Counterprotesters appeared at "Tesla Takedown" protests over the weekend, according to Wired. Dubbed “Tesla Shield,” they were outnumbered by anti-Musk demonstrators in nearly every instance. Images and footage from various cities showed counterprotesters aligned with far-right and militia groups, some visibly armed and wearing extremist symbols. Tesla’s stock has dropped over 30% year-to-date, while isolated vandalism incidents have led to federal discussions on domestic terrorism charges. Both protest movements are escalating, with organizers pledging to continue actions.
