Terrorist attack on the Tesla factory in Germany: production interrupted, billions in damages, Musk furious
On Tuesday, a fire at power line pylons near Europe's only Tesla car factory in Grünheide knocked out electricity supplies to the factory and some surrounding communities. Police suspect arson with a terrorist attack.
The left-wing extremist “Vulkangruppe” claimed responsibility for the attack . Production therefore stopped for a certain period. The automaker is taking economic damages in the “high nine-figure range.” According to the plant director, the electricity supply will be interrupted for several days. It is not yet clear when production will be able to resume.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sharply criticized what caused the production halt at his Brandenburg factory . “ These guys are crazy in a bizarre way ,” Musk told Welt: “ Why would eco-terrorists burn down a substation used for electric vehicles and the general public? ” The technology billionaire had previously written on his portal: “ These are either the stupidest eco-terrorists in the world or they are puppets of those who do not have good environmental goals” .
The pylon damaged by terrorists
Who is the “Vulcano Group”?
“ We sabotaged Tesla today ,” reads a letter from the “Vulkangruppe”. The terrorists called for “ complete destruction of the Gigafactory” and accused Tesla of “ extreme operating conditions ” and groundwater contamination. The police agree that it was a terrorist act and are investigating in that direction
A “Vulkan group” was already suspected of starting an arson attack on the power grid at Tesla's construction site in 2021. At the time, on the radical left-wing website Indymedia.org, he accused Tesla of being neither green, nor ecological, nor social. The Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which deals with terrorist activities, mentioned the letter of responsibility in its 2021 report. It further stated: “In recent years, left-wing extremists have carried out arson attacks in Berlin several times as 'volcanic groups'”.
In 2013, a group calling itself “Anonymous / Vulkangruppe Katla” attacked a Vodafone radio tower in Berlin. The act is directed “ against total surveillance by governments, secret services and businesses, as well as against the proper functioning of the metropolis ,” we read in a note. In 2018 the “Volcanic Group Tear Up NetzHerrschaft” claimed responsibility for an attack on electrical and fiber optic cables in the capital. A brochure from the group reads: “Domination over people is being reorganized: through networks, algorithms and state and corporate access – in our lives and in everyday life. About our feelings, our thoughts, our actions, now and in the future. And it expands deeper and deeper. We are monitored, controlled and directed.” So we could define it as a group of modern anti-system anarchists. which will potentially cause a lot of problems for Tesla
So Musk learns to go to Germany and not come to Italy…
