Alarmed by the havoc the Tesla CEO has wreaked in the US, Britons and Americans are showing their displeasure

Blaring car horns on the three-lane A40 in west London are nothing new. However, on Saturday, they weren't aimed at other drivers for a change; instead it was Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, who was the target of their anger as part of the "Takedown Tesla" movement, which has spread from the United States.

"It's too overwhelming to do nothing," said Louise Cobbett-Witten, who has family in the US. "There is real solace in coming together like this, everyone has to do something. We haven't got a big strategy besides just standing on the side of the street, holding signs and screaming."
