Anti-Musk protests turned violent in Germany's northern city of Verden, where a group of protesters set fire to seven Tesla cars on March 29. Later, in Washington, D.C., demonstrators opposing billionaire Elon Musk protested outside a Tesla dealership on the same day. Protesters held anti-Trump and anti-Musk signs during a global protest day against Tesla and its chief executive. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, opponents have repeatedly staged protests outside Tesla showrooms worldwide.
