Tesla’s Gigafactory southeast of Berlin, Germany, has been the target of several protests in recent weeks. On Tuesday, sabotage claimed by the small far-left group Vulkangruppe forced the US car manufacturer to cease operations at its European plant. Activists claim responsibility for the arson, which knocked out a power pole near the site. Tesla is “eating land, resources, people, labor and spitting out 6,000 SUVs, killing machines and monster trucks a week,” the small far-left group denounced in a press release.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whom activists call a “technofascist,” criticized the production stop, the damage from which is estimated at several hundred million euros. “They are either the stupidest eco-terrorists on the planet or puppets of those with no good environmental goals,” he said on X (formerly Twitter). Brandenburg State Minister-President Dietmar Woidke (a Social Democrat) condemned “a form of terrorism” in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a daily newspaper in the south of the country cited by Courrier International.
