Tesla Takedown: Global Protests Erupt Against Elon Musk's Controversial Government Role!
by Amy Ivanov in PoliticsHundreds of "Tesla Takedown" demonstrations are taking place across the US, Canada, and Europe, fueled by opposition to Elon Musk's policies as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk's efforts to slash government spending and downsize the workforce, coupled with accusations of misleading the public, have sparked outrage. Over 200 demonstrations targeted US Tesla locations, calling for a global day of action with 500 protests worldwide. Activists urge people to sell their Tesla vehicles and stock to denounce Musk. Protests involved dance parties and carried anti-Musk signs. Concerns include cuts to federal agencies like the United States Institute of Peace and the Internal Revenue Service, impacting federal workers and research funding. The protests are largely non-violent, but Tesla has faced escalating vandalism, including arson and gunfire, leading to the FBI forming a task force to investigate anti-Tesla attacks. Musk claims his government role is hurting his companies, citing the negative impact of vandalism on Tesla's revenue and stock price, which has fallen 45% since December 17.
