A Las Vegas man accused of firebombing Tesla vehicles is facing serious federal charges. Paul Kim, 36, could get up to 20 years in prison for using Molotov cocktails and guns to attack a Tesla service center. The FBI says this was domestic terrorism aimed at spreading fear.
Federal agents found rifles, shotguns, and bomb-making gear in Kim’s home. They say his DNA matched evidence from the crime scene. Police also discovered pink spray paint matching graffiti left at the vandalized Tesla lot. The word “RESIST” was painted on the building in what authorities call a political attack.
The FBI warned that far-left radicals cheering Kim’s actions won’t help him now. Agents stressed that violent extremists will face full consequences alone. Kim’s social media shows ties to communist groups and anti-Israel activists. This fits a pattern of attacks on Tesla sites since Elon Musk joined President Trump’s government efficiency team.
Similar Tesla arsons happened in Seattle, Kansas City, and Charleston. Radicals blame Musk for working with Trump to cut wasteful spending. This attack burned five electric cars and shut down the repair shop. Las Vegas police tracked Kim using license plate readers after spotting his Hyundai near the crime.
In New York, vandals carved “Nazis” and swastikas into a Tesla Cybertruck. Police are treating it as a hate crime. These coordinated strikes show how eco-extremists and anti-Musk forces are targeting American businesses.
Attorney General Pam Bondi slammed the attacks as domestic terrorism. She promised harsh punishment for anyone following Kim’s example. Conservatives argue this violence stems from Marxist groups brainwashing youth to hate success. Letting radicals burn private property unchallenged risks total chaos.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed Kim acted alone but may belong to wider networks. Federal charges ensure Kim won’t skate by with light state penalties. With prior felonies, he’s looking at decades behind bars.
The message is clear—attack American innovation, face maximum force. Law enforcement won’t tolerate mobs destroying jobs and progress. As Musk reforms Washington waste, patriots must defend freedom from communist saboteurs.
