President Trump hinted that he would be open to labeling people who are violent as “domestic terrorists” in Tesla dealership following a violent demonstration in the showroom of the US electric vehicle company.
Trump was asked at the White House on Tuesday if he could talk about some of the violence in Tesla dealership, noted with a journalist that some people feel that responsible people should label domestic terrorists.
“I’ll do it, I will. I’m going to stop them, “said Trump.
“When we catch them, those people are going to go through a big problem. We have found a lot of cameras, we already know who some of them are. We are going to catch them. And they are bad people. They are the same people who are around our schools and universities, with the same waste, “Trump added. “And, no, we will go to catch them. And let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it in any company, we’re going to catch you and you will go through hell. “
The President argued that he would do the same for other American companies and corporations.
“If we hold someone doing that, because they hurt a great American company. I’m stuck for NFL, I’m stuck for many American companies and other companies, but American companies, “he said.
“The ongoing and disgusting acts of violence against Tesla by radical left workers are no less than domestic terror. Trump spokesman Harrison Fields told The Hill that President Trump has been clear, there will be no attacks in the United States, President Trump’s US attacks or any other attacks to intimidate or force our government.
The President took extensive questions from reporters on Tuesday with Tesla CEO Alon Musk, a senior adviser to Trump, when he examined the Tesla car brought to the White House.
Musk is under increasing scrutiny by Trump for his efforts to carry out Trump’s promised cuts to the Federal Workforce by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Its mass splitting, reduction in costs and increased access to sensitive data have been broadly pushback.
In turn, Musk’s electric vehicle company has become a target.
Over the past few weeks, opponents have targeted the Tesla showroom wire, while some EVZs have been vandalized on the street. Some Tesla owners have placed bumper stickers like “I bought it before going to Alon Almond.”

Tesla’s stock has also had a big impact, which was down more than 50 percent since December. On Monday, the stock fell more than 15 percent, marking its biggest plunge over four years.
Amid reaction, Trump announced on Tuesday morning that he would buy Tesla in support of Kasturi and Doje’s efforts.
“I’m going to buy because the number one, it’s a great product. Good to get it. Number two, because this man [Elon Musk] To do this, he has dedicated his life and his life, and I think he has been treated unfairly, “Trump said with Kasturi in the afternoon.
“I mean that someone else has started the car company in the last years that have been successful, I don’t think,” Trump said, “but because he is looking for all the terrible things against our country, we want to punish him in the economic sense.
