Hundreds of protesters descended upon a Tesla dealership in Manhattan on Saturday, shattering the front doors before “occupying” the showroom.
At least six of the demonstrators were arrested by the NYPD.
The liberal activists were protesting against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

One of the protesters could be heard screaming “Fuck Elon Musk,” while being taken away in handcuffs.
The hoard also ironically chanted “We need clean air, not another billionaire!” Tesla, of course, makes electric vehicles — precisely what the climate change activists want to see more of.

Another protest at the same location on March 1 resulted in nine arrests.
Last month, a transgender activist was arrested for repeatedly vandalizing and for allegedly leaving explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership.
The dealership had been targeted on January 29, February 2, and February 7 — with the severity increasing each time.

Nelson was caught red-handed at the dealership with incendiary devices and materials to vandalize the building, again, on February 24.
In a press release about the arrest, the Loveland Police Department wrote:
“On Monday, February 24th, 2025, just before midnight, the Loveland Police Department arrested 40-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson. The arrest was based on probable cause obtained through an extensive investigation which started on January 29th. This arrest comes after the Loveland Tesla dealership was vandalized several times, with incendiary devices discovered on the scene. On Monday evening, Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism. Detectives apprehended Nelson prior to further damage occurring.”
Nelson has been charged with explosives or incendiary devices use, felony criminal mischief, and criminal attempt to commit felonies.
In a post on X on March 8, Musk wrote that five ActBlue-funded groups are funding the protests against Tesla.
An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.
ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman,…

ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel.
If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.
