Pam Bondi warns Rep. Jasmine Crockett to 'tread carefully' over call for Elon Musk to be 'taken down'

She reiterated her previous pledge that widespread violence against Tesla owners and dealerships - which have seen electric vehicles engulfed in flames and defaced with hostile imagery - will "come to a stop."

Crockett's under-fire remarks came during a nationwide call with the Tesla Takedown movement, a self-described "peaceful protest platform" calling for Tesla owners to sell their vehicles and for all to dump their stock in the EV provider.

"On March 29, it's my birthday," Crockett told the group in reference to an upcoming "Global Day of Action" intended to hit back at the company. 

"We know that we are peaceful, loving people, and this is not about violence," she added in part.

Republicans, on the other hand, have accused Crockett of inciting violence against the EV provider with her rhetoric.

Amid the Justice Department's crackdown on the violence, three people accused of damaging Teslas and EV charging stations now face up to 20 years in prison for alleged "domestic terrorism."
