Elon Musk suggested the Trump administration will be “going after” those on the left who are pushing “propaganda” about Tesla in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that aired Thursday night.
“They’re firebombing Tesla dealerships. They’re shooting guns into stores. They’re threatening people. They’re, you know, they’re issuing death threats against me and other Tesla personnel,” Musk said, addressing the spike in Tesla vandalism and protests.
“What are they doing this for? Why?” Musk asked rhetorically. “What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left. And they believe it. It’s really unfortunate.”
“The real problem is not … the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership. It’s the people pushing the propaganda that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here,” the Tesla CEO and de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continued.
“And we’re going to go after them. And the president’s made it clear, we’re going to go after them,” he added. “The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them.”
