Ankara: Protesters gathered outside Tesla car dealerships across the US and in parts of Europe to denounce Elon Musk’s continued role in the Trump administration as head of a controversial effort to shrink the government, according to media reports.
According to Anadolu Agency, the protests were organized in response to Musk’s involvement in policies perceived to reduce the size and scope of government operations, a stance that has sparked significant debate and opposition.
The demonstrations took place at multiple Tesla locations, where protesters voiced their concerns about Musk’s influence on governmental restructuring initiatives. Participants expressed their dissatisfaction with Musk’s alignment with the administration’s goals, which they believe could lead to adverse effects on public services and regulatory frameworks.
The protests highlighted the growing tension between Musk’s corporate responsibilities and his political engagements. Demonstrators called for a reassessment of Musk’s role in the administration, urging Tesla and its stakeholders to consider the potential impacts of his government affiliations on the company’s public image and operations.
