Tesla Takedown Hits Superior, CO as Nationwide Movement Kicks Off – March 1, 2025

You know that feeling when you’ve been in a relationship with a dreamy, charismatic billionaire, only to realize they’re actually an empty shell of a human being—and extremely toxic?

Maybe that’s how Americans felt today. But let’s be real—many saw the toxicity long before the breakup. The relationship with America is over, Elon. You blew it. She doesn’t want you back.

Hundreds gathered in Superior, Colorado, at the Tesla dealership today for the national #TeslaTakedown protest, and the message was loud and clear. Instead of backlash, protesters were met with cheers and supportive honks from passersby, proving just how many people are ready to say goodbye.

The protest remained peaceful, even joyful, as demonstrators sent a message to the world’s most infamous narcissist: It’s over.

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has initiated mass layoffs, over 200,000 federal employees across various federal agencies. Notably, the Department of the Interior saw 2,300 employees dismissed, including 1,000 from the National Park Service, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, has cut 405 employees, with the majority coming from FEMA, while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lost 388 staff members. These abrupt firings have sparked widespread concern about their legality and impact.

As The Hill puts it, Congress needs to put DOGE in a time-out. Marshall Ramsey’s editorial cartoon, “Sorry, Sir,” nails it—Air Force One soars as figures parachute out, with a speech bubble reading, “Sorry, sir, DOGE accidentally fired all the pilots.” It’s a sharp jab at Musk’s reckless mass firings, but the reality isn’t so funny. It’s not just federal workers being tossed out—it’s a gut punch to the entire economy. With key agencies gutted, industries disrupted, and consumer confidence shaken, we’re all in freefall. The question is: Who’s left to land the plane?
