Protesters gathered outside the Tesla showroom in Manhattan as part of the “Tesla Takedown” movement to denounce CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the federal government. They claim Tesla is a toxic brand that fueled Musk’s wealth. Many protesters targeted Tesla as a way to pressure Musk financially. The push against Tesla has affected its stock price, which has decreased in recent months.
Despite peaceful protests, there have been multiple cases of vandalism and arson of Tesla vehicles, leading to federal charges against three individuals. The FBI has warned the public to be vigilant around Tesla dealerships. Some Tesla owners have reported being targeted, harassed, and even receiving death threats due to Musk’s association with President Donald Trump.
Dr. Kumait Jaroje, a Tesla owner, has faced death threats and had to move his cars for safety. Despite the controversy, Jaroje believes that Musk is trying to do something good by saving the government and cutting waste. Windome Pendergrass, a speaker at the protest, expressed concern that Musk’s actions could result in Americans losing critical funding and resources. She called for action to stand up against Musk’s influence and build a more inclusive America. The protest reflects growing discontent with Musk’s role in politics and its impact on Tesla and the public.
