Protesters gathered at a Tesla dealership in Liberty Lake, expressing opposition to Elon Musk and his involvement in political matters. The protest, organized under the banner of ‘Tesla Tuesday,’ drew around 100 participants and featured signs criticizing Musk’s influence on American democracy and government policies. Protesters hope their actions will impact Musk’s financial standing as Tesla’s stock has fallen significantly since Musk was appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite the protests, Tesla continues to benefit from the growing demand for electric vehicles. According to Washington state data, electric vehicle registrations increased by 43% in one year, with Tesla models making up a significant portion of these vehicles. Musk’s venture with DOGE has sparked controversy and disapproval among nearly 50% of Americans, according to a recent poll. — news from The Spokesman Review
