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

Most Tesla Takedown protests were peaceful, but several were destructive with fires deliberately set fire to Tesla showrooms and the charging stations in Colorado and Massachusetts last week.

This was followed by six arrests in New York over the weekend when hundreds of protesters occupied a Tesla showroom.

There was also a jump in Cybertruck Vandalism in the United States, and some car owners defile their own Teslas in protest of Musk.

A woman protested in front of Burbank Tesla on Sunday with an exploited name and Musk’s name killed in chalk through her Selan White Model X. Another car wore an “Anti Elon Tesla Club” sticker.

The protests illustrate the growing concern about Musk’s influence on the US government after President Donald Trump allowed him to set up the Government Efficiency Division of the Working Group (Doge).

So far, Dodge has fired or offered the purchase of about 100,000 federal employees and has gained access to the sensitive personal and financial information of millions of Americans.

Critics are resorting to call President Musk technological billionaire, claiming that he has too much power in the White House. Some of the protest in Burbank conducted signs that said “deportation of the Elon” and “Boykot Swastik” – as protesters are trying to connect the car to fascism.

Tesla produces mandatory electric cars for many Americans with progressive views, but several protesters said they regret their purchase after Musk joined the Trump and the United States policy.

Karen Rabvin, a protester in Bourbank Tesla on Sunday, is only present two days after trading in his Tesla for Cadillac. She had hit an armor sticker on her old vehicle, which reads “bought this car before we knew” in a veiled reference to Musk, but she thought it wasn’t enough.

“It was disturbing,” she said about Tesla’s driving. “It wasn’t what I was standing for. How can I drive this car? I have principles.”

Singer Cheryl Crowe donated her Tesla to National Public Radio last month. She posted a video on Instagram, waving goodbye to the car while it was towed.

“There is a time when you have to decide with whom you are willing to come up with. Tesla for such a long,” G -Krav wrote.

Musk responded to the protests by sharing a video of the X – the social media platform he possesses – to a Cybertruck client in Texas, who wonders in the full mode of self -driving.

“Thanks to anyone who supports Tesla, despite many attacks on our stores and offices,” Musk writes.

The social media platform has many publications from Tesla owners showing their electric cars. But now there are also videos showing a growing trend of cybera, vandalized with swastika, used as a skate ramps or covered with garbage.

During Mardi Grass in New Orleans, viewers ran an orange cyberook and tilted him with beads, calling the futuristic looking Delyvo vehicle or other unfriendly managers.

Protesters on Sunday said they wanted to lower the value of TELSA because they were concerned that Musk damages the economy and the country – and their efforts could have an effect.

As the price of Tesla’s shares rises after Trump was elected – with Musk on his part on an election night in Florida – they returned to the levels of before the election after the retreat to Musk’s political participation.

Some on Sunday also expressed fears that the participation of the Musk government was taking advantage of his business.

Critics note that Tech Entripeneur companies have billions of dollars contracts with the US government, mainly with NASA and the Ministry of Defense, which are increasingly relying on Musk’s SpaceX for satellite launches and space survey.

Last week, he reported that the musk had tried to get the Federal Aviation Administration to cancel a $ 2.4 billion contract with Verizon to renew the agency’s telecommunications system and award it to Starlink, a SpaceX -owned company instead.

SpaceX denied this report by posting to X that “Starlink is a partial solution for the aging system. There is no effort or intent Starlink to “take” every existing contract. “

Some voters are furious with Musk’s involvement and the White House efforts to reduce certain jobs and programs. Many have appeared in Republican mayoralties to protest the redundancies and the growing influence of the technological billionaire.

House chairman Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders called on members of their party to stop holding events in response, claiming that they were violated by “professional protesters”.
