Global Protests Erupt Against Elon Musk Following Mysterious Tesla Fires

Sat 29th Mar, 2025

Ottersberg, Lower Saxony - A perplexing incident involving the destruction of seven Tesla electric vehicles has raised questions about potential links to a worldwide protest against tech billionaire Elon Musk. The vehicles were set ablaze in the early hours of Saturday at an auto center in Ottersberg, resulting in total loss of the cars and damage estimated in the hundreds of thousands of euros.

The local fire department swiftly responded to the scene and extinguished the flames. The charred remains of the vehicles are set to be removed by a specialized company. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire and are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information.

This incident comes in the wake of a series of attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships across Germany. Just days prior, three Tesla cars in Hannover were vandalized with graffiti bearing anti-Musk slogans like 'KillElon'. The state protection agency has since initiated an investigation into these occurrences.

Are these acts of vandalism connected to the international protest day known as 'Tesla Takedown'? The group organizing the event has called for demonstrations against Musk and his company to take place globally, with events scheduled in cities such as New York, London, Paris, and Berlin.

With approximately 500 protests planned across all continents, demonstrators aim to exert pressure on Tesla and Musk. In the United States alone, protests are set to occur at all 277 Tesla showrooms, along with blockades at Supercharger stations.

In Hamburg, a rally is scheduled for 1 PM on Saturday outside a Tesla center. The organizers intend to send a strong message against what they perceive as Musk's unscrupulous business practices. The protest call highlights concerns over labor exploitation, environmental degradation, and threats to democratic values attributed to Musk and his company.

While the protest coalition advocates for peaceful means of expressing dissent, it remains steadfast in its commitment to economic and political resistance against Musk's operations. As the situation unfolds, many are left questioning the implications of these actions on Tesla and its future.
