Explosive Tesla Protests at Easton, Ohio Draw Hundreds Amid Musk Backlash: ‘It’s so bad even the introverts are here’

Growing movement.

The weekly protests outside the Tesla dealership at Easton Town Center have grown from a small gathering into a massive movement, with attendance skyrocketing from a dozen people to over 400 in just a few weeks. Outrage against Tesla CEO Elon Musk has fueled the demonstrations. In particular, his involvement with Trumpโ€™s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his widely condemned Nazi salute at the inauguration.

Footage shared in the Columbus subreddit shows the sheer size of the protests swelling outside the Easton Tesla location, with demonstrators holding signs, chanting, and receiving honks of support from passing cars. One Reddit user, Spooky_Gecko, captured the feeling on the ground:

โ€œThis was the 3rd time we have gone to this protest and it is INCREDIBLE how fast it has grown each time. The first one we were at seemed to be about 150ish people? This one was over 400! Also, the amount of people cheering us on from their cars or joining from the mall was so great to see. I am really proud of this community right now โค๏ธโค๏ธ.โ€

The protests, organized by the Ohio AFL-CIO, take place every Saturday at 4:30 PM outside the Tesla dealership at 4099 Easton Loop W. The event page describes it as a stand against Muskโ€™s โ€œattacks on federal workersโ€ and his efforts to undermine union contracts.

Amusingly, the movement has become so large that one banner held by an attendee caught my eye, in particular. The banner reads “It’s so bad even the introverts are here.”

Growing Fury Against Musk and Tesla

The controversy surrounding Musk has reached a boiling point in the wake of his appointment to Trumpโ€™s DOGE agency, which many see as a blatant attempt to dismantle labor protections. His salute at Trumpโ€™s inauguration last month only intensified the backlash, leading to widespread vandalism of Tesla vehicles and dealerships.

In one particularly blunt Reddit comment summed up the frustration:

โ€œHe kinda pissed off an entire demographic which contained the only people willing to buy his frequently malfunctioning overpriced vehicles.โ€

Some former Tesla owners are even ditching their vehicles in protest. One user, bearcats05, shared:

โ€œSold my Model 3 this week and bought an Ioniq 6. Itโ€™s honestly a much better car, and I really donโ€™t want to support Musk in any way.โ€

This protest isnโ€™t happening in a vacuum. Across the country, Tesla showrooms and vehicles have been targeted as anger toward Musk spills into the streets. Reports of spray-painted vehicles, slashed tires, and even Tesla owners removing their car emblems to avoid harassment have surfaced online.

While some protestors emphasize peaceful demonstration, others see more drastic action as a necessary response to Muskโ€™s influence. Mettie7 warned against escalation:

โ€œProtesting peacefully, like in the vid, is fine and encouraged, but the moment they start vandalizing other people’s vehicles with spray paint or torching them, it’s gone too far.โ€

Yet for many, Muskโ€™s actions have pushed them past the point of patience. MattCaff89, who has attended multiple protests, reveled in Teslaโ€™s plummeting stock price:

โ€œWeโ€™ve gone two weeks in a row. Itโ€™s a great time and it feels so good to be doing something. Plus I love watching Tesla stock tank all week and feeling like I helped make that happen lol.โ€

The Easton Tesla protests show no signs of slowing down. With each passing week, the crowds grow larger, the chants grow louder, and the pressure on Musk and his company intensifies. Organizers have pledged to continue their demonstrations โ€œuntil the tyrants topple.โ€

If the momentum of these protests continues, Easton Town Center may soon find itself at the epicenter of a nationwide reckoning with Musk and the empire heโ€™s built.
