‘Tesla Takedown’ protesters planning ‘biggest day of action’
- Tesla Takedown protesters are planning a 'biggest day of action' with 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms worldwide on March 29th.
- Protests initially started at a few Tesla locations in February, growing to hundreds of locations as people oppose Elon Musk's dismantling of federal government programs.
- There have been incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms, leading to allegations of 'domestic terrorism' by Musk and Trump administration officials.
- Organizers stress the peaceful nature of the movement, aiming to demonstrate at all 277 Tesla showrooms in the US and more worldwide.
- Speakers urged nonviolence and legal consultation for protesters, acknowledging potential legal challenges in conservative areas.
- The protests aim to impact Tesla's stock and force Musk to sell shares to repay debts, potentially affecting the company's future.
- Musk's wealth is tied to Tesla's stock, but his political influence may limit the impact of protests on him and the company.
- Despite Tesla's stock decline, Musk's control in the federal government raises questions about the effectiveness of market forces against him.
- Musk's perception of himself as a 'black hat hacker' living in a 'meme' reality complicates the opposition's strategy and demands clarity in their goals.
- Organizers plan to continue the protests until Tesla separates from Musk.
