A radical group that previously stirred up chaos in Philadelphia during the 2020 “Summer of Rage” is now reportedly targeting Tesla vehicles across the U.S., according to federal authorities. This group, known as Philly Anti-Capitalist, has been publishing tips on its website to help attackers create more effective arson devices that are harder to trace. They specifically advise against using Molotov cocktails, suggesting alternative incendiary devices instead.
Federal investigators have identified Tesla dealerships and charging stations as frequent targets of these politically motivated attacks. The escalation coincides with Elon Musk’s leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump. Attorney General Pam Bondi has labeled these Tesla-related attacks as “domestic terrorism.”
Recently, the Department of Justice announced federal charges against three individuals linked to firebombing incidents at Tesla facilities. President Trump took to Truth Social to express his views on the matter: “I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”
Philly Anti-Capitalist is notorious for its history of violent actions. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the group has previously vandalized a University of Pennsylvania police vehicle, shattered business windows, and defaced areas with anarchist and anti-police slogans. Police had warned residents to stay inside during these disturbances.
On the night of August 25, 2020, the Division of Public Safety at UPenn updated its website with details of the events, issuing an all-clear update later that night. An initial alert was sent to the Penn community at 9:37 p.m., as reported by The Daily Pennsylvanian. Now, it seems the group is urging similar actions against Tesla facilities.
A recent post on the group’s website provides detailed instructions on building and deploying explosives for maximum impact. It includes advice on how to ensure anonymity and avoid detection while carrying out these attacks. The post encourages supporters to “go torch the ever-loving s— out of every part of this miserable society.”
The group has openly celebrated the vandalism and arson targeting Tesla, saying, “Seeing the wave of Tesla arsons has made us incredibly happy.” Fox News Digital reached out to federal and state authorities for comments on the situation but received no responses. Efforts to contact local authorities and the group itself were also unsuccessful.
Federal charges have been filed against three individuals for their roles in the Tesla firebombings. Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon. Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, 42, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado, for attempting to ignite Teslas with Molotov cocktails.
Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, allegedly vandalized Tesla charging stations in Charleston, South Carolina, with anti-Trump graffiti before setting them on fire. The investigation into the broader network supporting these attacks is still ongoing. Authorities are working to uncover any additional connections and prevent further incidents.
The group’s actions have sparked concern and condemnation from various law enforcement agencies. The lack of cooperation from Philly Anti-Capitalist and their continued advocacy for violence has made them a public threat. The federal charges against the three individuals mark a significant step in addressing the attacks.
Philly Anti-Capitalist’s boldness in promoting violence raises questions about the effectiveness of current security measures. Law enforcement agencies are being challenged to adapt and respond to this evolving threat. The ongoing investigation aims to dismantle the network responsible for orchestrating these attacks.
The incidents have highlighted the need for increased vigilance and security at Tesla facilities nationwide. Authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious activities related to the targeting of Tesla vehicles and facilities. The attacks have also sparked discussions about the role of political ideology in acts of domestic terrorism.
Elon Musk’s leadership at DOGE under President Trump has been a focal point in these politically charged attacks. Supporters of Musk and Tesla are calling for justice and stronger measures to protect against future incidents. The ongoing legal actions against the accused individuals are seen as a step toward accountability.
Philly Anti-Capitalist’s radical actions and ideology continue to pose challenges for law enforcement and public safety. The group’s encouragement of violence and destruction remains a significant concern. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are determined to bring those responsible to justice and prevent further attacks.

Violent Democrats attacking….Democrats!
Vile violent dimmercraps, incompetent LEOs, prob dimmercraps too.
Attach an identifiable metallic marker to the terrorists. Anyone, who can afford a Tesla, can afford such a labeling device.
The “20-year jail sentences”, mentioned in the article, should be without lubrication.
Time to fight fire with fire…..burn down Planned Parenthood murder centers, D.N.C. offices and sewage treatment plants.
