Grassroots action slated Saturday at Tesla retailers globally; California anti-Nazi group aims to attack cars themselves
Protests are scheduled at Tesla stores worldwide this Saturday, February 15, as part of a grassroots campaign dubbed the “Tesla Takeover.” The demonstrations, largely organized through the Bluesky social media platform, are primarily aimed at Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Participants are calling for a boycott of Tesla, citing Musk’s recent political activity and influence in the U.S. and abroad.
The online campaign gained traction after prominent Bluesky users, including the hacker collective Anonymous, promoted the protest on their accounts. Demonstrators plan to gather at Tesla locations at 11 a.m. local time and use the hashtag #TeslaTakeover. Despite the lack of formal leadership, organizers hope to draw global participation.
Separately, a group called Students Against Nazi Extremists (SANE) mid-February announced plans to vandalize Tesla cars, trucks, and SUVs in four California cities — Arcata, Hayward, Seaside, and Rohnert Park — unless their owners sold the vehicles. According to local police and reports from the Lost Coast Outpost, the group cited Elon Musk’s political statements and alleged far-right affiliations as their motivation.
Arcata Police confirmed receiving multiple reports of threats and flyers left on Teslas, including one incident where a brick was placed on a vehicle’s windshield with a note stating “No Nazis in America.” (more...)
