Hundreds of demonstrators protested outside Tesla showrooms nationwide Saturday as part of the Tesla Takedown movement, according to CNN. The boycott opposes CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency and federal cost-cutting measures. The movement urges people to sell Teslas, divest from the stock, and join picket lines. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed to crack down on Tesla-related vandalism after incidents, including arson at charging stations and showroom occupations. Tesla shares are down 30% since protests began last month.
