Man Charged With Destroying 5 Tesla Vehicles In Las Vegas, Amid Anti-Musk Wave

Posted by: lukwago J in World news March 28, 2025

A disturbing incident unfolded as a man, Paul Hyon Kim, allegedly engaged in destructive behaviour by setting fire to and shooting at five Tesla vehicles. The Department of Justice revealed that Kim faced federal arson charges for his actions targeting a Tesla business in Las Vegas.

Reports emerged of gunshots at the Tesla repair center on March 18, prompting authorities to intervene.

The investigation unveiled the use of Molotov cocktails and a .30 caliber AR-style firearm in the deliberate destruction of the Tesla vehicles.

Notably, graffiti bearing the message ‘Resist’ was left on the building’s facade, adding a sinister dimension to the incident.

Following his arrest a week later, Kim was charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm and arson.

The severity of the situation is exemplified by the potential 20-year prison sentence looming over him for the arson charge alone.

A firm stance against domestic terrorism

US Attorney General Pamela Bondi underscored the Department of Justice’s unwavering commitment to holding individuals involved in such acts of domestic terrorism accountable.

The message is clear: those targeting Tesla properties will face severe legal consequences until the cycle of violence is broken.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX, finds himself navigating challenges as he spearheads cost-cutting initiatives under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Despite the recent wave of vandalism against Tesla dealerships and vehicles nationwide, Musk remains steadfast in his mission.

As Tesla grapples with the aftermath of these attacks, coupled with a decline in stock prices, the company stands as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity.

The road ahead may be fraught with challenges, but the commitment to innovation and progress remains unwavering.
