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.
