Tesla Takedown Protests a Bust in Texas 2nd Largest City

Two anti-Tesla protests took place in San Antonio as part of a "Global Day of Action," targeting Tesla dealerships worldwide. Despite the city's significant population of nearly 1.5 million, the protests attracted fewer than a dozen participants each, with demonstrations occurring at two different locations on the same day.

Breitbart Texas reported on the protests, which began around noon at one dealership and continued two hours later at another venue farther away. Protesters expressed their discontent through signs that criticized Tesla, its CEO Elon Musk, and even President Donald Trump.

Some signs were notably controversial, featuring Nazi symbols, including the swastika. This imagery has been associated with recent acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and properties, raising concerns among observers regarding the motivations behind the protests.

While organizers distanced themselves from the vandalism, recent incidents have sparked outrage and condemnation from the Trump administration. In particular, acts of violence at Tesla facilities, such as the use of incendiary devices and arson, have been labeled as domestic terrorism by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bondi emphasized the seriousness of these attacks, vowing to ensure that severe legal consequences would follow those perpetrating violence against Tesla properties. The protests, while small in scale, highlight growing tensions surrounding the electric vehicle manufacturer amidst a backdrop of escalating incidents of vandalism.
