Global Protests Erupt Against Tesla Over Musk's Political Involvement

Elon Musk is facing significant backlash as protests against him and Tesla erupt worldwide, fueled by his political affiliations and recent actions in the U.S. His support for far-right parties has sparked demonstrations in cities like Lisbon, where activists gathered outside a Tesla showroom, as well as across the U.S. in events labeled 'Tesla Takedowns.' Protesters are voicing concerns over Musk's influence on environmental and labor policies, with some protests escalating to vandalism and arson at Tesla locations. Reports indicate that Tesla's sales in Europe are declining amid these protests, and Musk's political ties are raising fears about long-term impacts on the political landscape in countries like Portugal. As the protests grow, Musk has condemned vandalism while activists continue to call for boycotts and a reevaluation of Tesla ownership.
