A leftist pro-Ukraine war activist set himself on fire while attempting to protest against Elon Musk and President Donald Trump by torching a Tesla electric vehicle charging station.
The masked weakling first used spray paint to vandalize the charging station in North Charleston, South Carolina.
In an apparent attempt to protest against the president’s efforts to secure peace between Ukraine and Russia, which Tesla boss Musk supports, the radical activist spray-painted a vulgar anti-Trump message.
However, his tough-guy antics soon backfired when he tried to bomb the charging station with Molotov cocktails.
The Post and Courier reports that the masked Trump-hater ended up red-faced when he set himself ablaze during the attack.
The incident took place near a Mellow Mushroom pizzeria at 4855 Tanger Outlet Blvd.
The bizarre attack has left the community both stunned and baffled as authorities search for answers.
According to witnesses, the masked individual, wearing a gray jacket or hoodie, spray-painted the message near the bank of Tesla charging stations.
The expletive-filled message targeted Trump’s efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
He then proceeded with his ill-fated attempt to destroy the electric vehicle chargers.
The man reportedly used beer bottles as makeshift Molotov cocktails.
He set them on fire and hurled them at three charging stations.
However, the man inadvertently set himself on fire during the attack.
Witnesses reported flames spreading across his back.
As onlookers began calling 911, the masked individual fled the scene while apparently still on fire.
He ran past a nearby Zaxby’s restaurant and toward the hotels behind it.
The North Charleston police department has not yet identified or arrested the suspect.
However, the incident has resulted in an estimated $60,000 in damages to the Tesla charging infrastructure.
Officials said in a statement that police “cut the power to the three charging stations that were burned by the homemade Molotov Cocktails.”
This incident appears to be part of a growing trend of vandalism and crime targeting Trump, Tesla, and Musk, the electric carmaker’s CEO.
The investigation into the North Charleston incident has now been taken over by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
North Charleston police department spokesman Harve Jacobs confirmed that the suspect would be facing serious charges.
Authorities are working to identify the suspect and determine the full extent of the damage caused by the vandalism and fire.
It’s unclear what condition the suspect is in after setting himself on fire.
