The demonstration outside of Tesla, which is owned by Musk, was one of numerous nationwide Saturday. The protesters were speaking out against Musk’s position near the top of the Trump administration, from which he has sought to transform the scope and shape of the federal government, cutting staff heavily in certain departments.

Tesla’s financial tale, however, has taken a turn since Trump took the oath of office with Tesla stock down over 17% since Jan. 21, as of midday Friday. Just weeks before the inauguration, Tesla reported the first full-year drop in global sales in its history as a public company, according to a report from CNN.
