Many demonstrators have expressed their concern about Musk’s famous position in the new administration, with some chanting: “Deport Elon!” Musk, head of Tesla’s billionaire, leads the Ministry of Government Efficiency, the newly formed agency responsible for mass cuts and other contradictory abbreviations.
“He is similar to another Michael Cohen, performing equally insufficient action against the US population,” said Mel Gardner of Mercer County, citing a former Trump lawyer, often depicted as his retainer. “This is an extraordinary injustice inflicted on the American people.”
Claude Strulz from Jacobstown echoed this feeling.
“It is absurd that he can appoint people who have not been chosen to hold power over our nation,” Stulz said. “Our country is becoming a fascist regime.”
Mike Pecarofsky, a history instructor at the College of Essex County, expressed his fears regarding the role of the government as a defender of the population, which he believes “worsens” with Trump and Musk, increasingly favorable corporate interests.
“I am worried about democracy, about the republic and I cannot get rid of the feeling that we are taken over by someone who has not been selected,” Pacarophski noted.
Lake added that many of Musk’s abbreviations are opposed to logic, given his confession to reduce government waste. In her role as a policy analyst focused on the nutrition of children, she works on improving surgery to provide nutritional dishes to students.
“I view this as a wasteful data censorship. It is wasteful to dismantle the current research initiatives, “she said.
The worries have expanded beyond Musk, with posters, chants and a megaphone speaker who deals with problems, including LGBTQ rights, Palestine and immigration.
“Silence is violence! Silence is observance! ” – the protesters called out. “Stop the stupid! Stop the coup! “
Gloria Materman from Manalapanan found a challenge to articulate exactly what motivates her to demonstrate.
“Where do you start at all? It’s just everything. I think he wakes up every day thinking, “How can I fuck something?” She said. “Our values, our morals and our position in the global community are simply deteriorating. We are focusing on isolation, which is not the way the world works. So I do this for my children, my grandchildren and I hope for our future. “
