Global Protests Target Elon Musk Over Political Influence and Tesla's Struggles

The 'Tesla Takedown' movement organized peaceful demonstrations worldwide on March 29, 2025, as criticism of Musk's power and Tesla's declining fortunes intensifies.

The 'Tesla Takedown' movement held over 500 protests globally, including in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, calling for Elon Musk's resignation and accountability.
Protesters criticized Musk's political influence, wealth, and alignment with Donald Trump, accusing him of threatening democracy and fostering authoritarianism.
While the demonstrations remained peaceful, they occurred against a backdrop of violent attacks on Tesla facilities, which the U.S. government has classified as domestic terrorism.
Tesla's stock has dropped 40% in 2025, and European sales have declined by nearly 50%, though no direct link to the protests has been established.
Musk has vowed to take action against critics, labeling them as propagandists and promising consequences for those spreading misinformation.
