Lawyer Common Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tx., to “tread very carefully,” days after the Democrat acquired consideration from Trump allies for suggesting Elon Musk ought to be “taken down.”
“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we are going to fight to protect all the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi vowed on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
She reiterated her earlier pledge that widespread violence towards Tesla homeowners and dealerships — which have seen electrical automobiles engulfed in flames and defaced with hostile imagery — will “come to a stop.”

Crockett’s under-fire remarks got here throughout a nationwide name with the Tesla Takedown motion, a self-described “peaceful protest platform” calling for Tesla homeowners to promote their automobiles and for all to dump their inventory within the EV supplier.
“On March 29, it’s my birthday,” Crockett instructed the group in reference to an upcoming “Global Day of Action” meant to hit again on the firm.
“All I need to see occur on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” she added. “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.”

Crockett went on to make clear that her calls to motion are “nonviolent” and are about figuratively “fighting” for democracy.
“We know that we are peaceful, loving people, and this is not about violence,” she added partially.
Republicans, alternatively, have accused Crockett of inciting violence towards the EV supplier along with her rhetoric.

Amid the Justice Division’s crackdown on the violence, three individuals accused of damaging Teslas and EV charging stations now resist 20 years in jail for alleged “domestic terrorism.”
“People need to know that the three people in custody right now… will receive severe and swift consequences… We are not coming off these charges. We are looking at everything, especially if this is a concerted effort. This is domestic terrorism,” Bondi stated.
