Protests against Elon Musk

Beginning in 2019, protests against Elon Musk emerged in response to a series of controversies, with the latest wave in 2025 focusing on his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the second Trump administration.

Hundreds of demonstrations took place across the United States, accompanied by additional protests in Canada, Germany, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. Although the coordinated protests were largely peaceful, several incidents of vandalism were reported, along with the discovery of incendiary devices and explosives at Tesla facilities.

Musk's involvement in far-right politics and European election campaigns further intensified the backlash on a global scale. Protesters often targeted Tesla stores and showrooms, viewing them as extensions of Musk’s influence and a symbol of his perceived political and economic power.
