The Department of Justice has charged a self-identified “queer scientist” in the firebombings of a Tesla dealership and the Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque.
Jamison Wagner, 40, is accused of setting fire to multiple cars at a Tesla dealership on February 9 and vandalizing the facility with graffiti, including the words “Die Elon,” according to a federal complaint. Wagner struck again the following month, prosecutors allege, setting fire to the Republican Party office in Albuquerque and painting the phrase “ICE=KKK” on the building.
