The U.S. FBI establishes a special task force for Tesla threats

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced on Monday that it has established a special task force with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to investigate attacks against Tesla. Just hours before this announcement, a bomb disposal team found multiple incendiary devices in a showroom in Austin, Texas where Tesla's headquarters are located. Tesla (TSLA.O) has been subjected to a series of attacks and destruction due to its CEO Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration. "Violent activities against Tesla have increased, and the FBI has been investigating this matter. In recent days we have taken additional measures to combat and coordinate responses," said FBI Director Kash Patel on social media platforms. "This is domestic terrorism," Patel wrote. "Those responsible will be pursued, apprehended and brought to justice."
