FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has revealed that the agency is conducting an investigation into attacks aimed at Tesla vehicles and the company’s dealerships, as well as related swatting incidents. President Donald Trump and other officials from the administration have denounced several of these occurrences as acts of “domestic terrorism,” attributing some of the motivations to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in budget cuts affecting federal agencies and employees driven by DOGE, as reported by Axios,
Bongino stated, “My priorities are communication and transparency. We serve you, the American public. Our teams are diligently addressing the incidents involving Tesla and the swatting cases, alongside our ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety of the Homeland. Thank you.”
