A group of hackers targeting Elon Musk has leaked the personal data of Tesla owners across the United States. The interactive website, known as DOGEQUEST, exposes the names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails of Tesla drivers.
Per Daily Mail, it also reveals the locations of Tesla showrooms, charging stations, and even the residences of Department of Government Efficiency employees. One of the most alarming aspects of the site is its listing of FBI Director Kash Patel’s home, coupled with a Molotov cocktail icon as its cursor.
The site’s operators claim they will only remove personal data if Tesla owners provide proof they have sold their vehicles in response to a nationwide boycott. The source of the leaked information remains unknown, but the breach has raised significant concerns.
Musk denounced the incident, calling it “extreme domestic terrorism.” Despite this, DOGEQUEST states it does not explicitly encourage or condemn any actions. However, it promotes “artistic protest” against Tesla.
The controversy comes as Tesla faces increased hostility, with violent protests erupting globally. In New York City, 250 demonstrators gathered outside a Tesla showroom, holding anti-Musk signs and chanting against his political influence. According to The New York Daily News, five were arrested for disorderly conduct, while another faced charges for resisting arrest.
Incidents of vandalism against Tesla vehicles have also surged. In Las Vegas, an arsonist firebombed five Teslas with Molotov cocktails before shooting at the burning cars. Meanwhile, in New York, a Cybertruck was defaced with a swastika.
The backlash against Musk stems from his aggressive efforts to downsize the government by firing thousands of federal workers, including veterans. Musk’s involvement in politics remains highly divisive, further drawing Tesla into the ongoing political controversy surrounding his decisions
