Hackers who harbor animosity towards Elon Musk have exposed the personal information of Tesla owners in the United States by making public an interactive map displaying their full names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
The concerning platform, known as DOGEQUEST, not only discloses the whereabouts of each Tesla showroom and charging station but also reveals the documented addresses of Department of Government Efficiency personnel.
It even lists FBI Director Kash Patel’s home and uses a symbol of a Molotov cocktail as its cursor.Â
The individuals behind the website have declared that they will solely delete any identifying details linked to Tesla drivers if concrete evidence is presented demonstrating that they have sold their electric vehicle as part of a nationwide protest against the automaker.
It is unclear where the hacker got the information about the Tesla owners, but it has caused a lot of concern – with Musk labeling it ‘extreme domestic terrorism.’
‘Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!’ he wrote on X Tuesday night.
The website says it ‘neither endorses nor condemns any actions.’Â
‘If you’re on the hunt for a Tesla to unleash your artistic flair with a spray can, just step outside – no map needed,’ it reads. ‘At DOGEQUEST, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home.’

Under the heading ‘I want my information removed,’ the website says ‘Absolutely! Just provide us with proof that you’ve sold your Tesla.’
It also links to a website called the No Trace Project, which says it is ‘a collection of tools to help anarchists and other rebels understand the capabilities of their enemies, undermine surveillance efforts and ultimately act without getting caught.’Â
Some online have called for FBI Director Patel to act to take down the website and go after the cyber group behind it after President Donald Trump declared anyone enacting violence against Teslas and its dealerships would be labeled ‘domestic terrorists.’

The president’s remarks last week came amid fiery mass protests at showrooms across the world as leftists hit out at Musk for his efforts to slash government spending.
Last weekend, roughly 250 activists gathered outside a showroom in New York City, holding anti-Musk placards that read ‘Block Fascism Now and ‘Musk Must Go’ as they shouted ‘Elon Musk is not elected! Democracy must be protected!’ Â
Five protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct at the Manhattan demonstration and one was taken into custody for resisting arrest, obstruction and violation of local law, The New York Daily News reported.
There have also been more than a dozen acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations since Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to police and local reports.

In one instance, a New York City man said he watched as a man jumped out of his Subaru and defaced his Cybertruck with a swastika.Â
On Tuesday, an arsonist even used Molotov cocktails to fire bomb five Teslas before firing rounds into the burning vehicles at a dealership in Las Vegas.Â
Police said the unknown suspect, who was seen at the scene in all black, managed to completely burn out two of the cars while damaging three others.Â
Video from the incident shows large sparks flying from the hood of one of the vehicles, as strong flames and thick black smoke consume the vehicles.Â
Officers in Sin City also said that the word ‘resist’ had been painted on the door of the facility, with three gunshots also fired into the vehicles.Â

Leftists have hit out at Musk for his efforts to slash government spending
Those conducting the vandalism – as well as those who are more peacefully demonstrating at the dealerships – are hitting out at Musk for his efforts to fire thousands of federal workers, including veterans, in his plan to downsize the government.Â
Those efforts are also being targeted by federal judges – one of whom ordered the Trump administration to stop dismantling USAID.
Maryland District Judge Theodore Chuang granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday to block the administration from closing the agency, ruling that DOGE’s effort to shut it down likely violated the US Constitution.
He also ordered it be partially restored including some computer systems be reinstated and the agency be able to reoccupy its headquarters in Washington, DC.
US District Judge William Alsup, a Bill Clinton nominee, also previously required that the Trump administration rehire thousands of fired ‘probationary’ employees.

Amid the backlash, Tesla’s shares plummeted 53 percent since reaching a record high in December and its market value plunged by more than $800 billion during the same time period, according to Business Insider.
Four top executives at the company have even sold more than $100 million worth of shares since early February, ABC News reported on Tuesday.Â
As the company continues to spiral, Ross Gerber – one of Tesla’s early investors – called on Musk to step down as the head of the company.
‘I think Tesla needs a new CEO and I decided today I was going to start saying it, and so this is the first show that I’m saying it on,’ Gerber told host Darren McCaffrey on Sky’s Business Live on Tuesday.
‘It’s time for somebody to run Tesla,’ he continued, arguing that Musk has stretched himself too thin across his work at DOGE and at X.
‘There are too many important things Tesla’s doing, so either Elon should come back to Tesla and be the CEO of Tesla and give up his other jobs, or he should focus on the government and keep doing what he is doing, but find a suitable CEO of Tesla.’Â
He went on to say the DOGE chief ‘destroyed’ the electric vehicle maker’s reputation due to his work in the federal government.
‘The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk,’ he argued. ‘Sales are plummeting, so yeah, it’s a crisis.
‘You literally can’t sell the best product in the marketplace because the CEO is so divisive.’Â
