Ever since Donald Trump became the president, Elon Musk seemed to be basking in the glory of his position in the government. He is not an elected official, nor was he confirmed by the Senate. Yet, Trump gave Elon Musk a lot of power and authority over federal departments and employees.
Elon Musk fired thousands of people. He literally crippled departments like the FAA and SSA. His decisions did not sit well with many. There have been protests and rallies against him. There is a widespread boycott against his Tesla cards. People have stopped buying Teslas, and the stores are being vandalized and burned down.
A 12-foot statue of Elon Musk was recently vandalized. The bust was placed close to SpaceX’s Starbase facility in South Texas.
This act of vandalism drew national attention to the relationship between politics, corporate power, and public discontent. This was in response to Musk’s policies and his interference with social security.
Thousands of people nationwide were participating in the synchronized Hands-Off! Demonstrations.
