PREVIEW

A protester wears a hat that reads 'ARMY VETERAN' and holds a sign that reads 'NAZI' with an image of Musk making a fascist salute in front of the Tesla Showroom in Manhattans Meatpacking District where NYPD Community Affairs officers guard the door . Demonstrators with the activist group Rise & Resist stage a non-violent protest resulting in staff briefly closing the store. NYPD arrived and set up barricades surrounding the store and eventually forced protesters off the sidewalk stating the area in front of the showroom was a ''frozen zone.'' Protesters call for people to Boycott Tesla and denounce E. Musk. The demonstration joins Tesla Takedown protests happening across the country denouncing DOGE, oligarchy, mass firings, and cuts to social services.
