In San Francisco, the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and O'Farrell Street has become a focal point for protests against Elon Musk's influence in politics, marked by repeated demonstrations at the Tesla dealership. Over 100 protesters recently gathered, expressing opposition to Musk's perceived government overreach. Despite smaller nationwide protests compared to past years, the San Francisco protests reflect a significant gathering of dissent, with local leaders like Patty Moddelmog leading chants and organizing future events. This resurgence indicates a new wave of public resistance centered on corporate power in politics.
More than 100 people gathered - some for their second protest of the week - to chant, wave signs, scare away potential customers and commiserate about the CEO's power grab in the federal government.
The busy intersection is perfect for visibility and for freeing drivers and passersby from their personal echo chambers online.
Musk and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency raids on government agencies have become a rallying point for a backlash to coalesce around.
Moddelmog sees the stances of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as her personal 'gospel' in national politics.
