Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing criticism after she refused to condemn recent violent incidents targeting Tesla dealerships and their owners.
Despite growing concerns over the safety of Tesla facilities, Pelosi remained silent when asked by a reporter to disavow the violence.
Attacks on Tesla locations have intensified in recent weeks, with reports of explosive devices being found under vehicles at a dealership in Austin, Texas.

This follows a string of other incidents, including gunshots fired into Tesla stores and threats made against Tesla employees.
Despite the rising tensions, Pelosi did not address the issue when confronted by a reporter at a public event.
When asked for her thoughts on the violence at Tesla dealerships, Pelosi responded, “I’m so sorry, I’m a little bit late here right now,” before quickly moving on without condemning the attacks.
The reporter pressed her further, urging her to simply say, “I condemn it,” but Pelosi offered no such statement.

The refusal to comment has sparked outrage, as critics accuse Pelosi of turning a blind eye to the violent actions perpetrated against innocent Americans and businesses.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also responded publicly to the attacks, expressing his disbelief over the violence targeting his company, which he described as peaceful and law-abiding.
Musk addressed the situation in a statement, saying, “Tesla is a peaceful company that has made great cars, great products. That’s all it’s done. It hasn’t harmed anyone. And yet, people are committing violence. They’re firebombing Tesla dealerships. They’re shooting guns into stores. They’re threatening people. They’re issuing death threats against me and another Tesla personnel.”
Musk further questioned the motives behind the violence, saying, “What are they doing this for? Why?”

He suggested that the violence was being fueled by propaganda from the far left, stating, “What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left. And they believe it. It’s really unfortunate. The real problem is not the people.”
According to Musk, the individuals committing violent acts are not the true culprits. “It’s not like, you know, the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership. It’s the people pushing the propaganda that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here,” Musk added, vowing, “we’re going to go after them.”
Musk’s remarks come amid growing concerns for his safety, particularly following his outspoken involvement in the Trump administration’s efforts to combat government waste and fraud.
Musk has previously stated that his life is in danger due to his work to expose corruption. Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Musk explained, “When you take away people’s … fraud, the money they’re receiving fraudulently, they get very upset, and they basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud.”
Musk also suggested that his company’s efforts to prevent waste and corruption have made Tesla a target for violent individuals.
“And they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things,” Musk said.

As attacks on Tesla facilities continue to escalate, the lack of condemnation from prominent figures like Pelosi has raised questions about the response to violence and the role of political rhetoric in inciting such actions.
While Musk has pledged to address the propaganda fueling the violence, the ongoing threat to Tesla employees and customers remains a growing concern.
