'Tesla Takedown' protesters planning 'biggest day of action'
Briefly

Organizers have called for significant protests at all Tesla showrooms and Supercharger stations on March 29th. The protests, which started in February, have expanded to hundreds of global locations due to backlash against CEO Elon Musk's federal government policies, including job cuts and program dismantling. Although some incidents of violence have occurred, organizers emphasize their fight against Musk's leadership rather than associating themselves with the terrorism rhetoric. Tesla's stock has suffered major losses amid this controversy, reflecting worries about the company's future performance amidst competition and sales issues.
Tesla protesters are planning their biggest day of action yet, aiming for 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms across the world on March 29th, organizers said during a mobilizing call Wednesday.
The protests started at a handful of Tesla locations in early February, and has grown to hundreds of locations across the world, as more people have come out to demonstrate against CEO Elon Musk's dismantling of the federal government.
Attorney General Pam Bondi promised severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.
Tesla's stock has lost nearly 40 percent of its value since the beginning of the year, as poor sales and rising competition in the US and overseas have fueled growing pessimism about the company's future.
