When asked in a Fox News interview whether he views Tuesday's incident, in which several Tesla vehicles were lit on fire in Las Vegas, as an act of domestic terrorism, United States President Donald Trump said "I think so."
"I think that if and when they catch the people, and I hope they do, and they've caught some already having to do with that, I think that you'll find they're being paid by people that are very highly political on the left," Trump claimed.
Trump claimed last week that "radical left lunatics" are trying "illegally and collusively boycott Tesla" so as to "attack and do harm to Elon."
