Tesla's image has been badly tarnished by Elon Musk's role in the US government's cost-cutting drive and his company has become the target of vandals AFP A man who allegedly torched two vehicles at a Tesla dealership and painted "Die Elon" on the side of the building has been hit with federal charges, the US Department of Justice said Monday. The charges are the latest to be levied in connection to attacks on the EV maker, whose boss Elon Musk has become a hate figure for some over his role in slashing government as a top advisor to President Donald Trump. Two Tesla vehicles were badly damaged in the firebomb attack on a showroom in Albuquerque on February 9, and slogans likening Musk and his company to Nazis were sprayed on the walls.
