Tesla charging stations have been set on fire in the US state of Massachusetts as a backlash against Elon Musk grows.

People have been protesting against his close ties to Donald Trump and embrace of far-right politicians around the world.

Officers and firefighters rushed to The Point Shopping Center near Boston and found the charging stations "engulfed in flames and heavy, dark smoke".

Police said seven charging stations were damaged and the "fire appears to have been intentionally set", but no injuries were reported.

Musk, the billionaire chief executive of Tesla, now heads up the president's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Mr Musk has overseen the firing of thousands of government employees in recent weeks.

The world's richest man and his companies have been targeted since he made what looked like a Nazi salute at Mr Trump's inauguration, with analysts saying Tesla's car sales have fallen.

Haters gonna hate. 

Meanwhile I bought some TSLA shares here. Good spot to buy some, as well the regular folk on the streets are a contrary indicator. When they start talking like that more frequently the bottom is close. 

If you can buy some for you here because when the Ukraine war finish this should get a nice move higher.

Pleased if you make money.

The bigger picture is Trump will not make US 'great again'.  The in fighting, factionalism, both in geo politics and within domestic US politics is straight out of the KGB playbook. From election interference to sabotaging critical infrastructure, Russia’s hybrid warfare strategy is increasingly sowing chaos.  Kremlin has 'kompromat' on Trump, and he is dancing to their tune.

Panama President Jose Raul Mulino has accused his American counterpart, Donald Trump, of lying when he told members of Congress that the United States is “reclaiming” the Panama Canal.

In a statement posted on X on Wednesday, Mulino said the man-made waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans “is not in the process of recovery” by Trump and the US government.

“Once again, President Trump is lying,” Mulino wrote on X.

“I reject, on behalf of Panama and all Panamanians, this new affront to the truth and to our dignity as a nation,” Mulino added.
