The "Tesla Takedown" is a protest movement that emerged in early 2025, targeting Tesla, Inc. and its CEO, Elon Musk.[1] Protesters have organized demonstrations at Tesla dealerships across the United States and Europe and urged the public to divest from Tesla by selling their vehicles and stocks. The movement's goal is to economically impact Musk and challenge his political influence.[2]
