Protesters gathered in Schaumburg, Illinois, to condemn Elon Musk’s actions as President, accusing him of endangering democracy. The “Tesla Takedown” movement aims to raise awareness about Musk’s role in cutting wasteful spending at the White House.
Musk now leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has resulted in thousands of federal workers being laid off. Critics argue that his business ties pose conflicts of interest and threaten Social Security and public health. The protest encourages people to sell their Tesla vehicles and dump their Tesla stock.
The movement, which has already drawn hundreds of protests worldwide, plans to stage rallies this weekend in Chicago and the suburbs. As Musk projects $2 trillion in spending cuts by July next year, protesters demand action to mitigate the impact on federal workers and public services.
