The Vancouver International Auto Show removed Tesla products a day before the slated event over safety concerns.

“The Vancouver Auto Show’s primary concern is the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff,” Eric Nicholl, executive director of the Vancouver Auto International Show said in a statement, according to the outlet Vancouver is Awesome.

“This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event.”

Tesla was reportedly given multiple chances to withdraw from the show, which will welcome exhibitors from Wednesday to Sunday. 

In recent days, some Canadians have engaged in “Tesla Takedown” protests urging patrons to sell their vehicles, ditch their stock and stop CEO Elon Musk from performing his role as a senior adviser to the president and Department of Government Efficiency leader in the Trump administration.

BC Hydro, a Canadian electric utility, has also pulled the company from its electrical vehicle rebate program in an effort to prioritize Canadian goods. 

Musk said he was receiving push back over his attempts to stop fraud and waste.

He  told Fox News’s Sean Hannity Tuesday night that “when you take away people’s … fraud, the money they’re receiving fraudulently, they get very upset, and they basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud.” 

The tech giant added, “And they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things.” 

His comments come as some Tesla dealerships within the U.S. have been set on fire and vandalized.

The Hill has reached out to Tesla and the Vancouver International Auto Show for comment.
