During the weekend of March 29-30, 2025, a protest organized as part of the global '#TeslaTakedown' campaign took place outside a Tesla dealership on Pleasant Street in Watertown, Massachusetts.

An investigation into the incident is currently underway, with police encouraging witnesses to come forward.

The protest turned chaotic when a truck's side mirror struck two individuals, resulting in minor injuries.

Local police were present at the scene and provided assistance to the injured, both of whom declined medical treatment.

Authorities quickly identified the driver of the truck involved in the incident, but have not disclosed whether the act was intentional or accidental.

The Watertown protest was part of a larger movement, with over 200 simultaneous protests occurring across the U.S. and Europe, highlighting growing activism against Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Demonstrators voiced their opposition to Musk's leadership role in the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, criticizing his access to sensitive government data.

Watertown police are actively seeking additional information regarding the protest incident and can be contacted for tips.

The protests come amid increased vandalism against Tesla properties, prompting the FBI to issue alerts about potential threats and urging citizens to remain vigilant.

Earlier in March, incidents of vandalism included the defacement of Tesla vehicles and arson at charging stations, reflecting heightened tensions surrounding the company.

Organizers of the protests emphasized the need for sustained activism, declaring that 'no one is coming to save us' from Musk's influence.

Protesters are targeting Tesla dealerships in response to Musk's significant wealth, estimated at $340 billion, and his controversial political activities.
