The "Musk Must Fall" protests are planned for cities across the country, including in "red" states of Texas, Missouri, Georgia, and Ohio, with the Tesla Takedown team saying: "And our birthday gift to the Broligarch in Chief? A global party with one powerful message: Musk Must Fall."

Actions are scheduled at Tesla showrooms in states including Texas, Missouri, and Ohio.Despite Musk’s exit from his brief tenure running DOGE, a role created during the Trump administration, organizers say they are not backing down.

The activists behind the Tesla Takedown campaign say they intend to expand beyond protests at the company’s showrooms.

Trump did not differentiate between those who will protest peacefully from those intent on inflicting violence.
