Global Protests Target Tesla Dealerships as Backlash Against Elon Musk Intensifies

Over the weekend, a coordinated wave of global protests hit Tesla showrooms worldwide as thousands rallied against Elon Musk’s growing political influence and alliance with Donald Trump. The demonstrations, held in over 200 locations from the U.S. to Europe, Australia, and beyond, formed the core of a grassroots campaign dubbed the “Tesla Takedown.”

At the heart of the movement is widespread opposition to Musk’s role as the self-appointed head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), an initiative aimed at slashing federal programs and dismantling U.S. agencies' moves that have ignited fears of a “hostile takeover” of the government.

Key Messages from Protesters


Organizers of the Tesla Takedown campaign urged supporters to take three direct actions:

  1. Don’t buy a Tesla

  2. Sell Tesla stock

  3. Join public demonstrations

“Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy,” read one of the movement’s core taglines.

From signs that read “Pinche Ladrón” to “Burn your swastikar before it burns you,” the protests had a unified message of resistance to authoritarianism, corporate overreach, and far-right political agendas.

Worldwide Reach, Local Flair



  • Australia & New Zealand: Protesters kicked off the global wave in the southern hemisphere.

  • Europe: Demonstrations spanned Finland, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland, each rally showcasing localized messages such as “Down with Doge” and “Smash the Fash.”

  • United States: With protests in all 50 states, showrooms in San Francisco, Austin, New York City, and Washington D.C. drew large, vocal crowds.

  • Canada & UK: Protests also took place at showrooms in Toronto, Vancouver, and London, calling out Musk’s policies and Tesla’s perceived complicity.

Nonviolent Protests vs. Rising Vandalism

While Tesla Takedown organizers have stressed their commitment to nonviolence, recent acts of vandalism across the U.S. and Europe have added a layer of urgency to the situation:

  • Molotov cocktails, graffiti, and gunshots have damaged Tesla dealerships and vehicles.

  • In Brooklyn, a Cybertruck was defaced with the word “Nazis” and a swastika.

  • Trump has vowed to classify violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism.

Tesla Takedown Response: “We are a non-violent grassroots protest movement. Peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism.”

The case of Jeffrey Epstein remains one of the most consequential and disturbing intersections of wealth, influence, and systemic failure in modern history. Beyond its high-profile nature and the tragic exploitation of countless victims, the Epstein saga presents an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate critical vulnerabilities across security, intelligence, executive protection (EP), and institutional governance.
