World’s largest ‘Don’t buy a Tesla’ protest unfolds on Welsh beach with Elon Musk’s Nazi salute carved into the sand

A dramatic anti-Elon Musk demonstration took place on a Welsh beach this week, when a Tesla driver drew the largest-ever "Don't Buy a Tesla" message in the sand, as per a report.

World’s Largest Anti-Elon Musk Protest

The 250-meter-long message, including a silhouette of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's notorious "Nazi salute" gesture during Trump's Inauguration Day, was cut out on Black Rock Sands at Porthmadog, Wales, reported Daily Mail.

How the Message Was Created

The protest, organized by the British political campaign group Led By Donkeys, saw a Tesla Model 3 used to rake the message into the sand,according to Daily Mail. The vehicle, attached to a massive rake, was driven in a sweeping motion across the beach, creating the striking visual display, as per the report.


The group claims the protest, stretching 250 meters by 150 meters, is the largest anti-Elon Musk demonstration to date, reported Daily Mail.

'Don't buy a Tesla'

The driver, named Prama, who owned her Tesla for six years and is selling her car now, revealed that she was first concerned when Musk began taking a position with extreme far-right politics, the Daily Mail reported. She explained, "When he started getting on to the ticket of the extreme far-right, that's when I started thinking I'm not sure I should be driving a Tesla," as quoted in the report. Prama emphasized that, "Please, don't buy a Tesla," as quoted by Daily Mail.

The Led By Donkeys organization asserted that, "Like thousands of others, Prama is selling her Tesla in response to Musk's embrace of the global far-right," as quoted in the report.

Global Protests and Attacks Continue

The protest is part of numerous public criticisms against Musk, whose political leanings have been a concern.

The incident occurs as tensions regarding Tesla and Musk's politics are increasing. Tesla vehicles and the properties involved have been attacked worldwide, as per reports. In New York, a Cybertruck owner was appalled to discover a man drawing a swastika on his $80,000 electric truck, reported Daily Mail. The attacker, identified as Michael Lewis later, was arrested after being stopped by the truck owner and police, as per the report.

While in Belfast, a Tesla showroom was attacked, with some 20 cars vandalized on Sunday, as per Daily Mail. The cars were broken mirrors, smashed windshields, and dented bodywork, all adding to the anger against the car firm and its unpopular chief executive, according to the report.
