More gunshots have been fired at a Tesla dealership for the second time in a week following Musk’s involvement with the Trump administration.

According to police, the showroom in Oregon was the target of gunfire for the second time within a week after new reports came in the early hours of Thursday morning (March 13).

Speaking to FOX12, police said that there were between 10 to 15 shots fired at the building, with ‘extensive damage’ being done to the building and cars.

The same showroom was previously the target of gunfire on March 6 by people protesting Elon Musk and Tesla.

However, this isn’t the only dealership to report damage after another location was struck by a Molotov cocktail.

This seems to be in response to Musk’s close ties to President Donald Trump after the tech billionaire took on a new role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in recent months.

Under DOGE, Musk has sparked controversy by making mass layoffs within the government to hack away at federal spending.

This has led to pushback from the public, with concerns growing over Musk’s access to confidential data in the Treasury payment system.

Earlier this week, Trump responded to the boycotting of Tesla by writing on Truth Social: “To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!

“But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for.”

Trump went on to write: “In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.

“Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”

And Trump doesn’t appear to be concerned about Tesla’s declining market.

He said: “Markets are going to go up and they're going to go down but, you know what, we have to rebuild our country.”

The president went through with his promise, opening up what appeared to be his own Tesla showroom at the White House this week.

There, the Tesla CEO sold Trump his own electric vehicle, a Tesla Model S.
