Hundreds of protesters gathered Saturday outside the Tesla showroom, according to NBC News. The protest occurred in Manhattan's Meatpacking District as part of the growing “Tesla Takedown” movement. The protest targeted Tesla and CEO Elon Musk, citing his influence on the federal government. Demonstrators called Tesla a “toxic brand” fueling Musk’s wealth, which Forbes estimates at nearly $200 billion. The FBI confirmed a rise in Tesla-related arson and vandalism cases though the agency said they appear to be isolated actors. Some Tesla owners have reported harassment since Musk endorsed Donald Trump.
