United States Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) over the weekend to be careful about inflammatory remarks that she made recently about wanting Elon Musk to be “taken down.”
Bondi made the remarks during a Sunday interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo while talking about recent attacks on Tesla dealerships and vehicles across the country by far-Left extremists.
“This is domestic terrorism and now you have this congresswoman, Crockett, who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk on her birthday,” Bondi said. “‘Let’s take him out on my birthday,’ she says. Yet she turns and says, ‘Oh, I’m not calling for violence.’”
“Well, she is an elected public official, and so she needs to tread very carefully, because nothing will happen to Elon Musk and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” she continued. “And it’s basic safety once again, domestic terrorism is going to come to a stop in our country.”
Bondi’s remarks come after Crockett said last week: “All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down. I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.”

Bondi said that so far, there have been three individuals who have been hit with federal charges in connection with attacks on Tesla.
“We have a dedicated Task Force,” she said. “These are not isolated incidents, as you know, and these aren’t vandals. These are Molotov cocktails, that could be a weapon of mass destruction, that they’re throwing in Tesla dealerships, that they’re lighting these Tesla charging stations on fire. They’re in residential neighborhoods.”
“I mean, it could cause tremendous damages, and people need to know that three people in custody right now, they will receive severe and swift consequences, and they are facing up to 20 years in prison,” she added. “We are not negotiating these, we are not coming off these charges. We are looking at everything, especially if this is a concerted effort.”
