Anti-DOGE Protests erupted on Saturday outside Tesla stores across the country as protesters opposed to CEO Elon Musk’s plans to cut federal saving. Tesla’s reputation was the subject of the protests, which were a part of a wider pushback against Musk’s control in Washington.
More than 50 demonstrations were reported in US cities, including those in Tucson, St. Louis, New York City, Dayton, Charlotte, and Palo Alto, with plans to stage further demonstrations in England, Spain, and Portugal afterwards in March. Many activities were listed on a website called” Telasus Takedown” across North America and Europe.
We can get up at Elon, said 58-year-old ecology Nathan Phillips, who is protesting in Boston. By boycotting Tesla and telling everyone else to “get out, buy your shares, buy your Teslas,” we can directly harm Tesla’s financial system.

Rallies in some locations became anxious. Around 300 persons gathered at a Tesla factory in New York City, and police arrested nine of them. A person was also accused of vandalizing a Tesla factory in Colorado, where Molotov cocktails were thrown at cars and the building had the words” German cars” painted on it.
Jewish organizations expressed worry over rising racist incidents, with some Tesla masters reporting instances of theft against their vehicles. In response to the growing discussion, studies claim that Tesla cars have been spray-painted with swastikas.
Despite the protests, Musk continues to be one of the richest people in the world, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of USD 359 billion. Since Trump took office, Tesla’s property has fallen almost a second, but it is still significantly higher than it was a year ago.
