Protests Erupt at SpaceX as Fury Over U.S. Budget Cuts Grows
Demonstrators gathered outside SpaceX headquarters in Los Angeles to protest proposed federal budget cuts that would reduce funding for social safety net programs. The protest, which drew hundreds of participants, was part of a broader wave of national dissent against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a policy initiative led by Elon Musk and backed by President Donald Trump.
Protesters voiced anger over cuts affecting healthcare, childcare, and public services, accusing corporate billionaires of influencing government policies to their advantage. Similar demonstrations have taken place across the country, including large gatherings at national parks following the dismissal of 1,000 National Park Service employees and a protest at NOAA offices in Colorado against agency layoffs.
As tensions escalated, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned recent acts of vandalism targeting Tesla properties, announcing that the Department of Justice has charged several individuals in connection with the incidents. Meanwhile, Musk dismissed the protests, downplaying the backlash in a televised interview.
