Massive demonstrations target Tesla dealerships and vehicles across the US and Europe, aimed at pressuring Elon Musk over his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its impact on government transparency and accountability.
Protests erupted against Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Saturday, targeting his company's dealerships across the United States and Europe. The demonstrations, organized by a group called Tesla Takedown, aim to pressure Musk due to his controversial role heading the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), a White House advisory panel.
Musk, who is also the world's richest man, has gained access to sensitive government data through DOGE and has closed multiple agencies, citing government spending reductions. Protesters argue that Musk's actions threaten government transparency and accountability.The protests, which marked the first coordinated effort to surround all of Tesla's 277 U.S. showrooms and service centers, drew crowds ranging from a few dozen to hundreds. Demonstrators brandished signs with slogans like 'Honk if you hate Elon' and 'Fight the billionaire broligarchy,' chanting slogans against Musk and his policies. The demonstrations spread throughout the country, reaching major cities like Washington, Chicago, and Seattle, as well as smaller towns in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. Protests also took place in various European cities, including London. While the turnout in Europe was smaller, the anti-Musk sentiment mirrored that in the U.S. Protesters voiced concerns about Musk's influence on government policy and his business practices. Tesla Takedown organizers, which include disillusioned Tesla owners, celebrities like actor John Cusack, and Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jasmine Crockett, emphasize the importance of peaceful protests. However, there have been reports of vandalism and arson targeting Tesla vehicles, acts condemned as domestic terrorism by U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi.
