Despite their performative outrage, it appears that many on the left are still funneling money to Elon Musk’s Tesla.

Tesla owners and the dealerships selling the vehicles have faced violent attacks, vandalism and intimidation from leftists upset by Musk’s influence in President Donald Trump’s administration. For many elected officials like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, the fire bombings, car keying and doxxing don’t merit an official statement, though that has not stopped her from slinging around hyperbole such as calling Musk a “Nazi.”

However, it seems that not all Democrats are on board with the radical “domestic terrorism” being exacted against Tesla.

According to Fox News, Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-New Jersey, Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, Gil Cisneros, D-California, and Ro Khanna, D-California, have all purchased Tesla vehicles since the January 20 inauguration of Trump’s second term. Meanwhile, Reps. Pat Ryan, D-New York, Jared Moskowitz, D-Florida, Adam Smith, D-Washington, and Dwight Evans, D-Pennsylvania, all “remain invested in Tesla.”

Cisneros reportedly publicly trashed the Trump administration just one month after the inauguration, accusing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) of “causing destruction.” He also slammed Musk by saying “He basically bought himself the presidency of the United States” and claiming he has “no doubt [Musk] is the one calling the shots.”

But a few days later, Cisneros would purchase “between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of Tesla stock as the company faced a protracted decline in value, likely due to Musk’s sudden wane in popularity.”

Likewise, Gottheimer spoke out against Musk in early February, saying “the risks to Americans’ privacy and financial security from Musk’s unchecked access are not only unacceptable but also outright dangerous.”

“My constituents are deeply concerned about Elon Musk having unrestricted access to their Social Security numbers, tax refunds, health, and bank account information,” he added “To be clear: No one elected Elon Musk or entrusted him with keeping sensitive data from falling into the hands of our adversaries.”

Like Cisneros, Gottheimer purchased “purchased up to $45,000 in Tesla stock” around the same time these comments were made.

“This month, as anti-Musk rhetoric and attacks began bursting into literal flames, Gonzalez, who said ‘DOGE’s action is incredibly concerning,’ purchased between $65,000 and $150,000 worth of Tesla stock,” the Fox report added.
