Trump floats sending Tesla attackers to El Salvador prisons (www.cnbc.com)

President Donald Trump suggested Friday that people found guilty of attacking Tesla properties could serve their sentences in El Salvador prisons, sharply ramping up his rhetoric in defense of Elon Musk’s company amid an intensifying backlash.

The president’s threat on Truth Social added to his administration’s increasingly vocal support for Musk, the billionaire and Trump megadonor who is now leading the divisive government-slashing DOGE initiative.

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” Trump wrote in the social media post Friday morning.

“Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!” he wrote, referring to his administration’s controversial deportation of alleged gang members.

Part of the plan. Shove the most blatant insane shit in while Trump is alive. Then when he conveniently has a stroke or is simply declared unfit... Vance and the others will seem like an easing off of things yet they will revel in that mask of normalcy to continue slowly escalating... key word there being slowly.

This means it’s working. It’s getting to them.

Tangentially related and definitely dystopic: El Salvador's infamously high incarceration rate is only slightly higher than Louisiana's.

I think it's very kind hearted that they think a parking lot door ding on a Tesla is only worth 5 years.

please remember that teslas are rolling spy machines. protect yourself accordingly. for your own privacy, I would never approach a tesla (you know, to gawk at a distance) without adequate protection.
