More than 200 demonstrations are planned at US Tesla locations on Saturday as part of the Tesla Takedown’ movement.

The movement wants people to sell their Tesla vehicles and their shares of Tesla stock as a way to denounce CEO Elon Musk , the world’s richest man, whose wealth is overwhelmingly linked to his Tesla holdings.

Since joining the Trump administration, Musk has aggressively pushed policies to reduce spending, curb regulations and downsize the workforce.

Last weekend in Florida , protesters had to move out of the way of an SUV that jumped the curb and drove toward them.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly discussed Tesla ’s stock and acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and showrooms.

“My companies are suffering because I’m in the government, not advantageous,” Musk told Fox News host Bret Baier .
