Overview
- The Tesla Takedown movement has organized its largest day of action for March 29, with over 200 protests planned globally, including 32 international locations.
- Protesters oppose Elon Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency, citing federal workforce cuts, privatization, and perceived conflicts of interest with Tesla's government funding.
- Tesla's stock has dropped nearly 50% since December 2024, with sales and brand perception declining sharply due to backlash against Musk's political alignment and leadership.
- Federal authorities have intensified their response to vandalism and arson targeting Tesla facilities, labeling the acts as domestic terrorism and arresting multiple suspects.
- Tesla Takedown organizers emphasize their commitment to nonviolence, distancing themselves from recent attacks on Tesla properties while continuing to rally public support through social media.
