The Tesla Takedown movement is rapidly gaining traction, urging people to sell their Teslas, divest from the company’s stock, and join global protests against Elon Musk. The movement, which has been gaining momentum in recent months, aims to draw attention to Musk’s controversial political actions, urging a collective response. Although the group opposes violence, it calls for peaceful demonstrations as a way to challenge Musk’s influence on federal policies.
According to the Tesla Takedown movement’s website, March 29 has been designated as a "global day of action." Protests are expected to take place in over 30 U.S. states, with activists planning to hold demonstrations against Musk's growing political influence. The protests are also set to extend internationally, with events scheduled across the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and other locations. These protests are expected to be the largest yet, further fueling the movement’s rise in prominence.
One of the driving forces behind the Tesla Takedown movement has been the significant decline in Tesla’s stock price. Since December, Tesla’s stock has lost nearly 50% of its value, adding economic fuel to the protests. In response to Musk’s actions, some Tesla dealerships have been targeted in acts of vandalism, which activists attribute to the backlash against Musk’s political influence and his involvement with cryptocurrency, particularly Dogecoin (DOGE).
Authorities are currently investigating several incidents of vandalism at Tesla dealerships across the country. While the movement itself calls for peaceful protests, the destruction of property has become a point of contention. In defence of Musk, figures from the Trump administration, including Pam Bondi and Howard Lutnick, have stepped forward, condemning the violent actions and advocating for support of Tesla amidst the stock decline.
Despite the protests and criticism, the Trump administration has urged Americans to consider buying Tesla stock, viewing the drop in value as an opportunity to invest in a company they consider pivotal to the future of electric vehicles and clean energy.
As the global protests approach, it remains unclear what impact the Tesla Takedown movement will have on Musk’s empire. However, with widespread demonstrations planned and the backing of a significant portion of the activist community, this movement has already begun to shape the ongoing debate around Musk’s influence on both the tech and political landscapes.
