Tesla charging stations set on fire in protests against Elon Musk and Trump (Instagram @teslamotors)
At the beginning of this week, seven Tesla charging stations were intentionally set on fire at a shopping center in Littleton, Massachusetts, United States, about 48 kilometers from Boston.
The incident occurred overnight and was attributed to acts of vandalism related to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s alliance with U.S. President Donald Trump. The flames produced thick smoke, and local police were forced to request a power shutdown to prevent further damage, but another station caught fire before the power was cut.
This attack is part of a series of protests and vandalism targeting Tesla since Musk established his partnership with the Trump administration. Musk’s political stance, including his actions against federal bureaucracy and job cuts, has led to reprisals against the company.
Additionally, a woman from Colorado has been charged with property destruction and placing an incendiary device at a Tesla dealership, reflecting the increasing political tensions surrounding the automaker.
Despite criticism and attacks, Tesla continues to lead the electric vehicle market in the U.S. Many owners still choose to buy Teslas as a way to support Musk’s policies, while others are selling their vehicles to distance themselves from the political image associated with the CEO.
The company has not yet officially commented on the recent incident in Massachusetts.
