Protests against Musk erupt in multiple locations across the United States

ChainCatcher News: Protests against Musk have erupted in multiple locations across the United States, part of a growing backlash in North America and Europe against Musk's disruptive role in Washington.

Critics of Trump and Musk hope to oppose Musk, the leader of the world's most valuable automaker, by targeting and attacking Tesla's purchases. Liberal groups have organized anti-Tesla protests for weeks, aiming to stir up opposition to Musk and motivate Democrats who still feel frustrated after Trump's victory last November.

Federal prosecutors have charged a woman in connection with a series of incidents involving vandalism at Tesla dealerships in Colorado, including throwing Molotov cocktails at vehicles and spray-painting "Nazi cars" on buildings. Police reported that nine people were detained but did not disclose the charges they face.

Since Trump took office, Tesla's stock price has fallen by nearly a third, although it remains above levels from a year ago. According to Forbes, Musk's current net worth is estimated at $359 billion, with a projected net worth of $195 billion in 2024.
