On April 22, two activists from Extinction Rebellion NYC vandalized a Tesla dealership in Manhattan as part of a protest against Elon Musk. They spray-painted messages criticizing Musk, who was appointed by President Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The protest attracted attention from onlookers, and the activists expressed dissatisfaction with Musk’s influential government role. Police apprehended one protester after he humorously acknowledged his offense. Despite being arrested, the protesters used non-damaging paint, emphasizing their anti-Musk sentiments during Earth Day.
The vandalism sought to make a statement against Musk, who President Trump appointed as leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to slash funding and staffing deemed wasteful at numerous government agencies.
Prospective buyers and bystanders looked on with mouths agape as the demonstrators scrawled their messages in green and red spray paint.
Demonstrators took spray cans and began spraying anti-Musk messages over the windows of the dealership, writing DOGE with a cross through it, F**k Elon, and we do not consent.
Activists from Extinction Rebellion NYC performed a surprise protest against Musk outside the Tesla shop, 860 Washington St. in Soho, just after noon on April 22.
