Dozens of state financial officers pen letter to Bondi about devastating impact of Tesla attacks

More than two dozen state financial officers on Monday wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the recent attacks on Tesla dealership and cars, which they claim has had a substantial impact on their communities.  

The letter comes after a series of attacks on Tesla vehicles, sales centers and supercharging stations have taken place across nine states. Some of the attacks include arson. The attacks are largely protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his work with the Trump administration.

The 26 state financial officers, which include state comptrollers, auditors and treasurers, claimed the attacks "have led to significant financial losses affecting millions of Americans."

"These attacks are not just politically charged, they undermine the financial well-being of the public servants who dedicate their lives to the betterment of our society and affect the long-term financial growth of our state pension systems and other state treasury investments," the letter, shared with Just The News, states. "Many state investment funds, including public pensions that hold the retirement savings of our public school teachers, first responders, and police officers, are invested in Tesla for good reason.

"As of December 31, 2024, Tesla employs over 125,000 workers, and, before these incidents began in late January 2025, was valued at roughly $1.3 trillion and trading at over $400 per share," the letter continues. "Since these attacks started, Tesla’s stock has plummeted."

The letter calls for elected officials to refer to the attacks as "domestic terrorism," which the FBI has already done, and commended the Trump administration for already taking "swift" action to respond to the attacks, and the FBI for launching a task force.

The letter was signed by Alabama auditor Andrew Sorrell, Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee, Kansas Treasurer Steven Johnson and Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity, among others.
