- Protests against Elon Musk extend over several countries, from vandalism to the criminal fire.
- They include the management of dealers, the creation of fire load terminals and sometimes firearms.
- Musk attributes troubles to leftist political groups, but the evidence is not supported.
It seems that the owners of electric vehicles are moving away from more Tesla, with less support for Elon Musk than ever before. This may seem surprising, given the status of Musk as Tesla’s face and the movement of the electric vehicle itself. A recent study pointed out that not only more people on the right political align with Musk these days, but that its connection with the owners of electric vehicles is also cooled.

This change of feeling would not generally be a major affair, but Musk is not an ordinary businessman – he is Tesla’s public face, and his actions, both in business and in politics, arouse serious troubles. Instead of staying in the safe area of corporate leadership, Musk seems to have exchanged his role as CEO for that of a political lightning rod.
The demonstrators take things
In recent weeks, we have reported several individual cases of protests against Musk. The supposed chief of the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) aroused generalized animosity because of his involvement in the work of the government and his political tendencies (both provable and theorized).
Tesla’s individual owners have faced eggs, vandalism with stickers, more vandalism with aerosol paint and countless threats for those who did not want to sell their car. The demonstrators also went beyond the simple targeting of individual owners.
In some places, they have set up projections that make Tesla buildings in a protest panel. In other areas, they paid money to advertise Tesla and Musk. Certain individual dealers and Tesla’s own super-chargers have however treated the worst.
Recharge terminals and dealers under fire
Recharge stations in several states have become main targets for vandals. Some filled the foam ports, completely cut the cords, marked them with graffiti centered on the Nazi and even went so far as to set them up. This incendiary behavior is not limited to charging stations either.
This also occurs in dealerships in the United States and abroad. In a case, a person pulled several balls on a dealer, damaging both Tesla stocks and customer vehicles. What is wild is that the vast majority of these actions are carried out by individuals, no large groups. You would think that some isolated incidents were going out quickly, but this is clearly not the case. This seems to supply larger manifestations everywhere.
Group protests
In New York, demonstrators recently resumed the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Police arrested six people in the law, but supporters called it “how we beat fascism”. In Chicago, a protest group expressed his supporters in the streets in an event called Remove Tesla, Trump and tyranny. Several police officers aligned themselves in front of the Tesla local dealer to protect him.
In doing so, they have somewhat proven the point of the demonstrators. “Do you wonder if they would protect my small business with this level of strength?” Oligarchy doing their thing, ”said a Reddit user, highlighting the Musk Power and Influence tags. In rare cases, the police even went so far as to protect individual vehicles.
Other events have seen citizens in various cities stand in the corners of dealers holding signs. Calls from different groups are pressure for the spread and intensification of demonstrations, while Musk, it seems, does nothing.
Musk thoughts
In the opinion of Musk, a greater force leads to these manifestations. More specifically, he claims that five groups financed by Actblue are behind them. Actblue, a left-wing political organization, is funded by personalities like “George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman and Leah Hunt-Hendrix”, according to Musk.
To a certain extent, Musk predicted resistance to his work in Doge long before Trump won the presidency. In a podcast, he mentioned that such a decision would cause a strong reaction. “The reaction of antibodies would be very strong. You attack the matrix at that time. The matrix will retaliate. “Whether it’s the matrix – or just really angry people – is always to be discussed.
It should be noted that if the plots exist, there is no evidence at this stage connecting Actblue, or any other major political entity, to these demonstrations. It is tempting to blame annoying events on dark plots, but it is often more difficult to accept the reality of the situation. High -level political figures like Bernie Sanders – who have no direct link with Actblue other than shared political trends – have also publicly and directly called Musk.

At this stage, it is not clear if what we are witnessing is a purely basic movement against Musk, a sordid conspiracy or a mixture of the two. What is certain, however, is that people are angry with Musk and that they take it from the dealers and owners of Tesla, most of whom have absolutely nothing to do with musk, actions or its political trends. They are simply injured by the association with the brand.
For onceIt seems that Elon could be powerless to do anything on this subject.
