Activists Plan Global ’Tesla Takedown’ Protest Over Musk’s Pay Package
A coalition of activists is mobilizing for a worldwide demonstration dubbed 'Tesla Takedown' on November 15, targeting CEO Elon Musk's recently ratified compensation plan. The campaign, promoted under the hashtag #NoTrillionaires, frames the protest as a stand against concentrated wealth and power. Organizers accuse Musk of fostering authoritarian tendencies through his expanding influence over technology and political spheres.
The group emphasizes peaceful dissent, explicitly condemning vandalism or violence—a notable stance following destructive incidents at Tesla facilities earlier this year. Shareholders' approval of Musk's incentive package has reignited debates about corporate governance and wealth inequality, with protesters aiming to curb what they view as excessive executive rewards.
