Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Tesla showroom in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan today as a part of the “Tesla Takedown” movement.
For weeks now, protests have been organized by groups including People Over Profits and Disruption Project to denounce Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his involvement in the federal government.
Many of the protesters said they are targeting the business that made Musk the richest man in the world. Forbes estimates his net worth to be just under $200 billion.
“If we can go ahead and continue to protest Tesla as strong as we possibly can and let the world know it’s a toxic brand that fuels him, that’s when you start putting pressure on someone. When you control his money, you control him,” said Mark, a protester who was not willing to share his full name out of fear for his safety.
Karin Schall brought chalk to the protest and used the word “STOP” already painted on the asphalt to write “STOP ELON AND DOGE” — the acronym for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
