US EditionHirsch: Protest slated in Glenwood
- Across the U.S. And Europe, protests, dubbed "Tesla Takedown", took place at Tesla dealerships on Saturday, March 29, 2025, targeting Elon Musk's involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
- These protests stemmed from growing backlash against Musk's political role, particularly his leadership of DOGE and its initiation of significant workforce reductions, terminating over 200,000 federal employees, as well as concerns about his influence on government spending and democratic norms.
- Demonstrations involved protesters chanting slogans such as "Musk is a Nazi" and demanding Musk's imprisonment, while also aiming to impact Tesla's sales by encouraging individuals to sell their Tesla vehicles and stock, with some isolated incidents of vandalism reported.
- Statements from Indivisible confirmed their members were behind the protests, which were also supported by groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and Troublemakers, while counterprotests, sometimes dubbed 'Tesla Shield', were smaller and included MAGA supporters and, in some locations, far-right extremists, including the Proud Boys and individuals dressed as Hitler, who voiced support for Musk and his DOGE initiatives, such as "We're out here to show support for DOGE, Elon Musk, Tesla, and this administration."
- Following the protests, Tesla's stock fell sharply this week, with shares down roughly 4 percent in premarket trading Monday and 35 percent so far in 2025, signaling a potential decline from its peak, although Musk remains optimistic about Tesla's future prospects, predicting over 10 million cars sold worldwide next year and stating that "It's costing me a lot to be in this job.
