Multiple explosive devices were reportedly discovered inside a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, on Monday morning, amid ongoing nationwide threats against CEO Elon Musk.
According to *Mail Online*, Austin Police Department officers responded to the electric vehicle showroom around 8 a.m. after an anonymous caller claimed there were bombs inside the building. Authorities arrived at the scene and found multiple “suspicious devices,” prompting the involvement of the department’s Bomb Squad.
The incendiary devices, designed for large-scale explosive destruction, were secured without incident, police said. However, no arrests have been made, and it remains unclear who planted the devices or when. The investigation is ongoing, following a recent surge in attacks on Tesla vehicles, including acts of vandalism and arson.
Former President Donald Trump, who recently purchased a Tesla Cybertruck, condemned the attacks as “domestic terrorism.”
The incidents are believed to be linked to Musk’s role in the Trump administration, where he leads the Department of Government Efficiency. Since taking the position, Musk has aggressively cut federal spending and reduced government staff, which has reportedly fueled backlash.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Musk claimed there is a conspiracy to assassinate him and destroy Tesla. He suggested that his crackdown on government fraud and waste has made him a target.
“When you take away people’s fraudulently obtained money, they get very upset,” Musk said. “They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud, and they want to hurt Tesla because we’re fighting government waste and corruption. Bad people do bad things.”
