The U.S. attorney general responded to recent comments made by a Democrat lawmaker seemingly stoking violence against billionaire Elon Musk.
Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) to “tread very carefully,” days after the Democrat got attention from Trump allies for suggesting Elon Musk should be “taken down.”
“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we are going to fight to protect all the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi vowed on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
She reiterated her previous pledge that widespread violence against Tesla owners and dealerships—which have seen electric vehicles engulfed in flames and defaced with hostile imagery—will “come to a stop.” (RELATED: Tesla Owners Beg For Defensive Measures Amid Wave Of Vandalism And Arson Attacks)
The Texas lawmaker’s under-fire remarks came during a nationwide call with the Tesla Takedown movement, a self-described “peaceful protest platform” calling for Tesla owners to sell their vehicles and for all to dump their stock in the EV provider.
“On March 29, it’s my birthday,” Crockett told the group in reference to an upcoming “Global Day of Action” intended to hit back at the company.
“All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” she added. “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.”
Crockett went on to clarify that her calls to action are “nonviolent” and are about figuratively “fighting” for democracy.
“We know that we are peaceful, loving people, and this is not about violence,” she added in part.
However, as dangerous acts of protest have sprung up across the country Republicans were quick to call out Crockett’s inflammatory language.
Amid the Justice Department’s crackdown on the violence, three people accused of damaging Teslas and EV charging stations now face up to 20 years in prison for alleged “domestic terrorism.” (RELATED: Attorney General Labels Recent Tesla Vandalism ‘Domestic Terrorism’ As Trend Continues)
“People need to know that the three people in custody right now… will receive severe and swift consequences… We are not coming off these charges. We are looking at everything, especially if this is a concerted effort. This is domestic terrorism,” Bondi said.
Musk rebuked those behind the recent attacks against Tesla’s vehicles.
“It’s really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of, really, hatred and violence from the left. I always thought that the left, you know, Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring, and yet they’re burning down cars, firebombing dealerships, they’re firing bullets into dealerships, they’re smashing up Teslas,” Musk said last Tuesday during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

And, WE know, that in spite of your law degree, you are an IGNORANT KNOW NOTHNG – YES, DOGE i ABOUT MONEY – It is about RECOUPING the money that has been SYSTEMATICALLY STOLEN from the American taxpayers by CORRUPT POLITICIANS Musk has NO need to steal money, and neither does President Trump; both have made built their businesses through BRAIN AND BRAWN – let me translate that for you – they have WORKED for their money and their current mission is NOT a personal mission, but one designated by THE AMERERICAN people who are tired of the corrupt beau acracy.
I don’t expect you to understand any of the above, but its it’s a worth a try even though it may remain blowing in the wind way beyond our meager comprehension.

Yep, those EV loving democrats who held high praise for Musk and his Tesla cars, sure have shown their true selves!
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
The congresswoman always has a lot of words but not much to say The democrats cannot stand that the taxpayers are seeing what kind of shit they were pulling They are thieves and should go to jail This includes Obama stealing money from USAID and using it to cause hate and discontent in our country He is a slimy mother fucker Now we all know he will suck your dick at the drop of a hat He can use his front with Jennifer Aniston They would steal the money off of a dead man They have no scruples no class just lies and bullshit They never do anything for our country and now we know why The democrats and taking money out of the back door faster than they can collect it from taxpayers The no go bastards have run up the national debt and used the money for themselves I am not going to say every democrat but a high percentage of them and there are republicans with scuba gear on too So it is the best time I can think of is to crush all of this wrongdoing prosecute everyone involved
