The Justice Department has charged a 19-year-old for 'firebombing' Cybertrucks at a Tesla dealership
Briefly

A 19-year-old named Owen McIntire has been charged with firebombing Cybertrucks at a Tesla dealership in Kansas as part of a wider trend of attacks against Tesla facilities, fueled by public discontent over CEO Elon Musk's government affiliations. The Justice Department is strict about pursuing harsh penalties for such attacks, indicating that offenders will face significant legal consequences. Concurrent protests against Tesla's operations suggest a correlation with falling stock prices and increased hostility toward the company, with Musk’s agenda provoking a backlash amid ongoing budget reforms.
Protesters angry with Tesla CEO Elon Musk's work with the White House DOGE Office to reduce government spending and cut staff have attacked several Tesla facilities across the United States.
The Kansas City incident should serve as another reminder that anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: you will not evade us.
The Justice Department warned it would pursue severe penalties for attacks on Tesla properties, stating that you will be arrested, you will be prosecuted.
The company's stock price has also plummeted, indicating a broader impact of protests and incidents on Tesla's market value.
