A protest at a Tesla dealership in Watertown resulted in two injuries when a pickup truck struck demonstrators. Part of the #TeslaTakedown campaign, the event was described as a global action against CEO Elon Musk, with arguments that Musk is undermining democracy. While organizers advocate peaceful protest, vandalism incidents associated with the campaign have continued. The police are investigating the vehicle incident, and calls for boycotting Tesla highlight widespread disdain for Musk's actions and influence.
"He was planning the whole time," Gerry said. "It was intentional, and a deadly weapon is a car."
"Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it," the campaign website reads.
"We are taking action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup."
A peaceful protest movement that opposes violence, vandalism and destruction of property, yet unconnected incidents have resulted in vandalism.
