Three nonprofits organize post-election protest outside Musk’s Texas home
Three nonprofits organized a post-election gathering outside Elon Musk’s Texas home in West Lake Hills, near Austin, Texas.
The event was called the “People Over Billionaires Election After Party,” and participants arrived on two chartered buses and in other vehicles.
Organizers played music, gave speeches and held activities including a conga line and dancing around Cybertruck-shaped piñatas.
The three groups reported combined revenue of $56.1 million in 2024, according to their latest tax filings.
They have also helped lead Tesla Takedown protests, which have opposed Musk and his companies.
The gathering was described as peaceful, though the story notes concerns from researchers that polarizing protest rhetoric can contribute to political violence.
The organizers did not respond to requests for comment, and no further plans were given.
