Thousands protest Elon Musk over political involvement

Thousands of people protested against Elon Musk outside Tesla dealerships across the U.S. in response to his political involvement. Some protests turned destructive, with incidents of vandalism and property damage reported. Tesla's stock fell 7% in February and has dropped 40% year-to-date, making it the worst-performing tech stock. Vehicle deliveries also declined, with a significant drop in sales for certain models. The protests coincide with Musk's leadership of a government efficiency initiative that has led to significant layoffs. Despite the unrest and financial challenges, some investors remain optimistic about Tesla's future in autonomous vehicle development.
