apr 19, 2025 - Colorado Man Declares 'War' On Trump/Musk

Description:

Federal authorities arrested a 58-year-old Colorado Springs man after unravelling the origin of a "Declaration Of War" that threatened harm or death to Elon Musk, owners of his Tesla vehicles, and members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet.

Carl Howard Payne was taken into custody Tuesday and a search warrant was executed on his residence in the 5300 block of Picket Drive.

Emails were sent March 20th to media outlets which declared war on the 47th Presidential Cabinet through "killings" of "owners, drivers, and occupants of Tesla Swasticars," as shown in Payne's federal arrest affidavit. Specific methods of attack were listed, as were numerous complaints against the president himself. But the stated goal of the alleged operation was Musk's elimination.
