Protests against Tesla and Elon Musk have intensified across the U.S., with larger crowds and increased arrests. The Tesla Takedown movement, which began in February, encourages boycotts of Tesla products and stock. This weekend, over 350 demonstrators gathered in Manhattan, resulting in five arrests. Similar protests occurred in Boston, Chicago, and Delray Beach, with hundreds participating and no arrests reported in some locations. Protests have also spread internationally, with demonstrations in Lisbon, Portugal. Concerns about Musk's political influence have fueled these actions, coinciding with a decline in Tesla's sales and stock value.
