I participated in one at a Tesla charging station in NH yesterday. It really helped to see how much support we got from passersby. Including some of the people charging their Teslas 😆🤭
Went to one in Austin Texas large crowd good vibes only three incidents of being given the finger by passing motorists. Some look forward and ignore the protests.. but by a large majority honking support, waving and thumbs up. It was great to see Alex Jones cut and run like a coward too....
What do we do if we’ve owned a Tesla since well before Elon publicly lost his mind? I’m not in a position to buy another car right now but I hate the idea of supporting, or signaling that I support this (probably not new) version of Musk. I feel stuck.
That’s a tough position. I personally wouldn’t judge anyone for not being able to make such a big financial move. Get yourself one of those stickers. I saw plenty yesterday.
Temporarily deface your own car with easily removable magnets. This is your fight, your government, but our environment. Personally, may I suggest some Canadian flags. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Is your car pre-2016? Elon has been a bastard for a long time. Pretty much all his claims about the cars’ capabilities have been lies from day 1. Not to rub salt in the wound but people really should’ve evaluated Tesla more critically before buying the cars.
2018. Most big businesses are guilty of over promising and under delivering. I don’t care about that or his personal shortcomings as a human being (if he in fact turns out to be one). But harming others and the blatant nazi signaling is abhorrent. So, until I can maneuver away, here is my solution..
Most big businesses do not over- promise and underdeliver because prior to this regime, there were consumer protection laws in place and customers of other brands hold companies accountable for their claims.
Those consumer protection laws were put in place BECAUSE companies over-promise and under-deliver; and the enforcement was spotty even in the good times.
Those laws give companies other than Tesla incentive to not say their cars drive themselves when they don’t. It gives other companies incentive to design brakes and suspensions that support the weight of the cars.
I do not support vandalizing Teslas, but I do support harassing anyone who drives one. Flip them off at the very least. A tesla owner is a NAZI BY PROXI. You are a target for harassment, and I intend to harass you.
One thing you have to understand there are people that bought one to help the environment and before he turned into this publicly and can’t afford a new car. However cyber trucks? Yeah they already knew 🤣
I don’t even have one 🤣 I guess no logical conversations can be had with you. Expecting people to sell their cars they have paid for before all this is wild. So you not know how the exotics hurting and people are struggling to survive? But hey they should totally make their situation worse right?
The Tesla Takedown protest isn’t just a vibe — it’s a WARNING. People are DONE with Musk’s greed, lies, and exploitation. This is what real accountability looks like — and it’s just the beginning. SHARE if you stand with the people! 🚨🔥
Unfortunately, the only person who can stop Musk is Trump. Musk has to become so toxic and so hated that Trump starts to feel like he is making him look bad. Donny only cares about how he thinks he is being perceived. So we have to make Musk toxic.
I'm begging liberals to stop taking victory laps over this. You haven't accomplished anything yet. Standing in front of a car dealership with a sign isn't stopping this government when these people are too big of pussies to take any further action.
Also it seems inconsistent. Who's mad at Tim Apple for donating $1M to Trump's inauguration, and needlessly attending? Where's the ire at Google for Bring and Pichair likewise bending the knee? At least Tesla helps the environment, and so does what few MAGA buy Teslas.
Nice try, Chris — but this isn’t about whataboutism. Apple and Google didn’t turn a social platform into a far-right propaganda machine or align with extremists. Musk did. That’s why the protest is justified. Focus on the issue — not the distraction.
Sadly, the only way these oligarchs will feel any pushback is if it affects money. Protesting the product and shaming the product bring down sales. Tr*mp and *lon are concerned enough to try and sell the cars on the White House lawn. This just might be the new way to get through.
Let's put it this way. Who'd buy a Tesla now? Only a MAGA-loud-and-proud jerk who didn't care if it gets stickered or keyed. Shrinks the buyer pool to mere droplets.
I get your point and agree it’s gonna require more, but not everyone is suited for what may be required. Let everyone participate in whatever they are comfortable doing. Consider it practice.
But yes, this will not be done by posting on social media or demonstrations alone
We do what we can. Our voices in WASHINGTON are mute right now. We need to get their attention anyway we can. Then vote OUT every single coward congresspeople and Senator we can.
That'll be about zero congresspeople and senators, since districts are gerrymandered as fuck and Senate races are determined by how many cities your state has.
🚨 Tesla is CRASHING in Germany! Sales PLUMMETED 76.3% in February 2025 vs. Feb 2024 — just 1,429 units sold. 😳 In the first two months of 2025, registrations are down a staggering 70.6% year-over-year. Musk’s empire is COLLAPSING — and it’s just the beginning! 🔥👀
It’s A beginning and note that the EU is intent on dumping as many Teslas as possible. There are other and better electric cars that do not catch fire and are not led by ketamine delusion brained Nazis.
It's a start. Shorting Tesla certainly has Musk's attention. If demand tanks, his stock tanks, and creditors call in everything that's leveraged off that stock. Musk is just a first step, but it's a baby step for what is needed next.
💯 👍✊ Tesla is CRASHING in Germany! Sales PLUMMETED 76.3% in February 2025 vs. Feb 2024 — just 1,429 units sold. 😳 In the first two months of 2025, registrations are down a staggering 70.6%
Exactly! 🙌 Time to stop being afraid and start holding them accountable. Musk’s greed and lies won’t stop themselves — the people have to make it happen.
Exactly. Politicians won’t save us — and waiting for them is part of the trap. That’s why this movement is different — direct action, accountability, and collective power. We’re not just talking anymore — we’re already making it happen.
I think what he means by "exuberant" is not necessarily a declaration of victory but rather a sense of being emboldened, not a passive spectator. By joining a protest (even if it doesn't result in an immediate "win"), a participant often feels that they are actively engaged in a democratic process.

Exactly! Protests are the spark that lights the fire of change. History proves it – from civil rights to women’s suffrage. Small steps create momentum, and momentum fuels revolutions.
This over and over. We bought our Tesla way before this to cut down our use of petroleum especially as we travel hours at a time in our car across Texas. I feel no shame owning it. You cannot convince me that this machine has feelings of a Nazi. Instead, target Musk himself, or CEOs of the company
It’s not about the car – it’s about what the car represents. Musk isn’t just running a company; he’s fueling a dangerous ideology. The problem isn’t owning a Tesla – it’s empowering a man who aligns with extremism and threatens democracy.
you seem confused about the trajectory in play here. i don’t think we can really say anything until those Q1 numbers drop. then we’ll know how effective it’s been
elon’s wealth and power are entirely linked to the performance of tesla stock. if it falls far enough he’ll get margin called on his loans and will have to sell twitter. not sure why you’re learning this from me
I dare you to buy an EV that isn’t a money losers for the manufacturer. Go ahead. I double dog dare you. You’ll have to go to China for that and buy a subsidized car.
Anyone who calls jvp kapos is a dumb as shit bigot (seriously, tell me about your failure of a life so we can roast you), but this take is even stupider than most. Buy a fucking Rivian, loser.
tesla dealerships are sparse. Tesla chargers are common. Label those fvkers up! Remind every tesla driver, what their car brand means NOW. Remember shoes are a key identifier.
When will the protests begin for Trump businesses and Marry-A-Lardo? He’s the one who gave Elonia permission to carry out the destruction of America and its economy.
He's not finding anything. He's doing a hatchet job, protecting his interests from oversight and accountability and fleecing Americans.

If Trump weren't feeding him billions in gov contracts, i think he'd care more. But so far, he tries to shrug it off even after his investors called him back to do his job as CEO. Would not doubt if he feels this hurts his investors more and that he'll be ok with all his side hustles.
She's always wrong. He contention is that driverless will be a trillion dollar market and that Tesla is best placed to take advantage of it. However Tesla is still nowhere near safe driverless tech yet. And there are better competitors like Waymo.
It's all based on hope with her. She's betting everything on driverless through sheer blind optimism. It seems to be one of those technologies that's always 10 years away like Fusion.
I have a hunch you are spot on. She needs to maintain this myth if they want to avoid heavy losses. Vanguard (#2 investor in Tesla after Musk) could sustain a bloodbath. Tesla is a tiny portion of their total. Woods would be in trouble. I think ARK has about 8% of their total assets (TUM) in Tesla.
Boston Tesla Takedown today. 350 people and a brass band. Fun for all. More fun will be seeing Tesla stock and sales continue to tank. Once Nazi Musk is broke he'll be no use to Trump.
I passed one with 50 or so people while running chores today. They got a healthy honking of the horn from me. The enthusiasm was palpable. They made me want to shop for some markers and poster board.
When I drove by at noon there were people on all 4 corners. I was on my way to an appointment, so I couldn't stop, but I honked, gave 👍 & 🫶. A few others started honking too
Our little town of Loveland Colorado has a regular contingent of folks protesting our tiny Tesla dealership. 👍 Last week though there was a lone man standing on the other side of the street with a qnon flag. It was rather amusing.
Tesla Takedown today in Walnut Creek, CA. Hundreds of protestors, lots of awesome signs, solidarity, human connection and a commitment to keep going to defeat these bastards. Felt soooo much better after the shitty news yesterday. Will be there every Saturday I can!
What is going on here? Are they preaching from the back of a cyberstuck? I would’ve had to take a different route because I don’t have the restraint to drive behind this without making a bad decision.
Ride your bike yes, but ride around the protest, probably not because there is a lot of traffic and we all want to stay safe. You could likely lock it to something near where you stand though or just keep it by you. Please do join in. The more the merrier.
Chris,
You should consider reporting the facts that Teslas are selling very well. This isn’t really working, 95% of Teslas are ordered online btw. Inventory was very low to start the year and it’s being drawn down rapidly …
Too much about Tesla is misleading. I don't trust your graph or anything that Tesla influencers have to say. Even when the numbers supplied are correct they are out of context, unimportant or purposely misleading.
Pls check to ensure your retirement account managers are not investing in them. Several teacher retirement systems bought their stock recently - and before the big dips. Doubt many teachers know or approve of this
Can confirm! Did my 3rd week at Rockville MD Tesla and it’s a blast. On a busy street probably half the drivers honked or gave a thumbs up. Some drivers looked ecstatic! Really! People need to know they are not alone.
We have them weekends and usually one day a week out here in silicon valley. Work has made attending impossible but I hear they're quite a fun time. We finally have a long standing reason to collectively complain about Tesla out here and we like it.
were you not present for the whole 'digital coup' thing? money gets everything in capitalism. 1. trump would never be allowed to reject musk 2. musk won't be dead as soon as trump
I stand by my position, it is perfect for Trump that you focus on and blame Musk. Then Trump can drop Musk and Trump will be the hero who solved the problem. Perfect for Trump. Trump is the problem
again, it is impossible for trump to drop musk of his own accord. musk has far too much money. if trump goes away, the problem isn't solved. musk will still use his money for his own ends and fascism will remain on the rise
That’s exactly how I would describe ours here in Austin, Texas today! It was joyful! Unfortunately, Alex Jones showed up in his idiotic Cubertruck with a bullhorn trying to cause trouble. Just making irrelevant content. 🤬
This will hurt his ego, but he'll be held up financially by government subsidies through RapeX or Starfunk or whatever new bullshit company he launders money through.
I saw a Tesla Cyber truck in the parking lot of Walmart a few months ago. I have never seen a more grotesque thing in my life!! I had to inquire of the driver what exactly it was. I understand they are under recall. I can see why. Ugly, not at all appealing and as for aerodynamic , I think Why?
Senators of all parties: Trump is undermining our Republic for Putin’s gain. Confirming unfit Cabinet picks helps him. Putin's ambitions include Alaska, Eastern Europe, and Greenland. Defend democracy. Stop Trump.
Jesus Christ, at what point is there a margin call? is it $100 a share? I thought the combo of Twitter’s value dropping and Tesla dropping would have the creditors do something.
The "Fuck Joe Biden" and "Let's Go Brandon" chant took off because it was four syllables. Similar to "Fuck Al-tu-ve!" and "Fi-re Ni-co!" So the anti-Musk chant should be something like "Fuck you, E-lon!" or "De-port E-lon!"
Was at the Manhattan protest today, excellent vibes. One asshole with a selfie stick came by trying to provoke a confrontation but was unsuccessful, and NYPD basically escorted him off the block. Will be back next week!
That’s Pam Bondi’s stupidest statement. They against every constitutional amendments and yet the justices not standing up enough for the reason their existence.
Chris Hayes you are an absolute outstanding journalist so much respect for you and others Trump will not take this freedom from any of us
The uprising is starting and will get stronger all people all sides know this is wrong People vs the government never in my life have I ever felt this strongly
PLEASE SUPPORT #TESLATAKEDOWN
IT IS WORKING AS SUPPORT GROWS. Teach Elon & his fellow billionaires that our power in numbers is real. Keep up the pressure & drive down the price of Tesla even further.
There is something spiritually good about protesting outside of a dealership associated with the billionaire fascist illegally tearing apart your democracy. He does not have to worry about elections or donors. But he does have to worry about his crappy car stock price.
I didn’t want my husband to buy one, but now we are underwater on it. I was always worried about the whole “unable to open the doors in a fiery crash scenario,” but now? What if the software updates don’t keep coming and it is essentially bricked? So many bad options.
Makes me exuberant just hearing that. Musk is intentionally and deliberately destroying peoples lives. Many will die because of his fascist greed and hatred. Destroying Musk's businesses is the most honorable thing people can do. Never stop attacking Musk. Down with Tesla. Down with Space X.
We had 300 people protesting Muskrat at ‘Tesler’ yesterday along the main road on S. Burlington,VT. Lots of horn honking as cars drove by.
Friday, we were at the capitol in Montpelier, VT protesting for veterans.
Vermont fights back!!

However, my vision gets really blurry around Teslas for some reason, and I'm not sure I could identify a person who damaged one.
Get fucked dude

Why not protest all the dick bags still using Twitter? Like Apple, Google, the entire MSM, the Democratic party ...
Musk is an extremist, so is Trump, and Visa certainly have voluntarily aligned themselves with them.
I'm wiling to bet the anti-Tesla protesters are unwilling to stop using their Visa cards. That'd be asking too much.
You're insulting them and discouraging them.
Are you Maye Musk? You sound like it.
But yes, this will not be done by posting on social media or demonstrations alone
I'm curious what percentage of these protesters didn't vote in 2024.
All we see is attacks on like-minded people who bought cars years ago or destruction of stores as employees recoil in fear.
Brilliant.
Meanwhile Muskrat lies to the court and cuts another 10,000 jobs with heartless abandon.
But those who bought years ago? What’s the accomplishment?
Force sale? Elon may get incentives from new purchase. Muskrat doesn’t notice, the car is still on the road and the owner is out $1k+.
Vandalism? Elon gets parts profit.
His Tesla stock is his wealth.
Then it becomes fucking hilarious if you ask me.
800 billionaires are not better than 300 million Americans.
Screw tesler the prize is SpaceX contracts.
Tesla is a distraction.

I am beyond afraid of a fake false flag excuse for shooting people of color. This is why asshole pardoned all those J6 dudes.
Musk is a large part of why Trump is so much worse this time.

Also, as a non-American I can't do much about Trump.
But I can hurt Musk's pyramid scheme empire, built on overpriced Tesla shares and hot air.
The battery packs in the cyber trucks are dainty.
That's taxpayer money, by the way. OUR money.
