Democratic activists are planning a protest campaign this week against tech billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk outside offices of lawmakers and Tesla dealerships.
The campaign aims to counter the Trump administration’s efforts to gut federal health, education, and human services agencies.
Led by Indivisible, a coalition of Democrats and progressives, the campaign aims to fight Musk’s rise as a top President Trump official and his controversial handling of the federal bureaucracy.
Ezra Levin, co-founder of the group, called Musk “a major weak link in the MAGA coalition.”
“I can’t think of something that polls worse than the richest man in the world is coming after your Social Security check or your Meals on Wheels or your Head Start,” he said.
Indivisible has more than 1,300 local chapters across the country. The group is calling on its members to protest at the offices of their members of Congress against Musk’s role.
The group provided instructions for protesting at Tesla dealerships, the electric car company owned by Musk.
The instructions advised protesters to demonstrate peacefully on sidewalks and public areas, avoiding actions that could disrupt business, like blocking entrances or entering private property.
“This is about Musk’s political takeover, not Tesla, SpaceX, or X as companies,” it told its supporters.
