Tesla protests expand, target showrooms worldwide
Protesters targeting Tesla are organizing a large-scale demonstration on Mar. 29, 2025. The event will include 500 protests at Tesla showrooms and other locations worldwide.
The protests began in February and have expanded in response to actions by CEO Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). These actions include significant government layoffs and cuts to federal aid programs.
Organizers have emphasized that the demonstrations will be peaceful. They encourage participants to avoid violence and seek legal advice regarding state laws affecting protests.
