  • Outrage over tariffs, government cuts, and layoffs brought protesters out to a Tesla dealership late Friday afternoon in Henrietta on W Henrietta Road. Tesla's largest shareholder is Elon Musk who's faced plenty of criticism lately for actions taken as part of the Department of Government Efficiency.

The article from MSN discusses a protest that took place outside Tesla's facilities in response to recent government decisions affecting the electric vehicle (EV) industry. The U.S. government has imposed new tariffs on imported electric vehicles, which has led to significant backlash from various stakeholders. Additionally, there have been cuts in government subsidies for EV purchases, further fueling discontent among EV advocates and Tesla supporters. Protesters gathered to express their opposition to these policies, arguing that they hinder the growth of sustainable transportation and unfairly burden consumers and manufacturers like Tesla. The demonstration highlights the tension between environmental goals and economic policies, with protesters calling for a reevaluation of these tariffs and subsidies to support the EV market's expansion.
