Tesla facilities from Elon Musk in the United States face “removal” protests

Tesla facilities throughout the United States face protests and sabotage in response to the political role Elon Musk, who owns the car manufacturer, played in the Trump administration.

Most of the “Tesla Taketedown” protests were peaceful, but a few of them were destructive fires that were deliberately placed in Tesla showrooms and charging stations in Colorado and Massachusetts last week.

This was followed by six arrests in New York during the weekend when hundreds of demonstrators occupied the Tesla showroom.

There was also a rise in destroyer sabotage all over the United States, and some car owners distort them in protest against musk.

One of the women appeared on a protest outside the Burbank Tesla on Sunday bearing a obscene word and the name of musk in the chalk across its white master X. Another car carried a “Anti Elon Tesla Club”.

The protests show a growing discomfort over the impact of Musk on the US government since President Donald Trump allowed him to establish the government efficiency section of the cost -cost team (DOGE).

So far, Dogs launched the acquisitions and offered about 100,000 federal employees and obtained access to personal and financial information for millions of Americans.

Critics have resorted to describing the billionaire as “President Musk” technology, on the pretext that he had a lot of strength in the White House. Some people protested in Borbank with signs that say “Illon’s deportation” and “Sweikstar Province” – with demonstrators attempts to tie the car with fascism.

Tesla produced electric cars that should be for many Americans who have progressive views, but many demonstrators said they regretted their purchase after Musk himself participated with Trump and American policy.

Karen Rabwin, a demonstrator in Borbank Tesla on Sunday, came just two days after trading in Tesla for Cadillac. She had slapped a sticker on her old car, which “bought this car before we knew” in a veiled sign of Musk, but she felt this was not enough.

“It was embarrassing,” she said. “It wasn’t what I stopped. How can I drive that car? I have principles.”

The singer Sherrill Crowe Betsla donated to the National Public Radio last month. I posted a video to Instagram, which is farewell to the car, as it was pulled away.

“There is a time when you must decide who you are ready to agree with him.

Musk responded to the protests by sharing a video on the X – the social media platform he has – for the Cyberrtruck customer in Texas, admires the complete self -driving mode of the vehicle.

Musa wrote: “Thank you very much to everyone who supports Tesla, despite many attacks against our stores and offices,” Mousse wrote.

The social media platform contains many publications for Tesla owners who display their electric cars. But there are now videos showing an increasing trend of electronic inflorescences controlled by the swastic cross, and are used as skiing slopes or covered in garbage.

During Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the spectators formulated the orange and put it in the beads, describing the future car appearance as “DePLORAN” or other cordial title.

The demonstrators said on Sunday that they want to bring down the value of Telsa because they are concerned that Mr. Musk is harmful to the economy and the country – and their efforts may have an impact.

While the price of Tesla’s share increased after Trump’s election – with Musk next to him on the election night in Florida – he returned to pre -election levels after a response to the political participation of musk.

On Sunday, some also raised fears that the participation of the Musk government benefits from its work.

Critics note that the technology businessman companies have billions of dollars in contracts with the US government, primarily with NASA and the Ministry of Defense, which are increasingly dependent on Musk’s Spacex for satellite and space exploration.

Last week, reports claimed that Musk tried to obtain the federal aviation administration to cancel a $ 2.4 billion contract with Verizon to renew the agency’s communication system and give it to Starlink, a company owned by SPACEX, instead.

Spacex denied this report, which was published on X that “Starlink is a possible partial solution to the aging system. There is no effort or intention for Starlink” to control “any existing contract.”

Some voters are angry at the participation of Musk and the White House effort to reduce some jobs and programs. Many appeared in the city’s republican halls to protest the discounts and the growing effect of billionaire.

Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders urged members of their party to stop hosting events in response, on the pretext without evidence of their disruption by “professional demonstrators”.
