Protesters rally outside of a Tesla store in Boston, March 1, 2025, against the company's CEO, Elon Musk, who is leading an effort to cut government jobs on behalf of US President Donald Trump
ACTIVISTS gathered outside Tesla stores across the United States on Saturday to protest against the car maker’s billionaire chief executive Elon Musk and his campaign to cut government jobs.
The rallies were part of more than 50 listed on the Tesla Takedown website on Saturday, with more planned later in March across the US, Britain, Spain and Portugal.
The protesters hope to discourage and stigmatise purchases of Tesla, the electric car company.
