On March 26th, the Las Vegas government announced the arrest of a man who attacked Tesla’s vehicle repair center.

The man, Paul Kim, identified as to be 36 years old, used firearms, Molotov cocktails, and  spray paint to vandalize the center on March 18th.

Authorities stated that Kim spray painted the word “resist” on the front gate of the building, fired multiple rounds of gunshots at parked vehicles, and ignited a fire using the firebomb.

In total, five Tesla vehicles and the service center building sustained severe damage.

Despite the extensive destruction, no injuries or residential property damages were reported.

Footage of the incident was recorded by nearby residents, and with the support of the FBI, authorities apprehended Kim after eight days of investigation.

Kim was charged with multiple felonies, including arson and possession of an unregistered firearm.

Authorities suggested that Kim likely had dissatisfaction with Trump’s new government and his favoritism towards Musk, which may have motivated the crime.

His attack is considered as one of the biggest Tesla vandalisms in recent days, shocking many people.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of similar crimes by people who have problems with Elon Musk’s actions.

One of the main reasons behind the outrage, including Kim, is Musk’s involvement in the government, particularly his position in the Department of Global Efficiency (DOGE).

Musk was announced as a special government employee, meaning he would still keep ownership of his brands while serving a role in the federal government.

People were frustrated with this announcement, as it gave Musk the potential to  leverage government influence  to  benefit his own business.

Furthermore, other criminals who vandalized Tesla claimed that they committed the violences because of Musk’s recent Nazi-related ceremony.

Elon Musk was seen  performing a gesture resembling Nazi salute in front of audiences at an inaugural event on January 20.

He faced widespread criticisms from the vast majority of the media, becoming one of the biggest issues in January.

Two men, enraged by the incident, were recently arrested for carving the word “Nazi” and its symbol Swastika onto the side of a Tesla Cybertruck as a protest.

Moreover, there have been Tesla vandalisms outside the United States as well due to Musk’s unprofessional behavior.

For instance, Canadians are antagonizing Elon Musk because he stated Canada is not a real country: he has directly referred to the idea of the United States annexing Canada.

As a result, a Tesla dealership building in Montreal, Canada was spray painted by protesters on March 19th.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has come out on a news report and addressed the Tesla incident.

On Fox News, Musk stated that Tesla is a peaceful and benevolent company and yet people are committing violences.

Musk added that his company and its products should not be targeted for political problems.

Likewise, Tesla vehicles are getting terrorized due to growing public frustrations of people, from recent behavior that Elon Musk has been taking to the community.
