A nationwide demonstration took place on Saturday, with protesters gathered outside Tesla dealerships across the country. The demonstrators focused their ire not on President Trump himself, but on his adviser and tech mogul, Elon Musk. Musk has been a key figure in shaping the federal government during his time in the Trump administration.
The protesters were upset over Musk’s efforts to significantly reduce staff in certain departments, citing concerns about the impact on public services. The nationwide protests highlighted the growing discontent among Democrats and some Republicans with Musk’s role in the administration.
