Summary
President Trump suggested that those found guilty of attacking Tesla properties could serve their sentences in El Salvador prisons, escalating his defense of Elon Musk's company amid backlash. The threats came after Attorney General Bondi touted federal cases against individuals accused of damaging Tesla properties, while Commerce Secretary Lutnick urged people to buy Tesla stock. Despite the support, Tesla's stock has dropped in recent weeks due to controversy surrounding Musk's leadership of DOGE.
