Police said Monday that they had found multiple “incendiary” devices that had been placed at a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas.
The FBI was assisting Austin Police at the showroom on Monday morning.
The incident appears to be the latest attack on a Tesla location. The company has faced criticism for its CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.
Musk is overseeing DOGE, the administration’s effort to drastically slash federal spending and employee headcount.
The Austin Police Department, in a statement, said that officers responded to the Tesla showroom just after 8 a.m. local time.
“When officers arrived on scene, they located suspicious devices, and called the APD Bomb Squad to investigate,” the department said. “The devices, which were determined to be incendiary, were taken into police custody without incident.”
“This is an open and ongoing investigation, and there is no further information available for release at this time,” the department said.
