Nationwide Protests Target Elon Musk Over Federal Job Cuts

Demonstrations erupt outside Tesla stores across the U.S. as Elon Musk oversees mass layoffs in federal agencies under President Trump's directive.

Protests organized under the banner 'Tesla Takedown' occurred in major cities, including New York, Jacksonville, and Tucson, with demonstrators opposing Musk's role in government job cuts.
Elon Musk, as head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is implementing significant reductions in federal workforce under President Trump's administration.
Since Trump's inauguration, over 100,000 federal employees have accepted severance packages or been laid off, sparking widespread backlash.
Nine individuals were arrested during a protest outside a Tesla showroom in New York, with participants calling for boycotts of Tesla products and stock divestment.
Critics accuse Musk of authoritarian behavior and claim his actions undermine democracy, while neither Tesla nor the White House has issued statements addressing the protests.
