Global Protests Target Tesla Amid Musk Controversies

A wave of protests under the banner 'Tesla Takedown' has emerged across the United States and internationally, targeting Tesla properties and CEO Elon Musk in response to alleged negative impacts of his policies on democracy and the environment. In cities like Tallahassee and Berlin, demonstrators have gathered to voice their concerns about Musk's leadership and the policies of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which critics say threaten essential public programs. While some protests have remained peaceful, there have been reports of more aggressive actions, including firebombing attempts at Tesla locations. Tesla owners have expressed confusion and concern over the protests, asserting that their ownership does not align with the political motivations of the demonstrators. Organizers emphasize their goal of removing Musk from leadership, with plans for continued demonstrations in targeted areas to engage undecided voters. The protests have sparked significant political debate, reflecting broader tensions around wealth, power, and governance in America.
