Tesla Takedown: Nationwide Boycott Targets Musk’s Wealth
Elon Musk’s controversial “Department of Government Efficiency” has sparked widespread outrage, resulting in mass layoffs and budget cuts within the federal government. Simultaneously, a burgeoning protest movement, Tesla Takedown, is targeting Musk’s personal wealth through boycotts and efforts to lower Tesla’s stock price, citing his extremism and damaging actions. This movement aims to pressure Tesla shareholders and the board to address Musk’s toxicity, leveraging the connection between his personal brand and Tesla’s value. While Tesla’s stock has seen recent dips, particularly in Europe following Musk’s controversial political endorsements, the long-term impact of the protests remains uncertain. Tesla Takedown represents a significant escalation of corporate accountability movements, given Musk’s close ties to the White House.
