Organizers have called for "Hands Off!" protests nationwide to protest against Trump, Musk's DOGE. Here's where in NJ and learn more.

Elon Musk's plan for a 1950's-style diner and drive-in theater with charging stations in Hollywood has received renewed attention amid backlash.

Two years ago, the Tesla leader and DOGE chief began to build a diner and drive-in theater in Los Angeles. Then he became a political lightning rod.

Hundreds of protesters rallied again outside the Tesla showroom in the Meatpacking District. Six were arrested for refusing to leave the showroom.

The plan for a day of mass demonstrations follows a series of violent incidents. Anti-Musk activists have been accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla facilities in Colorado, Nevada and Oregon and defacing Tesla vehicles there, and on Monday, authorities said they found multiple “ incendiary devices ” at a Tesla location in Texas.

Brad Lander, the comptroller, said Elon Musk’s actions on behalf of the Trump administration had hurt Tesla’s stock price.

Protests erupted in the US and Europe demanding Elon Musk's resignation from his government role. Demonstrations were organized by environmental activists, Tesla customers, and political figures highlighting concerns over Musk's influence and Tesla's declining product quality.

Those shareholders include the five New York City pension funds, for which Lander is custodian. Their aggregate value of Tesla common stock fell to $831 million on March 28 vs. $1.3 billion on Dec. 31. Total pension system assets are $284.3 billion.

Protesters are trying to escalate a movement targeting Tesla dealerships and vehicles in opposition to Elon Musk's role in DOGE.

Peaceful protesters assembled Monday outside a Tesla dealership north of New York City to criticize Elon Musk and his Department ... and graffiti at locations in Massachusetts and Maryland.
