Protests against Elon Musk, the CEO of tesla and SpaceX, have erupted in multiple locations across the United States. As of now, nine demonstrators have been arrested in connection with these protests.

These protests are part of a growing opposition to Musk's influence in various industries, including his role in Washington. Critics of Musk and his companies, such as Tesla and SpaceX, have been organizing anti-Musk activities to express their discontent with his disruptive role in the political landscape.

In Colorado, a woman has been charged by a federal prosecutor in connection with a series of vandalism incidents at Tesla dealerships. The incidents included throwing Molotov cocktails at vehicles and spraying graffiti on buildings with messages such as "Nazi cars." Police have detained nine people in connection with these incidents, but the specific charges against them have not been revealed.

The protests come as Tesla's stock price has dropped by nearly a third since Trump took office, although it remains above last year's levels. Musk's current net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $359 billion, with a projected net worth of $195 billion in 2024.

The protests highlight the growing tension between Musk's supporters and critics, with each side holding differing views on his influence and impact on various industries. As the protests continue, it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve and what impact it will have on Musk's companies and his overall influence in the political and business landscape.
