Tesla takedown: left-wing group indivisible targets musk with second nj protest

LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Activists from the progressive group Indivisible are organizing a second “Tesla Takedown” event in New Jersey this weekend, as criticism mounts against Elon Musk’s growing political presence.

The news is concerning for local residents as the movement has already launched violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners throughout the country. Firebombings, Molotov cocktails, and even shootings have been reported at Tesla dealers nationwide.

Key Points

Indivisible Cranbury is organizing a protest at a Tesla dealership in Lawrence Township, N.J., on Saturday.
The event follows a similar planned protest in Eatontown and is part of a series dubbed “Tesla Takedown.”
Organizers say the rally is intended to oppose Elon Musk’s political influence and pressure his business interests.

The protest, scheduled for Saturday from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., will take place outside the Tesla dealership at 3371 Brunswick Pike in Lawrence Township. The rally is being hosted by Indivisible Cranbury and marks the third event under the “Tesla Takedown” banner.

According to organizers, the demonstration is intended to pressure Tesla customers and draw attention to what they describe as Musk’s “chaotic and heartless agenda.” The event’s promotional material reads, “No one voted for Elon Musk, but he’s using his wealth and power to take down our government. Let’s take down his business.”

The group claims a turnout of 400 at a previous Tesla Takedown event and is encouraging continued participation.

The protest is the second anti-Musk demonstration announced in New Jersey this week, following a similar event scheduled in Eatontown on Sunday. Both are aimed at increasing public visibility around Musk’s political involvement, which includes his advisory role to the federal government and recent meetings at the Pentagon.

Organizers have not announced any planned road closures, and local authorities have not issued statements regarding crowd control or permits.
