Thousands of anti-Tesla protesters took to the streets Saturday March 29th in opposition to Elon Musk and his efforts with DOGE to eliminate humanitarian aid, close federal agencies, and fire government workers.

Today was billed as a “Global Day of Action” with protests targeting hundreds of Tesla locations in the US , Canada , and Europe .

As it enters its third month , the movement shows no signs of slowing down.

About 40-50 people (and two very good dogs) are lined up on both sides of the street waving signs and ringing cowbells.

The pro-Trump crowd says it's a rally for us. A support rally for Trump , DOGE , and America -first policies.

The anti-Tesla group says they are peaceful, nonviolent, we provide guidance and say no harassment of the Tesla showroom.

At a Tesla dealership in Long Beach , around 250 people lined the sidewalks on both sides of a busy four -lane road near a Home Depot and Costco that is packed on the weekends .

The protests were peaceful, with protestors remaining on public property, cheering as people honked in support.

A small number of Trump and Musk supporters showed up to troll the crowds.
