Elon Musk Faces Ongoing Threats: Bombs Found in Texas
On March 24, 2025, multiple incendiary devices were discovered at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, following an anonymous tip to the police. The Austin Police Department’s bomb squad responded promptly, safely removing the devices without incident. No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
This event is part of a series of recent attacks targeting Tesla facilities and vehicles, coinciding with Elon Musk’s appointment as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration. Musk’s role has involved significant federal budget cuts and workforce reductions, leading to public backlash.
The FBI has reported similar incidents in at least nine states, including arson, vandalism, and attempted bombings at Tesla properties. These acts are being treated as domestic terrorism, and the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
In response to these threats and attacks, President Trump has condemned the perpetrators as domestic terrorists and has pledged severe consequences for those involved. Attorney General Pam Bondi has also emphasized the seriousness of these actions, warning against further escalation.
Elon Musk has acknowledged the challenges faced by his team, revealing that members of the DOGE staff have been receiving daily death threats. He emphasized the dedication of his team despite these dangers.
