‘Hey, hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go’: 277 Tesla locations targeted in US protests demanding for Elon Musk’s resignation
Protests erupted across the United States and parts of Europe on March 30, 2025, as demonstrators gathered outside 277 Tesla dealerships, demanding Elon Musk’s resignation from his government role. Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been accused by critics of using his position to influence policy, cut government spending, and access sensitive data. The demonstrations, organized by environmental activists, Tesla customers, and political figures, mark a significant moment in the growing public backlash against Musk’s involvement in governance.
The coordinated protests reflect mounting concerns about Musk’s influence on both the private and public sectors. While some demonstrators focused on Musk’s political role, others voiced frustration over Tesla’s declining product quality and alleged anti-union practices.
