After a string of attacks targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla <\/a>company, President Donald Trump is considering labeling the vandals as domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, when a reporter asked Trump about the issue, saying,  \u201cSome say they should be labeled domestic terrorists,\u201d Trump responded. \u201cI will do that. I\u2019ll do it. I\u2019m gonna stop \u2018em (if) we catch anybody doing it. Because they\u2019re harming a great American company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump lined Tesla vehicles up on the White House driveway as he was accompanied by Tesla CEO Elon Musk<\/a> while purchasing the Tesla S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLet me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we\u2019re going to catch you, and \u2026 you\u2019re going to go through hell,\u201d Trump added. \u201cWhite House spokesperson Harrison Fields said \u201congoing and heinous acts of violence against Tesla by radical Leftist activists are nothing short of domestic terror,\u201d .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although Trump stated he was not allowed to drive while he was president, he bought a Tesla S, saying he purchased it for his staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, authorities responded to multiple Tesla superchargers being set ablaze in Massachusetts. (RELATED:<\/strong> Trump Hater Accidentally Sets Himself On Fire While Trying To Destroy Tesla Station<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of seven chargers were damaged, police said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, NBC News noted<\/a>, \u201cThere have been at least a dozen [acts] of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships or charging stations in recent weeks, according to police and local reports.\u201d (RELATED:<\/strong> Woman In Custody After Explosives Discovered At Tesla Dealership<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incidents come months after a Tesla cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A U.S. Army soldier<\/a> drove the Cybertruck, which he rented from Turo, outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Upon arriving, the vehicle was detonated by explosives in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators found fireworks, gasoline canisters and camping fuel in the remains of the vehicle. The soldier was believed to have fatally shot himself shortly before the explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day of the attack, Musk commented<\/a> on X that the individual \u201cpicked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack\u201d because the \u201cCybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.
