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.

In New York City, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Manhattan Tesla store, demanding Musk's resignation.

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.
