The protest was part of a “global day of action” against Tesla CEO Elon Musk under a campaign known as #TeslaTakedown.

The protests were held to hit the Tesla CEO in his wallet as retaliation for widespread cuts he has made to the federal government and its spending through DOGE.

The plan for a day of mass demonstrations follows a series of violent incidents. Anti-Musk activists have been accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla facilities in Colorado, Nevada and Oregon and defacing Tesla vehicles there, and on Monday, authorities said they found multiple “ incendiary devices ” at a Tesla location in Texas.
