Report: U.S. Army Special Operations Issues Threat Advisory Over Leftist Attacks On Tesla Owners, Vehicles
The U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) reportedly issued a “threat advisory” on Thursday warning of “possible threats” from radical left-wing activists against the command’s Tesla owners.
In screenshots of the alert obtained by Federalist contributor and retired Army ranger John A. Lucas, the USASOC informed service members of increased “concerns” regarding recent attacks against individuals who own Teslas and dealerships that carry the vehicle.
Within the past few months, extreme left-wing anarchists have been waging a rhetorical and physical war against the electric car company to protest its founder Elon Musk’s role in identifying waste, fraud, and abuse throughout the federal government. These acts of left-wing “resistance” have ranged from harassing Tesla owners to outright vandalizing and destroying Tesla vehicles and dealerships.
The Trump Justice Department and FBI have pledged to crack down on what Attorney General Pam Bondi has referred to as incidents of “domestic terrorism.” Three individuals were indicted by the DOJ on Thursday for allegedly destroying Tesla properties.
The USASOC advisory noted that while there are currently “[n]o credible threats directed at USASOC personnel or assets … there is potential as this is an emerging threat.” The notice specifically highlighted a new website called “Dogequest,” which “has allegedly published personal details of Tesla owners across the United States, sparking concerns over privacy and security.”
“Dogequest is an anonymous website that claims to ’empower creative expressions of protest’ by exposing Tesla owners’ personal data. According to 404 Media, the site includes a searchable database of Tesla drivers along with the locations of Tesla dealerships and charging stations,” the USASOC notice reads. “The site, which appears in the wake of anti-Elon Musk protests across the country, displays names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners on an interactive map and uses an image of a Molotov cocktail as its cursor.”
Equally notable, however, is the USASOC alert about an allegedly upcoming “Tesla Takedown” day of action.
The warning noted that “[p]rotesters worldwide are preparing for their largest demonstration yet, 500 coordinated actions at Tesla showrooms on March 29 aimed at CEO Elon Musk’s controversial policies.” The notice cited remarks from Alice Hu, named as executive director of the left-wing Planet Over Profit, who purportedly disclosed that such demonstrations will take place at the more than 275 Tesla showrooms across America and “hundreds more abroad.”
The threat advisory concluded by encouraging USASOC members to “remain on high alert while in public areas, especially in presence of Tesla branded items” and “[c]ontact the proper authorities for threat-related events once you are in a safe location.” It also advised “Tesla branded items owners [to] properly secure their property to prevent unwanted damage to their property” and all personnel to remain in a “safe location” on March 29.
