At Tesla Takedown protests in Michigan hundreds of people gathered to voice their concerns about the new administration.
The article discusses the author's experience attending two Tesla takedown protests, highlighting the unexpected demographic of the protesters. Contrary to expectations of seeing primarily young, tech-savvy activists, the protests were largely attended by older generations, particularly Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. These individuals, often seen as more conservative or less engaged with modern tech issues, were there to protest against Tesla's labor practices, environmental impacts, and Elon Musk's controversial public persona. The author notes the irony in this generational turnout, suggesting that while younger generations might be more vocal online, it's the older generations who are physically showing up to these events, possibly driven by a mix of disillusionment with Musk's behavior and a broader critique of corporate America's ethical lapses.
