BREAKING: Anti-Tesla Protests Break Out Across The World

While much of cable news avoids the story, something big is unfolding across the United States today: a coordinated, non-violent protest against one of the most powerful tech giants in the world — Tesla. More than 200 protests have been planned nationwide, with thousands of Americans converging on Tesla dealerships in a powerful show of grassroots resistance against Elon Musk’s ownership of the company.

The campaign, which is being ignored by most mainstream outlets, has a clear objective: hit Musk where it hurts — his wallet. Protestors are urging Tesla owners to sell their vehicles, investors to dump their stock, and everyday people to join in disrupting business at dealership locations.

And it appears to be working.

In New York City, the protests escalated from symbolic demonstration to tangible political action. In the heart of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assemblyman Micah Lasher addressed a cheering crowd, announcing plans to introduce legislation targeting Tesla’s sweetheart lease agreement with the state of New York. Here is part of the press release issued by the legislators today:

Another big anti-Musk turnout was reported outside the Tucson Tesla dealership, where hundreds of demonstrators rallied with signs, chants, and speeches demanding corporate accountability. The Arizona crowd joins a growing chorus of communities nationwide standing up against what they see as the dangerous consolidation of wealth and influence in the hands of Elon Musk.

The protests have also spread to Buffalo, where residents are rallying in front of the Tesla dealership there and the crowd is actively growing:

They’ve also made their way to Northern Ireland where residents lined up in front of the Tesla Showroom in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

But, it’s not just in Northern Ireland, New York, and Arizona. These protests are across America. There are over 200 of them, more than I can cover alone. And, the protests are only growing in size right now. While the protests are scheduled for just today, organizers expect the anti-Musk sentiment to continue growing.

But, the silence of major media networks is telling. For a movement of this scale — spanning hundreds of cities— to be ignored signals just how insulated figures like Musk have become from scrutiny. But independent voices are paying attention, and so are the people on the streets.

This isn’t just a protest against one man. It’s a broader demand for corporate accountability, transparency, and the end of billionaire impunity — and it's just getting started.
