Video. Extinction Rebellion stages Earth Day protest outside Tesla showroom

Updated:

Climate activists held a demonstration outside a Tesla dealership in Manhattan on Earth Day, criticising Elon Musk and his involvement in the recently formed Department of Government Efficiency in the US.

Protesters from Extinction Rebellion spray-painted slogans on the building on Tuesday, including a crossed-out reference to 'DOGE' and messages opposing billionaire influence on climate policy. The group voiced concerns about what they described as profit-driven environmental damage.

In a statement, the climate activist group urged the public to challenge current political and economic approaches and called for alternative solutions to address the climate crisis.

Two people were arrested during the protest.
