The Nobody Elected Elon protest at the Treasury Department highlighted the mounting frustration among Democrats regarding Elon Musk's influence and Trump's governance. Initially, few lawmakers planned to attend, but growing public outrage led to over two dozen Democratic officials taking the stage. They expressed commitment to oppose Trump's agenda, with activists urging stronger action from Congress. The protest underlined a call for a robust resistance amidst concerns about a constitutional crisis, emphasizing the need for Democrats to adopt more aggressive tactics in their opposition.
