Fri Mar 21 15:46:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Threatens 20-Year Sentences, El Salvador Prison for Tesla Vandalism Suspects
**Washington D.C.** – Following a series of attacks on Tesla vehicles and facilities, former President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to those involved, threatening 20-year prison sentences and potential deportation to El Salvador. Three individuals have already been charged with federal crimes related to the attacks, which authorities have classified as domestic terrorism.
The attacks, allegedly linked to a social media movement dubbed “#TeslaTakedown,” have included Molotov cocktail attacks and vandalism featuring stickers proclaiming, “I bought this before Elon went crazy.” The incidents come amidst a backdrop of controversy surrounding Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting initiatives, which have sparked debate about potential conflicts of interest.
Trump, a vocal supporter of Musk and Tesla, took to Truth Social to condemn the attacks, stating he looked forward to seeing those responsible receive lengthy prison sentences, even suggesting El Salvador as a potential location for their incarceration. This follows a recent agreement between the U.S. and El Salvador to deport migrants to the country’s controversial CECOT anti-terrorism prison, which has been criticized by Human Rights Watch for alleged abuses.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has announced a congressional investigation into the Tesla attacks, claiming that Democrats are behind the incidents, while praising Musk’s DOGE efforts as “heroic.” Tesla’s stock has plummeted by 50% since last year.
The Justice Department is currently pursuing the three individuals charged in connection with the attacks, highlighting the seriousness with which the government is treating this incident. The situation remains highly volatile, with Trump’s strong rhetoric adding further fuel to the controversy.
