Website listing names, addresses of Tesla owners taken offline

A website doxxing Tesla owners that Elon Musk has likened to an act of terror appears to have been scrubbed from the internet.

The site, which seems to have been active until Tuesday, reportedly claimed to list the names, addresses and phone numbers of every Tesla owner in the United States.

The electric vehicle brand has been targeted by activists worldwide who take issue with its owner’s increasingly growing influence on politics at home and abroad.

According to the Daily Beast, the “Dogequest” site included a map identifying people who bought Musk’s vehicles, as well as giving the locations of Tesla dealerships and charging stations across the country.

People who wished to have their information removed from the site were reportedly asked to submit proof they’d gotten rid of their Tesla.

Dogequest also reportedly listed personal information about workers affiliated with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is headed by Musk. The organization has become wildly polarizing over its attempts to cut government services and take federal employees off the nation’s payroll.

The accuracy of the Dogequest site’s information is unclear.

Tesla owners have reported been getting rid of their vehicles or disguising them to appear as another make of car to avoid being associated with Musk’s right-wing influence, which extends beyond the U.S.

His support for a far-right German political party and a hand gesture he made resembling a Nazi salute at a Trump inauguration event were followed by posters popping up in London calling Teslas the “Swasticar.”

Teslas have reportedly been lit on fire in Germany and Ireland. In the U.S., Tesla dealerships in Colorado and Oregon experienced Molotov cocktail attacks. In Las Vegas, cars were set ablaze at a Tesla service station on Tuesday.

Musk, who donated nearly $300 million to put President Trump and his political allies in office in the 2024 election, wrote on his social media platform X that “encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!”

During a White House event to help the political mega-donor sell cars, President Trump warned that anyone caught damaging Musk’s products would “go through Hell.

The website claimed it “neither endorses nor condemns” the way people might use the information it provided, while using a Molotov cocktail as a cursor.

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim.
