As protests against Elon Musk’s Tesla brand are sweeping the United States, one California man’s sense of security is left shaken after a masked suspect was caught on camera defacing his family’s Tesla Cybertruck in the driveway of their home last weekend.
Jason Bedell, a 51-year-old working in property management, awoke to shattered glass after what seemed to be a attack turned his Cybertruck into the latest symbol of anti-Musk rhetoric sweeping the country.
“I have a 4-year-old son that was sleeping in the house at the time,” Bedell said. “So, it’s really unsettling that somebody came to my house to do this.”
Tesla did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Bedell is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the Cybertruck vandal’s arrest, a move he hopes will deter future offenders and show solidarity in his California community as he is left feeling “violated.”
“I don’t know if they’re going to come back. I don’t know what they’re going to do,” Bedell told Fox News Digital. “This person is dangerous. I’m sure I’m not the first person, and I’m not going to be the last person [they are] going to do it to. I am set on getting this person caught and making an example out of this person.”
