MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Will Europol support Member States and third countries in the fight against terrorist groups that target certain companies and their customers? – E-001418/2025

Question for written answer  E-001418/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Catherine Griset (PfE)

In order to strike at the financial interests of Elon Musk, far-left groups in the United States have set up an anonymous website that publishes the personal data of Tesla owners (names, addresses and telephone numbers)[1].

These same individuals also blew up a Tesla in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas and regularly set fire to charging stations and vehicles of this brand in the United States.

The US Attorney General, Pam Bondi, did not hesitate to describe these criminal acts as ‘domestic terrorism’[2].

This violence is now spreading across Europe, particularly in Member States whose governments are highly indulgent of violent far-left groups. In France, in particular, a Tesla dealership near Toulouse and Tesla vehicles in Niort have been set on fire. The French headquarters of the manufacturer has also been vandalised in recent days.

• 1.Is the Commission aware of attacks against this company and its customers in other Member States?
• 2.Can Europol, as part of its mission to support Member States and third countries against terrorism, provide assistance in stopping these violent groups?
