Crowds protesting billionaire Elon Musk’s purge of the U.S. government under President Donald Trump began amassing outside Tesla dealerships throughout the U.S. and in some cities in Europe on Saturday.

Hundreds of protestors decrying Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration and his Department of Government Efficiency and a few dozen pro-Musk and pro-Trump counter protestors gathered Saturday at the Tesla dealership in the Easton Town Center,

Organizers say today’s protests will be peaceful, but they are bracing for hostile confrontations with Musk and Trump supporters. Protesters are targeting Tesla because they believe its CEO Elon Musk is using the wealth the company has brought him to fund political actions they view as a threat to democracy.
