The president also implied attacks on cars were part of a national conspiracy against his megadonor Elon Musk.

President Donald Trump has joined the chorus of threats from his administration against anyone found guilty of vandalizing Teslas.

“People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to 20 years, and that includes the funders,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social. “WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!!”

Hours later, he followed up with a second post musing that anyone who damages a Tesla could be deported to El Salvador.

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” he wrote. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”

Deporting U.S. citizens is unconstitutional, the American Civil Liberties Union told NPR. Even deporting non-citizens to Salvadoran jails, as the administrative has already done, is legally suspect, given the documented human rights abuses that take place there, experts told the outlet.

A 2023 State Department report found that inmates in El Salvador have been electrocuted, tortured, and beaten to death.

The message came after Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that three defendants who had allegedly tried to use Molotov cocktails to light Teslas and charging stations on fire in Oregon, Colorado, and South Carolina were being charged with crimes that carried sentences of five to 20 years in prison.

Those arrests were actually made weeks ago, The New York Times reported, but Bondi appeared to time the announcements in response to a fresh wave of attacks this week. Arsonists in Las Vegas set a row of Teslas ablaze at a service center on Tuesday, and two Cybertrucks went up in flames at a dealership in Kansas City, Missouri, on Monday.

“Let this be a warning: If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars,” Bondi said during a press conference about the charges.

The defendants were charged with arson or attempted arson that affects interstate commerce.

The electric vehicle company has emerged as an outlet for voters’ anger at CEO Elon Musk, who heads a secretive government cost-cutting force called DOGE while still leading Tesla and the private rocket company SpaceX.

As Musk has led the effort to dismantle federal agencies, purge the civil service, and cancel billions of dollars in government contracts, Tesla sales have tanked in Europe and China, the company’s stock has plummeted, and protests have broken out at dealerships across the country. Vandalism and arson have also been reported.

On Thursday, Bondi said the attacks weren’t isolated incidents and were instead part of a bigger conspiracy with people “operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes”—a theory that Trump echoed in his social media post.

It wasn’t immediately clear why the government didn’t think the widespread anger against Musk was organic.

In just the past two months, the world’s richest man has given what some said appeared to be two fascist salutes on Inauguration Day, been rebuked for making Nazi jokes, told Germans to stop feeling bad about the Holocaust, called for federal judges to be impeached, and led DOGE as it has fired nuclear safety experts and blocked federal funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s research.

To show his support for the his megadonor and righthand man, Trump turned the White House lawn into a Telsa showroom, and his commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, advised Americans to buy Tesla stock.

Dan Shapiro, a former National Security Council and State Department official who served as President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Israel, called the spectacle of a Cabinet official promoting an individual stock belonging to a senior government employee a “through the looking glass”-level ethics violation.

Trump compares violence against Tesla to Capitol riot: ‘You didn’t have anything like that on Jan. 6’

President Trump on Friday compared the vandalization of Tesla dealerships across the U.S. to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, arguing the level of attacks on Elon Musk’s company wasn’t seen at the Capitol.

“I view these people as terrorists, just like others. When I looked at those showrooms burning and those cars — not one or two, like seven, eight, 10 burning, exploding all over the place. These are terrorists. You didn’t have that on Jan. 6, I can tell you,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

The president also slammed Democrats for not criticizing the violence against Tesla the way they criticized Jan. 6, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to protest his 2020 election loss.

And he brought up the death of Ashli Babbitt, who tried to climb through a broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby in the Capitol and was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer during the riot.

“You didn’t have anything like that on Jan. 6, which is sort of amazing because on Jan. 6, the Democrats were talking. Nobody was killed other than a very beautiful young woman, Ashli, Ashli Babbitt. Nobody was killed,” Trump said.

He also argued the attacks on Tesla is part of “an organized event,” saying the signs protesters hold are similar to one another.

“The people that finance it are, in my opinion, in just as big of trouble as the people who are setting the match, starting the fires,” Trump said.

The president earlier Friday issued a stark warning to those vandalizing Tesla dealerships, threatening extensive jail time.

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday labeled the attacks on the company as “domestic terrorism,” and announced Thursday that three alleged perpetrators had been arrested and are facing “serious charges.”

The White House has also gone to bat for Musk’s Tesla is other ways this week, including when Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested Americans should buy Tesla stock.

Tesla’s stock has plummeted in recent weeks, falling nearly 39 percent since the beginning of the year and more than 50 percent since late December. Musk is a top adviser to Trump and has become a bogeyman for critics of the administration who blame him for the efforts to cut federal workers and dismantle agencies.

Shitler has to find a way to control the masses when they come to take your medicaid, social security, VA benefits or student loans.

And he has called the protestors for Palestine terrorists and the tesla protestors terrorists and also said when he worked the deal with El Salvador that they could take deportees or AMERICAN citizens..

Trump says he didn’t sign proclamation invoking Alien Enemies Act

—
President Donald Trump on Friday downplayed his involvement in invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants, saying for the first time that he hadn’t signed the proclamation, even as he stood by his administration’s move.

“I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House on Friday evening.

The president made his comments when asked to respond to Judge James Boasberg’s concerns in court on Friday that the proclamation was “signed in the dark” of night and that migrants were hurried onto planes.

“We want to get criminals out of our country, number one, and I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump said. “Other people handled it, but (Secretary of State) Marco Rubio has done a great job and he wanted them out and we go along with that. We want to get criminals out of our country.”

The proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act appears in the Federal Register with Trump’s signature at the bottom.

Hours after the president made his comments on Friday, the White House claimed that Trump was not talking about whether he signed the document last week despite Trump responding to a reporter asking about the judge wanting “to know why the proclamation was signed in the dark, his words, and why people were rushed onto planes.”

“President Trump was obviously referring to the original Alien Enemies Act that was signed back in 1798,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in the statement. “The recent Executive Order was personally signed by President Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act that designated Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in order to apprehend and deport these heinous criminals.”

Yet Trump’s assertion that “other people handled it,” and his specific citation of Rubio, is at odds with that White House statement.

Trump raised Rubio’s name without prompting from reporters. When he was then asked a hypothetical question about whether he would send another deportation flight to El Salvador tonight amid the ongoing litigation, Trump said it would be up to Rubio.

“I would say that I’d have the Secretary of State handle it, because I’m not really involved in that, but the concept of getting bad people murderers, rapists, drug dealers, all of the, these are really some bad people out of our country. I ran on that. I won on that,” Trump said.

At a hearing earlier Friday, Boasberg vowed to find out whether officials in the Trump administration violated his orders temporarily blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations by refusing to turn two flights around last weekend.

“I will get to the bottom of whether they violated my order – who ordered this and what the consequences will be,” Boasberg said near the end of the hourlong hearing over whether he should lift the pair of orders he issued last Saturday.

Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, appeared incensed over how the Justice Department has handled the fast-moving case, opening the hearing by tearing into the tone the administration had taken in some of its court filings.

He told DOJ attorney Drew Ensign that the government had used “intemperate and disrespectful” language that he’s “never seen from the United States” as it pushed various legal arguments before him earlier this week, including the suggestion his orders from the bench last Saturday carried less weight than a written order that was issued shortly after those proceedings.

Much of Friday’s hearing focused on arguments from the Justice Department for why Boasberg should lift his orders to stop, for now, Trump’s use of the 18th-century law to quickly deport some migrants whom the US has accused of being affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The administration is arguing that Boasberg exceeded his authority in blocking the removals because, they say, Trump’s use of the act is an unreviewable by federal courts.

This man deserves a pardon! He's a true patriot!

Your being ridiculous,a real patriot would have killed a bunch of them.

Them being lefty scum… people who don’t worship at the alters of Trump or Elon.

I did see Elon begging people to hold their Tesla stock over the weekend. Is that what strong leaders do, beg when the crap hits them. I think Elon and Trump could use some rugged individualism and the markets should declare the winners and losers.

It's nice watching people such as yourself step into the light and show us who you really are.

People like you are why I tell liberals they need to stay locked and loaded. I am.

These people were marching on the sidewalk committing no crime. It wouldn't have worked out so well for him had I been on that sidewalk and his car came towards me.

BCbrownie is a dem. He was being MAGArcastic.

I don't care.

That’s the attitude! Now you’re figuring it out.

Sadly not everyone is tough guy,such as yourself.Especially on the internet.

Keyboard warrior-ing is a very specific and select skillset. It takes years of practice to master.

You are certainly an expert on the topic

Pot/kettle

It's funny that this is the way you would choose to label someone who is simply advocating they exercise their second amendment rights to protect themselves. I had no idea protecting yourself from being ran over by a car made you a tough guy.

Hopefully since you think that's the case if someone tries to run you over with a car I hope you have your funeral arrangements made in advance to prevent your family from having to go through that process after you're gone. If you wish to make yourself a victim have at it. I'm not the one for that.

Exactly my point. Neither of us will allow ourselves to be victims. I think that's just makes common sense. And as with both of us it extends well beyond the keyboard.

Take 2 lighten the F up tabs and call me tomorrow…

Im touched by your concern.And yes,I've taken care of most of the arrangements,I've went so far as to have my head stone placed,between my two boys.It just needs dated.

Political discourse aside, that's a sentence no parent should ever have to type. I don't know how I would even muster that strength needed to overcome that. My heart goes out to you -- truly.

This thread was never intended for political discourse.

I'm actually the OP of this thread. But to a degree I agree with you. I never expected everyone who always makes excuses for trump to come to this thread in an attempt to try and defend this............."Trump Threatens to Send Tesla Vandals to Prisons in El Salvador"

Considering you posted this makes it all that much more hilarious.

If you take that threat seriously then you really need to follow OCD's advice.

Why? Do you have any idea how many things he has already done that people said should not have been taken seriously already? I take it seriously that he most certainly would do it of he felt he could get away with it. He just sent illegal immigrants to a private prison in El Salvador claiming they were gang members while at the same time refusing to present evidence of that to a federal court. At the same time a Venezuelan official claims none of those people were members of the gang trump claims they belonged to.

Exactly where do you think the limits are of what he will do, or attempt to do begin and end?

I am listening to the appeal hearing-One of the appeals judges and I paraphrase said that if the government is allowed to continue with this the way it is set up, it is within reason that the government does not like something I issue from the bench, they could round me up and put me on a plane and send me to El Salvador or somewhere else without any recourse.

I think it's embarrassing that we have to constantly ask whether what our Pres just said was BS'ing or not... but yeah, the 'threat' is all theater.

I could be wrong of course, but I don't think BC meant it they way you are taking it. Sarcasm doesn't always show it self in the written word...

BC, feel free to correct me.

I take my lighten the F up teas all day, every day… only way I can even come into the “upside-down” at DT-PP and not feel like murdering people. So, yes, this is me chilled… You wouldn’t want to see me all wound up… you and others simply could not handle that.

We've seen it. Some laugh. Some shake their heads and some do both. I'm not sure in what world saying you will defend yourself requires taking a chill pill. Does that go against some progressive code of ethics I'm unaware of? Yet another shake your head moment.

Defend yourself?


I wasn’t aware that being a keyboard warrior was so high risk… and they call me radical.

There are a lot of things it doesn't seem you're aware of. But that's for another time.

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD plans to double its overseas sales this year as it steps up competition with Elon Musk’s Tesla and other automakers, a top executive said Tuesday.

BYD Chairman [censored] Chuanfu said that the company projects selling more than 800,000 vehicles outside China – up from 417,204 sold overseas in 2024.

Car buyers in Britain are “very open” to vehicles sold by BYD and other Chinese competitors, according to [censored], who said he expects a “substantial rise” in sales. The chairman also cited “great opportunities” in certain countries in Latina America and Southeast Asia that maintain friendly trade relations with China.
