's harassment of electric vehicles.
“People who are blocking Teslas are very likely to go to prison for up to 20 years, including funders,” Trump wrote in The Society of Truth late Thursday night.
“We're looking for you!!!” the 47th President added.
Trump's ominous threat comes hours after Attorney General Pam Bondy filed charges against three destroyers who destroyed “domestic terrorist attacks” Tesla cars and charging stations in Colorado, Oregon and South Carolina.
Suspects – Adam Matthew Lansky of Oregon, 41, Lucy Grace Nelson of Colorado, 40, Daniel Clark Pound of South Carolina – will be up to 20 years behind the bar for their actions.
Lansky is accused of illegally possessing an unregistered firearm when he appeared at a Tesla dealer in Salem, Oregon.
He went back and fired the window and fired a bullet in the car. Fox 12 reported.
Nelson is said to have spray-painted several vehicles with the phrase “Nazi car” before throwing Molotov cocktails into cars at many Loveland dealers in Colorado.
She was arrested in February but was released on a $100,000 bond.
Clark Pound is said to have destroyed Teslas at a charging station in Charleston, South Carolina, writing anti-Trump rhetoric throughout the vehicle, setting fire to it.
If convicted, each faces a minimum of five years in prison, but the charges pose a maximum 20-year penalty.
Bondi called the action “domestic terrorism,” but the three cases were not that eligible.
In Las Vegas, footage obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal shows that firefighting on several Teslas after the lithium battery exploded, turning into a huge fireball after the lithium battery exploded.
The arson allegedly scrawled “resistance” in giant red letters across the Enterprise's Tesla Clash Center, just a few miles from the Vegas strip.
Musk says he was shocked by the rise in attacks targeting Tesla, calling for “hate and violence” from the left.
“It really shocking to me that there was this level of hatred and violence from the left,” Musk told Sean Hannity, host of Fox News.
“I've always been thought of as the left, the Democrats, the compassionate party, but they're burning cars, they're dealers of bombs, they're firing bullets at dealers, they're just destroying Tesla.”
The 53-year-old defended his actions as “productive” before calling the Tesla attacker “crazy.”
Trump's late-night warning reflects similar sentiments he shared after purchasing a red Tesla on display outside the White House on March 11th.
“I'm going to stop them,” he said. “We're going to catch them, they're the bad guys.”
