On Saturday, anti-Musk protests erupted at various Tesla locations across the U.S., with demonstrators voicing opposition to his role in government.
The protests draw attention to Elon Musk’s influence in political and corporate spheres, raising concerns among investors about impacts on Tesla.
Musk’s Dual Roles Spark Nationwide Protests
Multiple protests occurred as demonstrators gathered at Tesla stores, chanting slogans critical of Elon Musk’s political engagements. Participants highlighted Musk’s leadership roles, including his position in the Department of Government Efficiency.
Market implications are evident as Tesla’s stock has faced a downturn since President Trump’s inauguration. Investors remain wary of Musk’s involvement in government, which could sway market sentiment, particularly towards technology assets linked to his name.
“This continues to be a moment of truth for Musk to navigate this brand tornado crisis moment and get onto the other side of this dark chapter for Tesla,” said Dan Ives, Analyst, Wedbush Securities.
Reactions from political figures include statements from Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Zohran Mamdani, both of whom joined protesters and criticized Musk’s influence. Wedbush Securities’ Dan Ives described it as a “brand tornado crisis moment” for Tesla.
