Why are Elon Musk and Tesla under attack?
Once the darling of the left, Elon Musk and Tesla are now under attack by Democrats.
They basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their fraud. And they want to hurt Tesla because we're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Thursday, March 20th, and this is Morning Wire.
What did the Daily Wire investigation uncover about federal agency corruption?
A new Daily Wire exclusive investigation reveals just how deep the corruption went at a now-shuttered federal agency.

How is Trump responding to legal challenges against his executive actions?
We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench.

What incidents are occurring at Tesla facilities nationwide?
Elon Musk remains in the spotlight this week with attacks on Tesla facilities continuing nationwide and the tech mogul working to bring home stranded astronauts.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the details. So Cabot, let's first start with the disturbing and growing trend of Tesla facilities being targeted. What's happening there?
Yeah, this week alone, we saw a Tesla facility attacked with Molotov cocktails and firearms in Las Vegas. In that incident, the perpetrator spray painted the word resist across walls and doors. The day before, we saw a similar case in a dealership in Kansas City with multiple cars being set ablaze. There were separate attacks at dealerships and charging stations across Massachusetts, South Carolina, Washington. The list goes on and on. And it's not just Tesla dealerships being hit. Dozens, if not hundreds, of individual owners have also been targeted. Social media has been flooded in recent days with security footage of Tesla owners finding their cars keyed, spray-painted, or with busted-out windows. And Musk himself has received numerous credible death threats as well in recent weeks. In one case, an Indiana man was arrested after threatening to kill him. Police found multiple guns and ballistic vests in his house.
Here's Musk talking with Sean Hannity about those attacks earlier this week.
Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful. I've never done anything harmful. I've only done productive things. So there's some kind of mental illness thing going on here because this doesn't make any sense.
This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement saying the DOJ is treating attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners as domestic terrorism because of their political nature. Bondi says perpetrators will be hit with five-year mandatory minimum sentences, and there will be severe consequences for, quote, those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes. Here she is on Fox Tuesday.
If you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you.
Now, all of this comes as Tesla stock prices have taken a major hit. Walk us through the details on that front.
How are recent events affecting Tesla's stock?
Yeah, since Musk took on a more prominent role in the Trump administration, Tesla has been just hammered on Wall Street with nine straight weeks of losses. They're now down 53% from their all-time high back in December. Many on the left have celebrated that news, saying not only should folks stop driving Teslas, but they should sell their stock in the company as well.
