Protesters Distance Themselves From Vandalism
While the latest round of protests aimed to make their dislike of Musk loud and clear, they have also made sure to distance themselves from previous incidents of vandalism that have caused damage to Tesla showrooms.
It can be recalled that President Donald Trump said that any acts of violence against Tesla showrooms will be seen as forms of domestic terrorism.
The Guardian's report notes that the organizers of the "Tesla Takedown" movement have condemned such acts."
The organizers have also insisted that "Peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism."
