The Tesla Takedown movement is planning its largest day of action on March 29, with over 277 Tesla stores and Supercharger stations being targeted. The movement was created in response to Elon Musk’s increasingly political nature, his ties to President Trump, and his work with the Department of Government Efficiency. Critics of Musk have targeted Tesla due to the significant portion of his net worth being tied to the company. Unfortunately, protests against Tesla and Musk have turned violent, with arson attacks on Tesla stores and vehicles, as well as vandalism of Tesla owners’ vehicles.
During a mass call, key individuals including organizers, filmmakers, and members of Congress joined forces to call for a mass demonstration against Tesla on March 29. The movement is not a conspiracy, but rather individuals who want to hold Elon Musk accountable for his actions. Over 500 events are planned worldwide, with 277 Tesla stores expected to see demonstrations. The goal of the protests is to show Musk that despite his attempts to intimidate protestors, they will continue to exercise their First Amendment rights.
The movement has drawn criticism from President Trump, who has labeled the attacks on Tesla as domestic terrorism. Attorney General Pam Bondi has also vowed to catch and prosecute those responsible for the arson and vandalism. Despite the backlash, supporters of the movement, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, have called for nonviolent protests against Tesla. Crockett emphasized that the fight is for democracy, freedom, and First Amendment rights. Interestingly, Crockett shared that March 29 is her birthday and all she wants to see is Elon Musk being taken down.
The movement is calling for a global day of action against Tesla, with the hashtag #teslatakedown being used to rally supporters. The group has called Elon Musk and others involved with Tesla “techno-fascists, broligarchs, and old-fashioned Nazis”, stating that they will not be intimidated by attempts to silence their activism. They urge supporters to plan their own actions or find existing events to participate in. The movement aims to send a clear message to Tesla and Musk that their actions will not go unchallenged and that protestors will continue to fight back against what they see as dangerous and harmful behavior.
Despite the growing opposition, Musk and Tesla continue to face criticism from those who believe the company’s actions are harmful to the environment and society as a whole. The Tesla Takedown movement is just one example of the backlash the company has faced in recent years. Whether or not the movement will have a lasting impact on Tesla and Musk remains to be seen, but it is clear that there are many who feel strongly about holding the company and its leaders accountable for their actions. The upcoming day of action on March 29 will be a key moment for the movement and its supporters to make their voices heard.
