Protesters gathered outside Tesla dealerships in New York City and Providence, R.I., on Saturday, to demonstrate against recent actions by President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The events were part of a coordinated protest effort following Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education and Musk’s appointment to lead DOGE.
