As part of a larger campaign to raise awareness of environmental issues and voice their displeasure with what they see as destructive influence of billionaires like Elon Musk, a group of climate activists from Last Generation Canada targeted a Tesla dealership in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on March 19, 2025. The protesters severely damaged the building by spraying pink paint on the outside of the building.
Background of the Incident
The incident occurred in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough, where two activists, a young man and woman, were arrested by Montreal police. Last Generation Canada claimed responsibility for the act, stating that they took action because they believe "profit takes priority over life" and that billionaires like Musk are "destroying democracies and spreading climate denial".
Context of the Protest
This act is not unique; rather, it is a part of a broader trend of vandalism and protests against Tesla sites in North America and Europe. Elon Musk's ties to the Trump administration and his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been reducing government spending and programs, have contributed to the reaction against Tesla. Many believe that Musk's actions and political position are detrimental to democratic principles and environmental reasons.
Last Generation Canada's Demands
The climate activist group Last Generation Canada is well-known for its disruptive but nonviolent demonstrations, they call on governments to act quickly to address the climate issue, notably by ratifying a convention that would phase out fossil fuels by 2030. In order to handle ecological concerns, the organization also supports the establishment of a citizens' assembly and a national firefighting agency.
Global Protests Against Tesla
The demonstrations against Tesla are not just taking place in Canada. Numerous instances of damage at Tesla businesses have occurred in the United States; Attorney General Pam Bondi has called some of these attacks "domestic terrorism," these occurrences are part of a larger pushback against Musk perceived environmental hypocrisy and political influence.
Conclusion
The assault on Tesla showroom in Montreal serves as a reminder of escalating hostilities between climate activists and individuals such as Elon Musk, who are perceived to put financial gain before of environmental preservation, argument over corporate accountability and climate action will continue to dominate public conversation as protests continue throughout the world.
