AUSTIN, Texas/GAINESVILLE, Fla./CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—About 10 protesters gathered across the street from a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, after noon on March 29 to criticize the company’s CEO.

The demonstration along a stretch of North Highway 183 was one of hundreds organized across the United States on March 29, as part of the nationwide “Tesla Takedown” protest. The action takes aim at Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who, along with leading a range of business ventures, is also a senior adviser to President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
