German EV plant forced to close as nearby pylon damaged; CEO Elon Musk calls attack 'extremely dumb'
Tesla has stopped production at its Berlin factory after a group of activists set fire to an electricity pylon servicing the factory and nearby towns. The activists, who call themselves the Volcano Group, published a 2500-word letter claiming responsibility for the attack while calling CEO Elon Musk a “technofascist”. It accused Tesla of "consuming earth, resources, people, workers and in return spitting out 6000 SUVs, killer cars and monster trucks each week".
" According to German news agency DPA, Michael Stübgen, the interior minister of the Brandenburg region, said the fire appeared to be intentional. He said: “If the initial findings are confirmed, it will be a perfidious attack on our electricity infrastructure." The fire didn't spread to the factory itself but did leave it and the surrounding towns without power, because of heat damage to a high-voltage transmission line.
