Attorney General Pam Bondi had a warning for Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas. She told her to "tread very carefully" after Crockett made waves for targeting Elon Musk.
"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 said on "Sunday Morning Futures."
Bondi doubled down on her vow to stop violence against Tesla owners and dealerships. Some have seen cars torched and spray-painted with hostile messages.
Crockett’s comments came during a call with the Tesla Takedown movement. The group urges people to sell their Teslas and dump stock in the company.
"On March 29, it’s my birthday," Crockett said to the group. That day marks their "Global Day of Action" against Tesla.
"All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down," she continued. "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."
She insisted her words were nonviolent. Her message, she said, was about fighting for democracy in a peaceful way.
"We know that we are peaceful, loving people, and this is not about violence," Crockett said.
Still, Republicans say Crockett’s tone crosses a line. They accuse her of fueling attacks on Tesla.
Bondi didn’t hold back. She warned Tesla vandals they’d face serious consequences.
Three people are already facing charges. The DOJ said they targeted Teslas and EV charging stations.
"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 said.
