“On a Wednesday morning in mid-February, Boston University ecology professor Nathan Phillips staged one of the nation’s first protests against Elon Musk’s central role in gutting government agencies and firing tens of thousands of federal workers. It was a lonely one: Phillips and a close friend holding signs reading ‘Defund Musk’ on the sidewalk outside a Tesla showroom in Boston’s upscale Back Bay neighborhood. But Phillips returned the next day, and after getting the word out to friends and colleagues, about 20 people joined him. That weekend, the crowd was a little bigger. By mid-March, as Tesla Takedown protests took off nationwide …. on a global day of action in March targeting the company, at least 650 protesters showed up — part of a worldwide groundswell that, by late April, contributed to a remarkable 71% drop in Tesla’s profits, which Musk himself credits to protest organizers.” (06/04/25)
