Tesla has become a lightning rod for violent attacks and vandalism in the months since CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

They have as much right to it as we have of not getting our tax money stolen through waste, abuse and fraud.And they have as much right to violence and arson as those thieves have to steal our money!

Years ago, a local nice restaurant owned by a local entrepreneur donated money to a politician. Instantly the local leftist/minorities began protesting his/her restaurant. I never have understood how people can protest a place of business since it isn't redressing grievance with the goobernment. Seems more an attack on individuals that are not goobernment. This appears to be a similar situation. I get if one doesn't like a product they can voice their dissatisfaction with the product. Protesting a producet because of the ownership isn't the same as being an unsatisfied customer.

Typical brain-dead left. EV and its founder are their idols until philosophy parts. Then the mask is off.

All that is needed is a dozen or so arrests and five years in prison. These people think highly of themselves but are basically cowards. Real punishment will stop this.

Tesla has not "become" anything. Leftists always project and blame shift. Give it up NBC!
These people just want to be seen by other leftist idiots. They will never be productive in any way.

My son's friend has a cybertruck, he's gotten flipped off a couple of times and someone spit on it. I went by the local university parking lot and there were two Teslas. One had two stickers on it saying Anti-Elon and the other was just there. Brave owner. I hope he has his cameras engaged.

Why can’t they do it on Friday instead of Saturday? I’m sure none of them have jobs…

Elon has his politics, but so do his employees, so do Tesla franchise owners, and so do Tesla car owners.
No guarantee they all agree on all political issues.
These protesters are just p!ssing people off.

Everyone who attends should be put on a terror watch list. No fly list. FBI most wanted list. And the Group W bench.

Tomorrow is Jasmine's birthday, and she wants something gnarly to celebrate. I hope she gets it. And I hope those who think like her also get it, good and hard.

It's tough to figure - - which is greater - - their delusion, stupidity or evil?
Let's just call it a triple dead heat.

The sheep are up in arms. This is what happens when people are incapable of thinking for themselves. Others do the thinking for them. Some 'influencer' shouts out 'hate Tesla!'. The mindless mob repeats 'Hate Tesla!'. Don't ask them any questions. They need to be told how to respond first.

They are coming out in favor of wasting taxpayer money. That will be a popular political position.

Non-violent? I doubt it. They just can't help themselves.

Didn’t I read that Musk only has 13% ownership remaining in Tesla? These folks are idiots. On the upside they are self identifying their idiocy.

Anyone remember how the Korean store owners protected their property during the Rodney King riots in LA?

I had the same thoughts as #17. Hire a few snipers to perch on the roof of the dealership and 5 or 10 armed off duty cops with large dogs to patrol the lot looking for troublemakers. The threat of getting shot or eaten should work to settle things down!!

we don't know how tall elon is. it does look as though he dwarfs others in the camera shots.
he does seem quite brave, however.
we pray for his safety. careful as you go, mr musk. it's pretty stupid out there.

Hope they video all the participants and put them on terrorist watch lists. Maybe put a bunch of undercover feds in the crowd to rile them up then arrest all participants and jail them through coercion to get them to plead guilty to insurrection charges. Just kidding. You know our government would never do such a thing. s/

As usual, it's the Watermelon crowd.
'Morally Superior' Greenie-Weenie on the outside, but as soon as they don't get their way, they show their True Colors, the Communist Red Violent Core.
