| He's a dude |
Picture the scene: a 19-year-old college kid, Owen McIntire, allegedly goes full anarchist, chucking two homemade Molotov cocktails at a pair of Cybertrucks parked at a Tesla Center in Kansas City.
This is no prank—those trucks, worth over a hundred grand each, went up in flames.
The Justice Department dropped the hammer Friday, nailing McIntire with charges of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and maliciously torching property tied to interstate commerce. The young man's facing serious time.
The feds didn’t mess around. Using surveillance footage and cell phone data, the FBI zeroed in on the alleged miscreant, a Boston college student at UMass, who was apparently back home in KC on spring break when he decided to play fire-starter.

They’ve got video from nearby houses showing some dude in “dark flowy clothing and a large, white-colored hat” skulking around the crime scene—yep, they’re saying that’s our boy Owen. The FBI matched the car, the footage, and witness accounts to pin him down. Case is as tight as Kamala Harris and a box wine.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi came out swinging: “Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: you will not evade us. You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it.”

No mincing words there—she’s ready to bury anyone dumb enough to try this, and yes, Owen apparently was that idiot.
Rewind to March 17: a cop spots smoke near the KC Tesla Showroom, sees a Cybertruck burning. He douses the fire outside, but the truck’s toast, and the flames spread to another vehicle. Total loss: two high-dollar rigs. Surveillance paints a clear picture, and the feds weren’t playing catch-up for long.

This isn't an isolated tantrum.
Tesla’s been catching heat nationwide—vandalism, arson, you name it—ever since Elon Musk started flexing with the Department of Government Efficiency. The Justice Department’s calling these attacks straight-up domestic terrorism.
FBI Director Kash Patel doubled down: “This is the second arrest this week of a suspect charged with targeting Tesla, more proof that the FBI will not stand for these destructive acts. These actions are dangerous, they are illegal, and we are going to arrest those responsible.”
Kash is not bluffing.
Just Monday, the DOJ nabbed 40-year-old Jamison Wagner for allegedly firebombing the Republican Party’s headquarters and a Tesla showroom in New Mexico. That attack gutted the GOP’s Albuquerque base and torched two more Teslas.

Wagner’s staring down a possible 40-year bid if convicted.
McIntire? He’s up to his eyeballs in dung. The feds are playing hardball, and the message is loud: mess with Tesla, you’re not just poking a company—you’re begging for a cell.
Brain Flushings over and out.
