Multiple bombs discovered inside Tesla showroom in Texas as threats in opposition to Elon Musk proceed
Multiple incendiary devices were found inside a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, on Monday morning as nationwide threats against CEO Elon Musk continue.
Austin Police Department officers were called to the electric vehicle showroom just after 8am after an anonymous caller reported that there were bombs placed inside the building.
Authorities rushed to the scene and located multiple ‘suspicious devices’ at the Tesla dealership. The Austin Police Department Bomb Squad were also called to help.
The incendiary devices – which are designed to cause large-scale, explosive violence – were taken into the police custody without incident, the department said.
It is unclear who planted the devices and when they did so. No arrests have been made. DailyMail.com contacted the Austin Police Department for more information.
Police are currently investigating the incident, which comes after a disturbing number of Telsas have been vandalized, burned, and targeted in attacks in recent weeks.
Trump, who bought his own Cybertruck earlier this month, declared the ongoing violence against Tesla as ‘domestic terrorism’ – however the warning has not deterred those attempting to cause havoc for Elon’s company.

It’s believed that the electric cars have been targeted due to Musk’s role in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Musk is leading the Department of Government Efficiency, and has wasted no time slashing federal spending and government employees across the country.
The CEO spoke out about an alleged conspiracy to assassinate him and destroy Tesla, the electric car company that has made him the richest man in the world.
Speaking on Fox News, Musk told Sean Hannity that his attempts to cut government waste and fraud is the reason why certain characters ‘want to kill me.’
‘It turns out when you take away people’s, you know, the money that they’re receiving fraudulently, they get very upset,’ he said.
‘And they basically want kill me because I’m stopping their fraud and they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping the terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things.’
Musk repeated the claim made by many conservative lawmakers, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, that there could be left-wing groups coordinating the protests and attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships.
‘I think there are larger forces at work as well,’ Musk said. ‘I mean, who’s funding and who’s coordinating it? Because this is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this.
‘Tesla is a peaceful company, we’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve never done anything harmful, I’ve only done productive things, so I think we just have a deranged… I think there’s some kind of mental illness going on here,’ he added.
