Presidential Protections for American Business
In a bold defense of free enterprise, President Trump is taking unprecedented action to protect Tesla from the increasingly violent left-wing protests targeting the American electric vehicle manufacturer. The anti-Tesla demonstrations have escalated from peaceful protests to outright destruction of property, with incidents of vandalism at dealerships nationwide and charging stations set ablaze. Trump didn’t mince words about the perpetrators, who are primarily motivated by their hatred of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s role in helping the administration trim federal bloat.
“They’re harming a great American company,” Trump declared, making it clear he views these attacks as an assault on American business, not legitimate political protest. “Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you, and … you’re going to go through hell.” The President’s designation of these acts as domestic terrorism reflects the administration’s zero-tolerance approach to political violence – a stark contrast to the previous administration’s passive response to the 2020 riots that devastated American cities.

Walking the Talk: Trump’s Tesla Purchase
In what might be the most powerful endorsement possible, President Trump announced he’s personally purchased a Tesla Model S, starting at approximately $80,000. This move sends an unmistakable message to the radical activists targeting the company: not only will their violence be prosecuted, but their objectives will fail spectacularly. The timing couldn’t be better for Tesla, whose stock had been suffering due to lowered delivery projections for both the first quarter and full year, but rebounded nearly 4% following Trump’s statements of support.
“I will do that, I’ll do it, I’m going to stop them,” Trump affirmed, regarding his plan to halt the violence. “They’re bad guys. They’re the same guys that screw around with our schools and universities.”
The movement calling itself “Tesla Takedown” has attempted to distance itself from the violence, claiming they support only peaceful protest. Yet the pattern of escalating attacks makes this disavowal ring hollow. Their representatives claim “peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism,” yet fail to acknowledge that what’s happening goes far beyond constitutionally protected speech into the realm of coordinated intimidation and destruction of private property.
Real Victims of Anti-Tesla Extremism
Lost in the political narrative are the stories of everyday Americans targeted simply for driving a Tesla. Dr. Kumait Jaroje had a Nazi sticker placed on his Cybertruck – a disgusting act of intimidation that initially deterred him from driving his vehicle. Imagine being harassed and labeled a Nazi simply for your choice of automobile. These are the real-world consequences when political rhetoric spirals into hatred, and exactly why Trump’s designation of these acts as domestic terrorism is both appropriate and necessary.
“When you vandalize people’s property, when you terrorize them for their personal choices this is not acceptable,” said Dr. Jaroje. “That’s not the right way to do it. Express what you think, talk about it, go online, go protest but don’t vandalize, don’t destroy, don’t terrorize.”
Thankfully, with Trump’s firm stance against this intimidation, Dr. Jaroje now feels emboldened to drive his Cybertruck again. This is exactly what defending constitutional freedoms looks like in practice – ensuring Americans can make consumer choices without fear of retribution from political extremists. While the self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” are busy firebombing charging stations, it’s refreshing to see a president who understands that protecting American businesses and their customers from political terrorism is fundamental to preserving our republic.
