  • At Tesla Takedown protests in Michigan hundreds of people gathered to voice their concerns about the new administration.

The article discusses two Tesla takedown protests in Michigan, focusing on the unexpected demographic of attendees. Contrary to expectations, the protests were not dominated by young, tech-savvy individuals or environmental activists but by older generations, particularly Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. These protesters were motivated by concerns over Tesla's labor practices, including the company's resistance to unionization efforts by the United Auto Workers (UAW). The piece highlights the generational shift in activism, where older individuals, possibly influenced by their own experiences with labor movements, are stepping up to support workers' rights in the face of modern corporate challenges. The protests underscore a broader narrative about labor rights, corporate accountability, and the evolving nature of protest movements in America.
