Protesters target Elon Musk's Austin home after midterm elections
The 'People Over Billionaires Election After Party' featured music, speeches and Cybertruck-themed piñatas in West Lake Hills, Texas.
Protesters held a demonstration at Elon Musk's property in West Lake Hills, Texas, on Saturday. According to the Times of India, the event was titled the 'People Over Billionaires Election After Party' and was organised by three groups: VOCAL-TX, the Center for Popular Democracy, and People's Action.
Participants arrived in two chartered Fly-Rides party buses. The gathering included music, speeches and theatrical Cybertruck piñatas, while some protesters displayed a poster stating 'I AM STEALING FROM YOU'.
The demonstration comes as Musk faces potential congressional scrutiny following the Democrats' midterm election victory. California Representative Robert Garcia, who is expected to chair the House Oversight Committee in January, said investigations into Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are likely.
Garcia told CNN on Sunday that there is interest across various congressional committees to question Musk regarding his involvement in the dismissal of federal workers last year.
Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the administration is prepared to challenge investigations targeting its officials and allies. Blanche said that anyone working in the administration has legal support.
