[Dulcinea]

(NPR) LOS ANGELES — Tesla facilities worldwide have been the target of protests objecting to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's influential role in the Trump administration. On Saturday, anti-Musk protesters gathered again in what were their most ambitious and widespread rallies yet.

As part of the "Tesla Takedown" campaign, nonviolent demonstrations took place across the U.S. and even abroad on Saturday. Organizers called it a "global day of action" and said protests occurred in at least 253 cities around the world.

For weeks, the movement's organizers have been encouraging people to boycott the EV maker by selling their Tesla cars and stocks. According to Tesla Takedown, thousands of grassroots groups and individuals worldwide are driving the decentralized effort.

1. How does selling a used Tesla to someone else hurt Musk?

Tesla already made their profit on it.

3. Won't whomever buys it still be driving it around anyway ?

Never knew that selling a car is a way of sticking it to the CEO of the company that built it.

I just drive mine into the ground until they are at least 12 years old with 225k miles or so and they go to a salvage yard for scrap. I guess I showed Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess.

4. You (and I) are not the target market. :)

5. True since I would never own an EV
