Protests erupted at Tesla dealerships nationwide as demonstrators opposed CEO Elon Musk's role in President Trump's administration, particularly his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to reduce federal spending and workforce. Critics argue these actions undermine congressional authority and primarily benefit Musk. The "Tesla Takedown" movement has organized over 100 protests, urging boycotts of Tesla products and stock sales to economically impact Musk. Notably, nine individuals were arrested at a New York City Tesla dealership protest. Some Tesla vehicles have been vandalized, raising concerns about rising antisemitism. Despite these events, Musk's net worth remains substantial, estimated at $359 billion.
