The protest will take place on Saturday, March 29, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Tesla dealership located at 115 Kisco Ave. in Mt. Kisco, according to the organizer.
Organizers say the action is part of the broader #TeslaTakedown movement, which aims to spotlight what they describe as Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s outsized political influence, his financial ties to right-wing figures, and the company’s alleged violations of labor and environmental laws.
“We’re not protesting EVs; we’re protesting Tesla,” one statement from the organizers reads. “There are plenty of other EV options—no one has to support a brand that funds fascism.”
Protesters say the rally is a nonviolent demonstration in defense of democracy, free speech, and environmental accountability.
"History has shown us time and again that when people come together—peacefully and courageously—they form the strongest resistance against authoritarian regimes,” the organizers added.
Protesters are expected to hold signs, deliver speeches, and distribute materials to raise awareness about what they describe as Tesla’s contradictory environmental messaging and its CEO’s political entanglements.
The planned protest comes as public sentiment against Tesla has increased in recent weeks. Musk has been facing pushback for his work with Trump as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), as Daily Voice has reported.
The organization, which was not formally approved by Congress, has been tasked with gutting federal agencies to reduce spending.
Trump condemned the protests against Tesla earlier this month in a post on Truth Social:
"To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is 'putting it on the line' in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump posted. "But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s 'baby,' in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for."
Trump also bought a new Tesla vehicle to show support for Musk.
""Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
