A fire accident occurred at a Tesla showroom, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, in the outskirts of Rome, Italy. The incident resulted in the complete destruction of 17 cars, as confirmed by Italian fire authorities. Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries, as no one was present in the showroom at the time. Authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation, but the exact cause of the fire remains unknown.
There has been growing opposition against Elon Musk, particularly due to his role in the Trump administration. Many people are protesting against his decisions as the head of the DOGE department, which was established by Trump. Protests have erupted in several parts of the U.S., with demonstrators calling for a boycott of Tesla. Some protests have turned violent, leading to attacks on Tesla showrooms, shootings, and arson, resulting in the destruction of multiple Tesla cars. This wave of attacks now seems to be spreading beyond the U.S., with recent anti-Musk and anti-Trump protests reported in Italy.
Elon Musk has already responded to these continuous attacks, calling them acts of terrorism. He condemned the violence, stating that his company is solely focused on manufacturing electric vehicles. He also posted on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing that those responsible for these incidents have no justification for their actions. Meanwhile, local authorities have launched an investigation into these attacks.
