The streets of London have become a battleground for political satire and activism targeting Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk. Mock posters and billboards with controversial messages have been popping up across the city, denouncing Musk as a far-right activist and urging people not to support his company. Similar sentiments have been seen in other European cities.
European groups, such as Takedown Tesla and Led by Donkeys, have organized protests and creative campaigns to challenge Musk’s influence and promote their anti-far-right message. These efforts are intended to pressure Musk and other wealthy individuals from promoting similar political ideologies.
The protests have had an impact on Tesla’s stock price, which has dropped significantly, as well as a decline in sales. Despite this, Musk remains confident in the long-term success of Tesla. The activists behind these movements emphasize that their goal is not violence but to use creative tactics to raise awareness and challenge Musk’s beliefs and actions.
In Germany, the anger towards Musk is also fueled by his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany party. Activists like Philipp Ruch from the Center for Political Beauty have organized protests to express their opposition to Musk’s political affiliations. These efforts, including light projections and viral stunts, have gained attention on social media and sparked a conversation about the role of billionaires in promoting far-right politics.
