Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a stark warning to Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) following Crockett's recent remarks about Tesla CEO Elon Musk. During a virtual rally for the "Tesla Takedown" movement—a group organizing protests against Musk's involvement in federal government restructuring—Crockett expressed her desire to see Musk "taken down" on her upcoming birthday, March 29. She emphasized that her call to action was nonviolent, focusing on economic impact rather than physical confrontation.
Bondi responded during an appearance on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures," cautioning Crockett to "tread very carefully" with her statements. She asserted that "nothing will happen to Elon Musk," and emphasized the administration's commitment to protecting Tesla owners nationwide. Bondi also highlighted the Department of Justice's intent to curb domestic terrorism, referencing recent arrests related to vandalism of Tesla properties.
This escalating tension underscores the broader debate over the use of inflammatory language in political discourse and the responsibilities of public officials in advocating for change.
