US EditionProtesters stage 200+ 'Tesla Takedown' demonstrations globally
- On Saturday, March 29, 2025, crowds protested Elon Musk's involvement in purging the U.S. Government under President Donald Trump outside Tesla dealerships in multiple states, including New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Minnesota, and Texas, as well as in Berlin and London.
- The protests are driven by opposition to Musk's role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency and his attempts to slash government spending, escalating a movement targeting Tesla dealerships and vehicles.
- Organized by Tesla Takedown, the protests involved disillusioned Tesla owners, celebrities like John Cusack, and Democratic lawmaker Rep. Jasmine Crockett, with crowds ranging from a few dozen to hundreds, and included a London protest where a sign compared Musk to Adolf Hitler.
- During a Tesla Takedown organizing call, Rep. Jasmine Crockett stated, "they're going to keep screaming in the halls of Congress" and "they need everyone to keep screaming in the streets," while Cam Whitten said, "We just want to get loud, make noise, make people aware of the problems that we're facing."
- The protests aimed to deepen a recent decline in Tesla's sales, contributing to the evaporation of gains in Tesla's stock since Trump's election, and prompting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to decry acts of vandalism, including a fire that destroyed seven Tesla vehicles in Germany, as domestic terrorism, while Tesla Takedown supporters stressed the importance of peaceful protests.
