Protesters Rally at Tesla Dealerships Across Colorado Amid Backlash Against Musk’s Federal Cuts
Protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are intensifying nationwide, with multiple demonstrations held at Tesla dealerships across Colorado. The movement, fueled by widespread opposition to Musk’s sweeping federal layoffs, has gained traction as agencies like NOAA, the Department of Education, and the National Park Service face deep budget cuts and office closures under DOGE’s downsizing initiative.
On Saturday, demonstrators gathered outside Tesla dealerships in Colorado Springs, Littleton, Loveland, and Superior as part of a nationwide #TeslaTakedown campaign. Protesters are calling on Tesla owners to sell their vehicles, urging investors to dump Tesla stock, and pressuring the company over its ties to Musk’s controversial policies. The backlash has already contributed to Tesla’s stock plummeting by more than 30% in 2025.
The protests have also coincided with a surge in vandalism at Tesla dealerships across the country, with Loveland seeing multiple incidents in recent weeks. As tensions escalate, President Trump has condemned the actions, warning that attacks on Tesla facilities could be classified as “domestic terrorism.” In a highly publicized show of support, Trump further aligned himself with Musk on Tuesday by purchasing a Tesla in front of the White House, signaling a firm stance against the ongoing demonstrations. What do you think? Are these protests warranted? If you own a Tesla have you experienced and hate? Will this discourage you from getting a Tesla?
