3. SOUNDBITE (English) Judith Barish, Berkeley Resident:
"Although the protest is ostensibly aimed at Elon Musk, I really hope that it will send a message to the Democratic leadership that people are super angry and we want our democratically elected representatives to stand up and take action. And really fight what’s happening in Washington."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Judith Barish, Berkeley Resident:
"I’d like to see some powerful leadership from our congressional representatives. I want them to stand up, I want them to do…you know the kind of thing that AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and Bernie (Sanders) are doing. Getting out there holding rallies, having a really strong message that says this is unacceptable. I think there’s too much of the…message. You know, James Carville has said that Democrats should play dead until the Trump regime implodes. I think that’s ridiculous. Way too much damage is being done to real people."

"People of color, trans folk, gay and lesbian folks, they’re all in deep trouble. The elders are losing their social security and I’m one of those elders too that need my social security. It’s crazy how many people I know that either are out of work or have friends that are out of work, already because of the – help yourself. Because of of the firings that that Musk has done with this DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) crap. It’s a mess. We’re…yeah, we’re living in a fascist state and we need to, we need to stop this. Or we’ll lose our whole country and everything that is good about the United States."

STORYLINE:
Crowds protesting billionaire Elon Musk’s purge of the U.S. government under President Donald Trump began amassing outside Tesla dealerships throughout the U.S. and in some cities in Europe on Saturday in the latest attempt to dent the fortune of the world’s richest man.
The protesters are trying to escalate a movement targeting Tesla dealerships and vehicles in opposition to Musk’s role as the head of the newly created Department of of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, where he has gained access to sensitive data and shuttered entire agencies as he attempts to slash government spending.
The biggest portion of Musk’s estimated $340 billion fortune consists of his stock in the electric vehicle company, which he continues to run while also working alongside Trump.
