Tesla takedown movement

Meanwhile, protesters across the United States have been going on rallies against Musk and Tesla due to his role at the government.

Tesla has been a target for demonstrations and vandalism in the US and elsewhere this year after CEO Elon Musk became a key figure in the Trump administration.

Gunshots were fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon on Thursday for the second time in a week. Earlier, four Cybertrucks were destroyed in a blaze in Seattle.

Police have arrested many over the last week as the protests continue.
