Elon Musk’s Tesla facilities in ‘demolition’ protests of the American face

Tesla’s facilities in the United States face protests and vandalism in response to political role Elon Musk, owner of the automation manufacturer, has played in the Trump administration.

Most “Tesla Takedown” protests have been peaceful, but some have been destructive with intentionally established fires in Tesla exhibition rooms and cargo stations in Colorado and Massachusetts last week.

That was followed by six arrests in New York during the weekend when hundreds of protesters occupied a Tesla exhibition room.

There has also been an increase in Cybertruck vandalism in the United States, and some car owners are disfiguring their own teslas in protest of musk.

A woman appeared to a protest outside a bubank Tesla on Sunday with an improper and the name of musk scribbled in chalk through her white sedan model X. Another car carried a “anti elon tesla club” sticker.

The protests illustrate a growing concern on the influence of Musk on the United States government since President Donald Trump allowed him to create the Government Department of Efficiency of the Cost Reduction Task Force (Doge).

Until now, Dege has fired or offered purchases to about 100,000 federal employees and obtained access to confidential personal and financial information of millions of Americans.

Critics have resorted to calling the “President Musk” technological billionaire, arguing that he has too much power in the White House. Some in the protest in Burbank had signs that said “Deporting Elon” and “Boicottar Swasticar”, with protesters who tried to connect the car with fascism.

Tesla produced the essential electric cars for many Americans with progressive opinions, but several protesters said they regretted their purchase after Musk got involved with Trump and American politics.

Karen Rabwin, a protester in Burbank Tesla on Sunday, attended only two days after exchanging her tesla for a Cadillac. He had slapped a bumper sticker in his old vehicle that he said “he bought this car before we knew” in an evening reference to Musk, but felt that was not enough.

“It was shameful,” he said about driving Tesla. “It was not what I defended. How could that car drive? I have principles.”

Sheryl Crow singer donated her Tesla to National Public Radio last month. He published a video on Instagram stirring the car to the car while it was towed.

“There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align. Tesla so long,” Crow wrote.

Musk has responded to the protests by sharing a video in X, the social networks platform that it has, of a Cybertruck customer in Texas amazed with the vehicle’s complete self -control mode.

“He sincere all those who support Tesla, despite many attacks against our stores and offices,” Musk wrote.

The Social Network Platform has many publications of Tesla owners who show their electric cars. But now there are also videos that show an increasing trend of cybertrucks shattered with swastika, used as skate ramps or garbage covers.

During Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the spectators booed an orange cyberrtruck and threw it with accounts, calling the futuristic appearance vehicle a “deplory” or other hostile nicknames.

The protesters said Sunday that they want to demolish Telsa’s value because they are worried that Musk is damaging the economy and the country, and their efforts may be having an effect.

While the price of Tesla’s shares increased after Trump was chosen, with Musk by his side on the night of the elections in Florida, they have returned to pre -electoral levels after the violent reaction to Musk’s political participation.

Some on Sunday also expressed concern that the participation of the Musk government is benefiting their businesses.

Critics point out that Tech Entrepeneur companies have billions of dollars of contracts with the United States government, mainly with NASA and the Department of Defense, which are increasingly depending on Musk Spacex for satellite throws and space exploration.

Last week, the reports stated that the musk had tried that the Federal Aviation Administration cancel a contract of $ 2.4 billion with Verizon to renew the agency’s telecommunications system and grant it to Starlink, a company owned by Spacex.

Spacex denied that report, publishing in X that “Starlink is a possible partial solution for an aging system. There is no effort or intention for Starlink ‘to take charge’ of any existing contract.”

Some components are furious for the participation of Musk and the White House effort to reduce certain jobs and programs. Many have appeared in the Republican municipalities to protest the cuts and the growing influence of the technology billionaire.

The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and other Republican leaders urged the members of their party to stop organizing events in response, claiming without evidence that they were being interrupted by “professional protesters.”
