“#TeslaTakedown" trended on X, the social media platform owned by the Tesla CEO. Scenes from protests surfaced on X from various cities such as Seattle, Manhattan, and San Francisco.
In response, hundreds of Musk supporters also erupted on the streets across the country and showed their backing for the Tesla boss and DOGE.
The “Tesla Takedown" protests have mostly been peaceful, but some people who oppose Musk went as far as setting Tesla cars on fire. US Attorney General Pam Bondi called these acts domestic terrorism.
