White House special adviser Elon Musk said that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is hurting the stock price of his electric vehicle company, Tesla, amid protests and vandalism.

His role in the White House and DOGE, which President Donald Trump created via executive order in January, has drawn significant protests across the country at Tesla dealerships and charging locations. Some people have also vandalized or attempted to destroy Tesla vehicles or company property, resulting in federal charges against three individuals this month.
