Across America, numerous peaceful protests and some vandalism directed against Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk have emerged. Activists are urging potential buyers to reconsider purchasing Tesla vehicles, labeling them as symbols of societal issues like white supremacy and violence. The protests also critique Musk's influence in reducing government employees and perpetuating harmful automotive dependency. While these demonstrations center on Musk, they reflect broader frustrations about America's car-dominated transportation system and the political implications of Musk's actions during the Trump administration.
Since mid-February, peaceful protests have erupted at Tesla dealerships across the country, with activists warning potential shoppers not to buy the 'all new Tesla model SS'.
Organizers of the Tesla Takedown protest in Delray Beach recently referred to Elon Musk's 'products' as 'symbols of unironic Nazism, white supremacy and violence against immigrants.'
Other less-peaceful protestors vandalized Cybertrucks with swastikas and torched Tesla chargers in protest of Musk's destructive role in the second Trump administration.
Activists are more likely to reference Musk's role in attempting to axe roughly 100,000 federal employees, rather than his role in attempting to axe public transportation systems.
