Protests against Tesla in the US have erupted following the call by President Donald Trump for a complete reduction of federal labor forces. Trump announced that he plans to buy a new Tesla car to support the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, amid recent protests under the slogan "Dump Tesla," which led to a sharp decline in the company's stock prices.
Around 350 protesters took to the streets near the Tesla electric vehicle dealership in Portland, Oregon last week, while at the same time nine people were arrested during noisy demonstrations outside a Tesla dealer in New York City at the beginning of March. Musk runs the so-called Ministry of Efficiency, and his decisions provoke discontent in certain circles of society.
