Is it though? Terrorism is the use of violence to achieve a political goal by creating fear in a population. The people who are targeting Tesla dealerships aren’t directing their message to the general population, they’re directing it to one Nazi in particular.
Exactly. They aren’t even attempting to scare Tesla customers themselves. It’s all about tarnishing Musk’s image, sending a message, and damaging his cashcow.
Yes that’s by definition domestic terrorism, Elon is part of government and even if he weren’t so long as the fires and such are intended to raise awareness by fear or loss of profit it would still be by definition domestic terrorism.
For reference according to the FBI since 1982:
The FBI defines terrorism, domestic or international, as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government or civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives.

I don’t know how weird US Law can get, but Elon Musk is not “a Government”, a “civilian population” and at this point not even an elected official.
Since these protests are aimed at discrediting and damaging a specific individual and/or enterprise, the FBI definition does not apply.
He is part of the government and you’re either being stupid or you’re actually stupid, let’s hope it’s an act.

If the sentence begins with “the FBI defines…” you can be sure it helps fascists…
Dank hyperbole but that really doesn’t change the definition.
