Protesters Plan Global Tesla Takedown on March 29

Protests against Elon Musk and his role in the newly created Department of Government Efficiency have intensified, with organizers planning a significant global event on March 29, expecting 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms worldwide. The 'Tesla Takedown' protests, which began in February, have been fueled by Musk's controversial decisions to cut federal jobs and aid programs, prompting backlash from various community members including actors and federal workers. While many protests have remained peaceful, incidents of violence, vandalism, and arson at Tesla locations have drawn condemnation from both Musk and the Trump administration, labeling such acts as 'domestic terrorism.' In response to these tensions, the White House has expressed support for Musk while promising to investigate violent incidents related to the protests. The protests aim to impact Tesla's sales and stock value, which has already seen a significant decline this year. Protests have been reported in cities including Norfolk, Austin, and Boston, where demonstrators are urging boycotts of the company.
