Tesla’s market value plummeted by over $800 billion after a hacker targeted the company, revealing sensitive information about its owners and employees. The website DOGEQUEST, which lists the locations of Tesla showrooms, charging stations, and government employee homes, has raised concerns among authorities.
In a statement, Elon Musk condemned the hack as “domestic terrorism,” urging FBI Director Kash Patel to take action against those responsible. One of Tesla’s original investors, Ross Gerber, called for Musk’s resignation, citing overcommitment to his jobs at X and DOGE.
The website behind the hack claims it supports artistic protests and encourages users to show proof that they sold their Tesla. However, experts have raised concerns about the safety and security implications of the leak. The incident has sparked criticism against Musk, who is facing calls for resignation amid controversy over his ties to Donald Trump and leadership style.
Authorities are investigating possible threats to Tesla and its customers. The hack has also led to a surge in anti-Musk protests worldwide, with demonstrators holding signs reading “Block Fascism Now” and “Musk Must Go.” As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: the consequences of this cyberattack will be felt for a long time.
Tesla’s shares have fallen 53% since hitting a record high in December. The company’s market value has taken a hit, with some investors questioning Musk’s ability to lead the company effectively.
