Critics of Elon Musk gathered in London on Thursday to smash a disused Tesla in a protest art event organized by the group Everyone Hates Elon, according to The Guardian. Participants at the “London vs Musk” event took turns hitting a 2014 Tesla Model S with bats and sledgehammers, venting frustration over wealth inequality and Musk’s political influence. The scrapped vehicle was donated anonymously and will be auctioned for food bank charities. Protesters voiced concern over Musk’s leadership in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency and his perceived promotion of far-right policies. Tesla shares are down 13% this year amid growing backlash and boycott calls.
