When protesters attempted to enter the plant, police used pepper spray against them.

“There is more to it than meets the eye. Something weird is going on,” the tech billionaire posted on X.

He further said that something "very strange" was going on, as "Tesla was the only car company that was attacked."

According to Disrupt, the coalition of anti-capitalist groups organizing the protest, it said in a statement on its website that 800 activists participated in the protest at the Tesla Gigafactory site as part of Disrupt Tesla Actio Days.

Police said they prevented protesters from entering the Tesla factory Tesla has closed the plant for the safety of employees.

The Tesla CEO also said that the protesters did not succeed in breaking the fence line.

“There are still two intact fence lines around the factory,” he said.

According to Disrupt, Tesla's plan to more than double production in Europe "would harm the local environment" as it would "require clearing nearby forest and put further strain on local water supplies."
