Tesla’s German factory has become a battleground. Workers say they can’t even use the bathroom during shifts. Over 3,000 employees signed a petition demanding more breaks and better staffing. At the same time, activists burned Teslas near Berlin to oppose the factory’s expansion, claiming it harms the environment. These protests aren’t random. They’re part of a bigger plan to take down Elon Musk and everything he stands for.
When Musk backed right-wing parties in Europe, Germans stopped buying Teslas. Sales dropped 76% in Germany after he supported Trump’s policies. Left-wing groups latched onto this anger, turning it into a global campaign. The “Tesla Takedown” movement organized protests in over 250 cities, using catchy slogans and dance parties to mask their real goal: crippling Musk’s influence.
While most demonstrations look harmless, extremists firebombed Tesla properties in Oregon, Colorado, and South Carolina. Leaders refuse to condemn the violence, letting militants do the dirty work while they keep their hands clean. This “diversity of tactics” strategy lets them claim innocence while chaos helps their cause.
Claremont Institute’s Dave Reaboi warns these protests are a testing ground for left-wing authoritarianism. By attacking Musk—a symbol of capitalism and free speech—they aim to scare other CEOs into silence. The endgame? Forcing businesses to bow to activist demands or face ruin.
Germany’s union troubles and burnt cars are just the start. The same groups targeting Tesla want to reshape society by bullying dissenters into submission. Musk’s fight isn’t just about factories or electric vehicles—it’s a battle for the future of free enterprise.
