Activists Protest Tesla Over Musk’s Controversial New Pay Package
A coalition of activists is gearing up for a global protest dubbed “Tesla Takedown” on November 15. This demonstration aims to challenge the recently approved pay package of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The protest will be promoted under the hashtag #NoTrillionaires, highlighting concerns over the excessive concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a single individual.
Concerns Over Musk’s Influence
The organizers assert that Musk’s increasing influence could pose a threat to democratic institutions. They argue making him a trillionaire would enhance his control over both technology and political spheres. The main goal of the protest is to raise awareness about Musk’s significant incentive plan and its implications.
Peaceful Intentions
Despite the intensity of the message, the organizers have emphasized that Tesla Takedown is designed to be peaceful and lawful. They have made clear their opposition to any form of violence, vandalism, or property damage. This cautious stance is particularly important given that prior protests at Tesla properties have led to arrests and violent incidents, including firebombings and shootings earlier this year.
Shareholders Back Musk’s Pay Package
This new wave of protests comes on the heels of Tesla shareholders approving Musk’s pay package. Over 75% of shareholders voted in favor during an annual meeting, a significant endorsement for Musk’s ambitious goals. To qualify for the full pay package, Musk must help Tesla reach targets that include delivering 20 million vehicles and deploying one million Tesla Bots and Robotaxis.
