FBI Director Kash Patel has confirmed the launch of a multi-agency task force aimed at identifying and prosecuting those behind a recent wave of violent attacks targeting Tesla vehicles, facilities, and charging stations—acts he said equal “domestic terrorism.”

“The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response,” Patel wrote on March 24 on the social media platform X. “This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice.”
