Watch: CNN “Comedy” Panel Openly Laughs About Tesla Violence In “Horrific” Moment
American Tribune ^ | March 25, 2025 | Will Tanner

In one of the more horrific moments, even for it, to be aired so far this year on CNN, panelists on one of the network’s late-night programs joked and laughed about the domestic terror campaign against Tesla cars, dealerships, and owners, a campaign of property destruction and violence meant to get Elon Musk to back off running the Department of Government Efficiency.

President Trump, as background, has said that because attacks on Telsa are obviously political in nature, they will be treated as domestic terrorism. Making that pledge, Trump announced, “I will label attacks on Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism…. We already know who some of them are, we are going to catch them.”

In any case, the incident occurred during CNN’s late-night comedy program, Have I Got News for You, on Saturday, March 22. During the program, the show’s panelists laughed and joked about domestic terrorism and riots that could come as a response to Elon Musk’s recent pledge to get involved with backing conservative candidates in judicial races.

Leading the charge on that was the far-left activist and alleged comedian Amber Ruffin, who asked, in relation to Elon’s pledge, “When do we riot?” Shockingly, the crowd for the late-night comedy show didn’t react with horror, and instead responded to her threats of violence with cheers and applause.

Building on that, “Reno 911” actor Michael Ian Black jumped in and joked about participating in the attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships, something Trump has said will be treated as domestic terror. Black said, “Here’s what I’ve been doing: I’ve been going around to random Tesla dealerships and lighting cars on fire.”

Continuing, Black mocked the Trump Administration’s attempts to hold those who are advocating for domestic terror attacks to be held accountable, saying, “I just realized: There’s a good chance I’ll get arrested for saying I was lighting cars on fire at a Tesla dealership. I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t do that.” Watch them here:

AG Pam Bondi spoke about the Tesla domestic terror matter in a statement released by the Department of Justice in which she said, “The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended. Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”

That came as part of a statement in which the DOJ announced that Trump’s vow to treat the attackers as what they are was being upheld. It said, “Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced charges against three individuals responsible for the violent destruction of Tesla properties. All three defendants will face the full force of the law for using Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla cars and charging stations.”

Describing what those three Tesla attackers have done, the DOJ added, “One defendant, also armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle, was arrested after throwing approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon. Another was arrested in Loveland, Colorado after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails. The defendant was later found in possession of materials used to produce additional incendiary weapons. In Charleston, South Carolina, a third defendant wrote profane messages against President Trump around Tesla charging stations before lighting the charging stations on fire with Molotov cocktails.”

No I really do talk to them. Well…I’d never go to a family wedding or funeral if I didn’t. But I just figure they’re uninformed and brainwashed about politics. That’s all one day they might see. A couple of them think it’s not horrific to appreciate What Trump is trying to do. So there’s that

individuals who damage Tesla autos to make a political statement

I think most of them are useful idiots too stupid to realize the SoreASS/DNC funded front groups are using them as sacrifices. Given the psychotic road rage out there it could only be a matter of time before one of these clowns mess with the "wrong guy" (or woman) and BADA BING! They got their martyr! Who will be the fool to literally take a bullet for the team?

Agreed, but that doesn’t exculpate them of RICO charges. DOJ needs a Grand Sweep of this whole criminal enterprise that has set out to destroy Tesla, Inc. from Soros on down to the useful idiot foot soldier.

But, somehow, parents who show up to school board meetings to voice their opposition to pornography in school libraries and drag queen story hours are what gets CNN’s crotchless panties all wadded up.

“President Trump: “I will label attacks on Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism”

i assume that some kind of officially legal finding in written form is necessary for a formal designation of terrorism, so that Federal indictments/charges of terrorism can be brought subsequently? ... if so, has the above been done, or is this just President Trump personally “labeling” some actions as “terrorism” without force of law?
