Summary
Anti-Musk protesters held widespread “Tesla Takedown” demonstrations at Tesla facilities across 253 cities worldwide on March 29, 2025.
Protesters are angered by Musk of leading efforts to dismantle federal agencies via the unofficial “DOGE” initiative.
Organizers encourage boycotting Tesla to hit Musk’s wealth and power. Protesters expressed concerns about democracy and Social Security cuts.
Tesla sales have slumped amid backlash, while Musk faces criticism for inciting harassment and ignoring calls to condemn protest-related violence.
The one I was at in St Louis had about 300 people, I was impressed!
And feds show up?
Not while I was there. We did get coal rolled, which I thought was ironic.
Edit: I stand corrected, looking though my pictures, looks like police at least were keeping a pretty close eye out. I didn’t see any interaction though.
Hah. Yeah the whole Tesla maga thing cracks me up. Maybe they could put gas generators in the bed of the cyber truck. Unmuffled, of course.
