In recent hours, a website claiming to disclose personal data of Tesla owners went viral, shortly after the Administration vowed to take action against "domestic terrorists" who attack cars or facilities of Elon Musk's company.

Called Dogequest, the site contained a map with names, addresses, phone numbers and emails that it claimed belonged to owners of the electric automaker, as first reported by the specialized media 404. According to it, the creators of the page claimed that they would only remove the data of those individuals who proved they had sold their Tesla.

Also visible were the locations of company dealerships and chargers, as well as information about employees of the government office headed by Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The accuracy of the data has not been confirmed. Nor was the dissemination of the data linked to any attack. The site appears to be down, although images of the map continue to circulate on social networks. The creators, moreover, urged those browsing their site to copy their data. According to The New York Post, the cursor simulated a Molotov cocktail.

"Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!," Musk wrote on X in response to a comment on Dogequest.

"We certainly think it's despicable the violence that is taking place against Tesla, the company, its employees, and also just Americans who have chosen to drive an electric vehicle," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said when asked about the site.

She also called on Democrats to step forward and condemn the vandalism: "Democrats were big supporters of Tesla and of electric vehicles until Elon Musk decided to vote for Donald Trump."

Days earlier, Attorney General Pam Bondi assured that arrests were coming for the attacks on dealerships, cars and charging stations. "You better watch out because we’re coming after you," she warned. Donald Trump also vowed to "catch" the perpetrators and in a show of support for the company promised to buy a Tesla.
