Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement earlier this week regarding a swath of politically motivated attacks on Tesla properties that were apparently aimed at CEO Elon Musk and his work in conjunction with President Donald Trump’s administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.
Bondi said that the perpetrators of such violent acts would be found and held accountable — and she alluded to the fact that the Justice Department was also pursuing those who were potentially pulling strings behind the scenes, saying that everyone involved was participating in what amounted to “domestic terrorism”:
The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences. We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.
During a recent appearance with Fox News host Will Cain, Bondi spoke about the development, explaining that the designation allowed for Justice Department officials and the FBI to follow more investigative avenues in their search for the people involved.

Cain asked whether designating the attacks as “domestic terrorism” would allow the FBI to follow the funding, and Bondi said that was a part of the ongoing process.
“These attacks are taking throughout our country,” Bondi said. “We have charged multiple people. Get ready, more are coming. One we charged in Oregon is facing five to twenty years in prison. We filed in Colorado, we filed in South Carolina. There are more coming, and yes, the funding is one thing we are looking at among many others.”
“I was personally in a meeting about it this morning,” she added. “We are coming after you. We believe these are organized, these are not individuals out there throughout the country doing this on their own, they’re targeting Tesla owners, they’re targeting Tesla dealerships, they’re targeting Elon Musk, who is out there trying to save our country, and it will not be tolerated.”
“We are coming after you, we will find you, and if you are an organized group who is funding this, we’re going to find you too,” Bondi concluded.
