Protesters gathered at three different Houston area Tesla locations today, taking part in what they called a “peaceful protest” against decisions and gestures made by Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, founder of SpaceX,

By early afternoon, crowds ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of protesters had flocked to Tesla locations in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut,

The plan for a day of mass demonstrations follows a series of violent incidents. Anti-Musk activists have been accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla facilities in Colorado, Nevada and Oregon and defacing Tesla vehicles there, and on Monday, authorities said they found multiple “ incendiary devices ” at a Tesla location in Texas.
