President Donald Trump stood strong with American businesses this week. He promised to crack down on violent attacks against Tesla dealerships. Anyone who vandalizes property or hurts Tesla will face harsh consequences. Trump called these attackers “domestic terrorists” and said they’ll “go through hell” if caught.
At a White House event, Trump showed off shiny new Teslas alongside CEO Elon Musk. The president picked out a red Model S and said he’d pay full price to support the company. He praised Musk for creating jobs and building cutting-edge cars in America. Tesla’s stock jumped nearly 4% after the event, proving Trump’s support works.
Radical protesters have targeted Tesla showrooms and charging stations for months. In Portland, someone threw firebombs at a dealership. In Colorado, a suspect used explosives to damage cars. Even Tesla owners have faced harassment, like a doctor in Massachusetts who found hateful stickers on his truck. These attacks aren’t just vandalism—they’re an assault on American workers.
Republicans in Congress are demanding investigations into the violence. House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to help law enforcement hunt down the culprits. Lawmakers say peaceful protests are one thing, but destroying property crosses the line. They agree with Trump: harming businesses that employ thousands of Americans is unpatriotic.
Elon Musk thanked Trump for backing Tesla during tough times. He promised to double production at U.S. factories over the next two years. Musk called it an “act of faith” in America’s future under Trump’s leadership. The billionaire has faced criticism for helping Trump cut government waste, but he’s not backing down.
Protest groups like “Tesla Takedown” claim they’re peaceful, but their rallies keep turning destructive. They’re upset about Musk’s role in trimming federal bloat and ending costly contracts. Trump’s team fired back, saying these activists are trying to bully a company that’s doing right by America.
Tesla’s stock has been struggling lately, losing billions in value since December. But Trump’s endorsement gave it a much-needed boost. The president’s tariffs and “America First” policies are shaking up the economy, but he says the pain will lead to bigger wins for workers and companies.
While coastal elites mock electric cars, Trump and Musk are proving innovation thrives under strong leadership. The president’s message is clear: if you attack American businesses, you’re no better than a terrorist. With law enforcement cracking down and Republicans pushing probes, the days of unchecked chaos are over.
