Nationwide Protests Erupt Against Elon Musk's Government Influence

Recent protests against Elon Musk have erupted across the U.S., highlighting concerns over his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his perceived influence on federal policy. Whoopi Goldberg criticized Musk on 'The View', asserting that he was never elected and questioning his authority to implement significant cuts in government spending. Meanwhile, protesters gathered at the U.S. Capitol and in New York City, chanting against Musk's influence and labeling his actions as an 'administrative coup'. Activists fear that Musk's unchecked power could undermine democratic values and civilian jobs. These demonstrations reflect a growing backlash from various groups, including grassroots organizations and federal employees, demanding legislative action to limit Musk's authority. Organizers emphasize the importance of public vigilance as they plan future protests in response to perceived authoritarianism.
