Over 200 people gathered and chanted in front of Westbury’s Tesla dealership around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, holding signs with slogans like “Stop Musk,” “Defend democracy,” and “Hands off our government.” They were met with frequent supportive honks and cheers from drivers passing by throughout the hour and half they stood along Corporate Drive.
