The House DOGE subcommittee, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), is demanding a federal investigation into what she calls "organized attacks" on Elon Musk and Tesla. Greene has sent a formal request to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, citing incidents of vandalism, arson, and violence that she argues should be classified as domestic terrorism.

Key Details:

Greene and fellow House Republicans on the DOGE subcommittee have sent a letter to the DOJ and FBI, calling for an investigation into a "wave of organized attacks" against Tesla and Elon Musk.

The letter cites incidents such as a shooting at a Tesla dealership in Portland and vandalism in Colorado, with Greene claiming these acts are linked to Democrat-affiliated groups.

The subcommittee seeks to determine who is behind the attacks, whether NGOs are involved, and if any federal funding is indirectly supporting these actions.

Diving Deeper:

Greene took to X (formerly Twitter) to publicize the subcommittee's request, writing, "Who is behind it? Who is funding it? Is there a link with Democrat-leaning NGOs? We look forward to exposing these terrorists and bringing them to justice!" The letter, co-signed by Reps. Brian Jack (R-GA), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Michael Cloud (R-TX), William Timmons (R-SC), Brandon Gill (R-TX), and Pat Fallon (R-TX), details the committee's concerns over growing hostility toward Musk and his enterprises.

The subcommittee's concerns stem from Musk's role in curtailing government spending through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This move, Greene argues, has made him a target for left-wing activists opposed to fiscal restraint. Protesters have disrupted Tesla showrooms, defaced vehicles, and, in more extreme cases, resorted to violence.

A particularly troubling case mentioned in the letter involved a March 6 shooting at a Tesla dealership in Portland, Oregon, where gunfire shattered windows and damaged vehicles. While no injuries were reported, the incident raised alarms about escalating aggression. Another incident saw a woman spray paint "Nazi" on Tesla cars in Colorado, echoing the broader hostility Musk has faced since taking control of X and pushing back against left-wing influence in technology and media.

Greene and her colleagues are pressing federal authorities to answer several questions, including identifying those orchestrating and funding the attacks, potential connections to Democrat-linked NGOs, and whether federal tax dollars are being used to support these activities. "The American public deserves transparency and assurance that their tax dollars are not being used to fund domestic political terrorism," Greene wrote.

Here is what they're "protesting" to save: communists and violent anarchists and terrorism-supporters being paid hundreds of millions of dollars by exploited taxpayers.

A Columbia Professor Marched for Hamas--and Received Millions in Public Funding

Jennifer Manly has been associated with over $100 million in grants over the past 20 years.

Columbia University has been ground zero for the Ivy League's pro-Hamas demonstrators...

This student-led movement is also supported by some faculty. We have identified one Columbia professor, neuropsychologist Jennifer J. Manly, who participated in the pro-Hamas protests and stood in a human blockade intending to prevent administrators from dismantling the unauthorized encampments last April. In photos taken of the event, Manly is visible wearing an orange vest and standing with fellow Columbia professors as they marched for Gaza, in front of banners reading "Demilitarize education" and "Palestine is Everywhere"; others called for financial boycott and divestment from Israel.

Our research has revealed that Manly is not only employed by the university but also subsidized by the American taxpayer. According to the National Institutes of Health and other publicly accessible databases, she has been named in connection with over $100 million in grants over the past 20 years. Much of her research is based on the so-called social determinants of health thesis, which posits that racism, sexism, and homophobia can cause brain disease in "Black and Latinx communities"--a thesis that critics have described as pseudo-science. (Manly, Columbia, and NIH did not return requests for comment.)

Manly's appearance at a pro-Hamas rally, coupled with her activist academic research, raises serious questions about the medical establishment, which has directed large sums of taxpayer dollars to ideologues disguised as professors and to activism disguised as science. And it gives further grist to officials in the Trump administration, who have argued that funding cuts are necessary to disrupt the pipeline of left-wing radicals.

Manly's work routinely advances the idea that racism causes physical illness, such as Alzheimer's disease. She claimed in an interview last year that "we shouldn't blame people for their lifestyle choices in terms of their brain health." Rather, "systems of oppression" and "discriminatory beliefs" cause black people to suffer dementia at disproportionate rates. "Any biological differences are driven by . . . racism," Manly has said, later defining racism as "the pathway through which race is 'biologized.'" Her academic work reflects these views. One paper Manley coauthored blamed "historical patterns of segregation" for higher rates of dementia among blacks. Another paper blamed "structural sexism" for declining memory, with the effect found to be stronger among black women.

Manly's work is lavishly funded by taxpayers. Most recently, the National Institutes of Health gave her and her team nearly $700,000 to produce work linking racism to brain disease. As part of this grant, in January 2025, Manley and colleagues published an article implying that blacks living in states with "high lynching proportions" experienced higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a factor associated with greater risk of dementia. The authors claimed that "racism is associated with inflammation and dementia risk" because it "cumulatively taxes the body resulting in worsening biological and cognitive health." Another paper concluded that "racist U.S. policies" had an "influence on cognitive health over time and dementia risk later in life."
