A 28-year-old man was arrested for planning an attack at Tesla's delivery event in Austin.
He is believed to hate technology and had previously threatened Tesla on Instagram.
After his arrest, he said: "I was going to shoot up Elon Musk and the plant," local news reported.

A Florida man was arrested this week after he was alleged to have planned a "mass casualty event" at Tesla's Cybertruck promotional event on Thursday.
