Protesters rally against Elon Musk’s actions in the Trump administration at a Tesla showroom in New York, US, on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025. Elon Musk is facing the most direct legal challenge to date over the role he’s assumed in the US government, with Democratic state officials and federal employees claiming that President Donald Trump has unconstitutionally delegated vast powers to the billionaire.
Protests erupted at Tesla showrooms across the US. In Seattle, demonstrators staged a “TeslaTakedown” against Elon Musk, who’s spearheading a new initiative under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and recently joined President Trump at the White House as part of sweeping federal spending cuts.
Meanwhile in New York, protesters rallied against what they call Musk’s overreach in government—a move that has ignited the most direct legal challenge to his new role, with critics accusing President Trump of unlawfully delegating vast powers to the billionaire.
