Fight to stop Tesla project in South Australia to continue after council approval

An anonymous group of Adelaide activists will keep fighting to stop Elon Musk’s Tesla from setting up a battery factory in the suburbs. Tesla has been targeted globally by protesters furious at Musk’s work with the Trump administration, and at his ideology which the billionaire often espouses through his social media platform, X. This week that anger boiled over in the South Australian capital, half a world away from Washington DC. About 95% of the nearly 1,000 submissions were opposed to a proposal to build a Tesla showroom and battery recycling and repurposing factory. Many expressed “anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk sentiment”.
