Hundreds reportedly turned out to demonstrate outside of a Tesla dealership in Libertyville in protest of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump on Friday.
The protest was organized by the Lake County Democrats and held late Friday afternoon into early Friday evening.
The organization held the protest outside of the Tesla dealership at 1121 South Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville.
“Are you outraged by Elon Musk? Concerned about the attacks on veterans and Social Security while Trump schemes to give away more tax dollars to his billionaire donors?” an advertisement for the protest said.
Lake County Democrats claimed more than 300 people came out in support of their protest.
“More and more people are alarmed and outraged by Musk and Trump, whether it’s hurting veterans, threatening Social Security, or their other extreme right-wing antics,” Lake County Democrats Chair Lauren Beth Gash said.
“Today’s demonstration sends the message loud and clear to Musk, Trump, and cowardly Republican politicians all over: what Musk and Trump are doing is not OK, and voters will not forget,” Gash said.
Police stood by at the scene during the protest, which remained peaceful.
The protest was the second to occur in just over a month at the Libertyville Tesla location.
Lake County Democrats said more than 550 people came out in support of their February 22 protest where approximately 40 supporters of Trump and Musk attended a counter-protest.
