DOGE and White House Squabble Angers Many, Protests Emerge at Over 50 Tesla Stores in the US

BlockBeats News, March 2nd, According to CNN, on Saturday, protesters gathered at more than 50 Tesla showrooms across the United States to protest Tesla CEO Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The protest was part of the "Tesla Takedown" event.

Musk has been leading DOGE since January 20th, and his role has been criticized from the beginning, in part because the agency proposed a "buyout plan" to federal employees while conducting large-scale layoffs, dissolving the United States International Development Agency, and attempting to access sensitive payment systems.

In addition, local media in New York also reported that protesters held a demonstration outside a Tesla dealership in downtown Manhattan. Videos on social media show protesters chanting "Zelensky is a hero." Just a day earlier, a fierce war of words erupted between Ukrainian President Zelensky, U.S. President Trump, and U.S. Vice President Pence, with Musk saying, "Zelensky has destroyed himself in the eyes of the American people."
