Anti-Elon Musk, Tesla boycott wave spreads across the US
On March 1, protesters gathered outside Tesla stores across the US to protest the carmaker’s billionaire boss Elon Musk and his move to cut government spending on behalf of President Trump.
Critics of Trump and Musk hope to discourage people from buying Tesla cars and boycott them. In recent weeks, liberal groups have staged anti-Tesla protests in hopes of stoking opposition to Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and energizing Democrats still disheartened by Trump’s landslide victory in November.
Musk’s opponents argue that his actions run counter to Congress’s power to control the federal budget and that he has many ways to enrich himself.
Musk owns the aerospace company SpaceX, the car company Tesla, the social media platform X, and several other businesses.
Since Musk took over as head of DOGE, there have been concerns that he could use his power for personal gain.watch below
