Elon Musk has hinted at the plan he has in the works to counter the actions of who he deemed were ‘Tesla terrorists’ who are attempting to spark fear from destroying Tesla vehicles.
Since veering into politics and supporting Donald Trump, Tesla boss Elon Musk isn’t as popular as he once was.
This has resulted in some critics calling for an absolute boycott of Musk’s car company Tesla.
However, some individuals have gone further than thi,s and taken to destroying vehicles at dealerships or vandalizing random Tesla vehicles that they spot on the street.

Elon Musk hit back against these select individuals in a scathing rant on Fox News on April 1, and explained how he plans to deal with them.
This comes as boycott ‘Tesla Takedown’ organizers called for March 29 to be the biggest day of global action against the company.
The critics called for individuals to protest peacefully outside showrooms, dealerships, and even charging stations in order to speak out against Musk’s increasing influence in the US government.
Speaking to those causing destruction, however, Musk used it as an opportunity to take a shot at Democratic politicians.
Musk said: “It is remarkable that there is so much violence, people have had burnt cars, they have fired bullets into dealerships, they have scratched swastikas into Tesla of innocent people, they are just going about their lives.”
Musk insisted people who had purchased Tesla cars and the company itself had done nothing wrong to receive this negative publicity and vandalism.
Musk continued: “I find it ironic and incredibly hypercritical that the same Democrat politicians who want to throw someone in prison for 20 years simply for watching things at January 6 but not actually doing any violence... you don’t hear a single word from them about the actual violence happening against Tesla.
“What incredible hypocrites they are, it is outrageous, really, this is fundamentally a case of terrorism, it is widespread domestic terrorism with the purpose or intimidation, and it is harming innocent people.”
The billionaire tech mogul then spoke directly to those financially supporting people destroying and vandalizing vehicles.
Without naming any group or individual, Musk insisted that the people responsible are already known.
He said: “What we actually have to get to are the people who are organizing and paying for these attacks and protests, that is who we really need to go after.
“The people that are actually throwing the Molotov cocktails are the foot soldiers, what we need to do is go after the generals.
“We are going to do so, the President has made it clear that we are going to go after those who are paying and organizing these violent attacks and attorney general Bondi has said the same thing.”
