Emboldened by Tesla’s terrible Q1 financial results, protest organizers are ’shifting gears‘ to go after SpaceX, as well as Elon Musk’s xAI, which is building a huge Memphis supercomputer.
Ongoing Tesla protests are expanding to target Starlink and other Elon Musk-backed enterprises.
Organizers of the „Tesla Takedown“ movement told Business Insider that they have „already started laying the groundwork to expand Tesla Takedown efforts to target other Musk businesses including SpaceX, Starlink, X and xAI.“
The movement appear to be emboldened after Musk’s electric car company suffered a 71% year-over-year profit drop in Q1 on declining demand for Tesla vehicles. In an email earlier this week, organizers said: “To date, it is estimated that nearly 2,000 Tesla Takedown protests have occurred since the protests began on February 4th.”
“Today’s earnings report sends a very clear message: the Tesla Takedown grassroots pressure is beginning to hit Tesla where it hurts —the company’s bottom line,” the email adds.
