Today, a “Tesla Takedown” protest estimated at nearly two hundred gathered outside Vallejo’s Tesla Dealer on Admiral Callahan Lane. Protesters lined the sidewalk in front of Tesla and all the way up to Applebees. A group also formed on the opposite side of the street in front of Share Tea.
Protesters flew U.S. flags and a Ukranian flag, and held up a dazzling display of signs…

- NO ONE ELECTED MUSK – STOP THE COUP
- NO KINGS, NO TYRANNY, NO TESLA
- MUSK is a RAT!
- FIRE FELON
- NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW
- ECO TRAITOR
- ELON MUSK MUST STOP THE CUTS
- BOYCOTT GroTESqueLA
- DELETE DOGE DEPORT ELON

One sign was directed at our elected Republican leaders: IF YOU HONOR YOUR OATH, UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION.
Another summed up our current federal disaster-in-progress: SUPER CALLOUS FRAGILE RACIST SEXIST NAZI PSYCHOPATHS.
One guy with a bullhorn chanted repeatedly, “Elon wants to go to Mars, we don’t want to buy his cars.”
Organizers of the nationwide peaceful Tesla Takedown Movement are asking concerned Americans to “Sell Your Teslas, Dump Your Stock, and Stop Musk Now.”
Local organizers include Vallejo-Benicia Indivisible. Today’s protesters came away with instructions to gather again next Saturday, March 22, at 11am.

WHY PROTEST TESLA?
- Protests against Tesla have intensified globally in response to CEO Elon Musk’s involvement with the Donald Trump administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It is important for the public to raise voices of protest
- concerning the role Tesla’s unelected billionaire owner, Elon Musk, is playing in the Trump administration.
- Note also that Tesla employees have reported poor treatment and policies, resulting in a high injury rate, with some having faced sexual harassment, racism, and union-busting incidents. Tesla’s environmental practices, use of cryptocurrencies, and compliance with open source licenses have been mentioned by critics. [wikipedia]
