Protesters Target Tesla and Elon Musk in Portugal Ahead of Snap Election
Dozens of demonstrators gathered at the Tesla showroom in Lisbon on Sunday to protest against CEO Elon Musk's support for far-right parties in Europe as Portugal heads toward a likely snap election. Musk has used his X platform to promote right-wing parties and figures in Germany, Britain, Italy and Romania. The protesters are concerned that Musk's influence could lead to a shift towards authoritarianism in the country.
- As the lines between business and politics continue to blur, it is essential for regulators and lawmakers to establish clear boundaries around CEO activism to prevent the misuse of corporate power.
- Will this protest movement be enough to sway public opinion and hold Tesla accountable for its role in promoting far-right ideologies?
