March 13 - Tesla (TSLA, Financial) is under fresh fire after President Donald Trump warned that anti?Tesla protesters would face hell if they continue targeting the electric carmaker

In a White House media event, Trump, seated in a new red Tesla, declared that demonstrators harming the company would be labeled domestic terrorists, intensifying political debate surrounding Tesla's operations.

Protests outside Tesla showrooms have surged in recent weeks, with demonstrators gathering in cities such as Portland and New York. Some incidents escalated to arson at showrooms and charging stations, further stoking tensions.

Critics attribute the unrest partly to Elon Musk's cost?cutting role in Trump's administration, while others point to declining sales and mounting competition. Analysts noted that beyond political rhetoric, Tesla's share price struggles are driven by lower production targets and weaker sales in key markets.
