Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking nonviolent action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup.
⚡Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines.
⚡ We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop Musk.
⚡Stopping Musk will help save lives and protect our democracy.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts.
Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property.
This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly. We'll stay on sidewalks and won't obstruct traffic. We won't enter the Tesla Santana Row Showroom, nor stop people from entering or exiting it. No violence or threats against anyone, or destruction/vandalism of property, will be tolerated. Tesla dealerships are owned by the company, so we aren't impacting a small business, and this location is chosen because of its high public visibility.

San Jose: No Kings! Protest for Democracy on 250th Anniversary of American Revolution
Day of nationwide peaceful protest
Organizer: San Jose 50501
Location Details: St. James Park, 180 N. First St., San Jose, CA 95113
April 19th marks the 250th anniversary of the first day of the American Revolution. Just over a year later, the Continental Congress delegates would sign the Declaration of Independence declaring that "a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
50501 San Jose invites you to join our fifth peaceful march and protest against Trump Administration abuses, Project 2025, and corruption on Saturday, April 19th at the McKinley Statue in St. James Park starting at 12pm.
This is a peaceful protest. We do not condone violence or hate speech of any kind.
