The Tesla Takedown movement has recently celebrated a victory after the release of Tesla’s first quarter earnings for 2025. The group, known for its efforts to hold Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company accountable, is now shifting its focus towards Musk’s other ventures, including SpaceX and Starlink.
Following Tesla’s Q1 2025 results, which fell below expectations, the Tesla Takedown group expressed satisfaction. They believe that their grassroots pressure is starting to impact Tesla’s financial performance. However, it is important to note that Tesla did not have its best-selling car available for sale for most of the quarter due to the transition to the new Model Y.
Despite this, Tesla Takedown reported a high open rate for its post-earnings email, indicating increased engagement with their message. The group also saw a significant increase in new anti-Tesla protests being added to their Action Network page after the earnings release. Additionally, their social media following experienced a notable growth spurt.
Now, Tesla Takedown is expanding its scope beyond Tesla and setting its sights on Musk’s other companies. The group is gearing up to launch similar campaigns against SpaceX, Starlink, and other Musk ventures. They are already laying the groundwork for these efforts, with plans to target a wider range of businesses associated with the billionaire entrepreneur.
As Tesla enters Q2 2025 with all its vehicles available for sale, the impact of Tesla Takedown’s actions on the company and Musk’s reputation will likely become more evident. With a renewed focus on Musk’s other ventures, including the ambitious space exploration projects of SpaceX and the satellite internet service of Starlink, Tesla Takedown is poised to continue its activism in the coming months.
