Tesla Takedown movement fights back against Musk/Trump after push to label them as ‘domestic terrorists’

The Tesla Takedown movement is fighting back against claims made by Elon Musk and Donald Trump while protests are ramping up.

Earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk falsely accused the movement of Tesla protests to be financed by the Democratic Party’s ActBlue PAC, and President Trump tried to tie the protests with vandalism against Tesla vehicles and stores.

Trump went as far as claiming that “violence against Tesla dealership will be labeled as domestic terrorism.”

The Tesla Takedown movement has issued a statement in response to make it clear that they are against violence and destruction of property:

We are a nonviolent grassroots protest movement. We oppose violence and destruction of property. Peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism. They are trying to intimidate us. We will not let them succeed.

Their intention is to continue peaceful protests and they are in no way associated with the destruction of property – nor is there any evidence that they have been.

Tesla Takedown account on BlueSky added:

“We will not be bullied or allow our rights to be trampled on or stolen. If you’re ready to show Donald Trump and Elon Musk that there are no kings in America, join a Tesla Takedown protest in your community this weekend.”

Several more protests are now being organized for the next few days and into the weekends.

There are currently dozens of protests planned at Tesla stores and charging stations in the US, Canada, and Europe in the coming days.

Electrek’s Take

This is a slippery slope. I certainly condemn the destruction of the property of Tesla owners or vehicles and locations owned by Tesla.

It’s dangerous, and it doesn’t help the Tesla Takedown cause, but it seems to be a stretch to label that “domestic terrorism.”

As far as I can tell, the movement has never called for it. They have only called for peaceful protests, and they shouldn’t be associated with actions taken by extremists.

People have reasons to be mad at Musk and Trump, who are targeting social security, calling government officials “traitors” for supporting Ukraine, and alienating entire nations with senseless trade wars.

If they attack things they care about, is it unfair for them to attack things Elon cares about?
