Protesters were seen outside Tesla showrooms in various cities over the weekend in opposition to CEO Elon Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The protests were spurred on as part of the “Tesla Takedown” movement, which launched demonstrations in cities like D.C., Boston, and others throughout the country. The group’s reported aim is to “encourage investors to divest in Tesla stock and charging electric vehicle owners to ditch the brand,” per the Hill.
On its website, the group calls upon Americans to “take action at Tesla showrooms everywhere.”
“Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines,” it says. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us—not politicians, not the media.”
