The New York Police Department Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after two men were caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck Thursday.
A representative of the NYPD informed Fox News Digital that at approximately 1 a.m., two individuals inscribed the word “Nazis” alongside a swastika on the doors of the Cybertruck, located at 730 Monroe Street in Brooklyn.
They fled on foot after vandalizing the car and haven’t been arrested, according to the NYPD.
Video provided by the NYPD from the Cybertruck’s safety camera shows two men taking turns drawing on the Tesla vehicles.
Musk commented, “They are being influenced by the far-left’s propaganda, and they have accepted it. The blame lies with those spreading these narratives, as they are the true instigators of such actions.”
“The real problem is not the people. It’s not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership.”
Musk said the problem goes beyond Tesla vehicles being vandalized.

Musk further remarked, “Tesla is a company dedicated to creating exceptional cars and products. That’s its sole contribution. It hasn’t caused harm to anyone, yet people are resorting to violence against it.”
In a post Monday on X, FBI Director Kash Patel said the violence against Tesla is domestic terrorism.
The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response.
This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice. https://t.co/U4VYh8XEve

On Monday, the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives launched a task force focused on the attacks on Tesla.

“As always, Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino have been adamant about responsiveness to agents on the ground and providing them the resources they need to serve Americans,” FBI spokesman Ben Williamson told Fox News Digital at the time. “This task force is just the latest move in coordinating our efforts to ensure those who violently attack Tesla will be pursued and brought to justice.”
