Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, disclosed that he has been receiving death threats. He made this statement during a recent interview with FOX News host Bret Baier.
The tech billionaire was responding to personal attacks and Tesla dealerships facing firebombs.
“Well, I think a great wrong is being done to the people of Tesla and to our customers. I mean, Tesla is a peaceful company that has made great cars and great products. That’s all it’s done,” Musk said.
“It hasn’t harmed anyone. And yet, people are committing violence. They are firebombing Tesla dealerships.
“They are shooting guns into stores. They are threatening people. They are issuing death threats against me and another Tesla employee.
“What are they doing this for? Why? And what’s happening,” he further stated.
Meanwhile, United States President Donald Trump had said that people who are caught sabotaging Tesla cars may stand a chance to go to jail for up to 20 years.
This comes after US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced charges against three people responsible for putting ablaze Tesla properties in Las Vegas, United States.
Bondi called the recent violent attacks on Tesla property “nothing short of domestic terrorism.”
