WARMINSTER, PA —The Bucks County Democratic Committee is planning another protest of Elon Musk at the county's only Tesla dealership later this month.

Nancy Sherlock, the president of Morrisville's Democratic Committee, told Patch on Tuesday that the party is planning another protest at the York Road dealership after staging one late last month.

"He's not a popular person, but he's still got a big voice," Sherlock said of Musk, who has been placed in charge by President Donald Trump of making deep cuts to federal government departments, leading to hundreds of layoffs since the president took office on Jan. 20.

Sherlock said the protest is planned for Saturday, March 22.

"It's at the same place for those who didn't make it the first time," said Sherlock, who attended the first rally two weeks ago. "We want to send a message that Musk is self-serving and see that his Tesla stocks keep dropping."

Bucks County's only Tesla dealership served as the stage in late February for a protest by members of the Warminster Township and Bucks County Democratic organizations against President Trump and Musk over slashing federal government jobs.

Party members gathered along York Road to display signs against the moves by Musk, who owns Tesla, in his direction by Trump in leading DOGE. (The Department of Government Efficiency.)

The signs showed Tesla with a symbol of Nazi Germany underneath in regards to criticism Musk received when he made a greeting that looked similar to a Nazi salute recently.

Other signs stated that Musk has no business belonging in the government, that he needs to be stopped from feeding fascism, and that DOGE needs to show transparency.

Warminster Township Supervisors Chairman Kenneth Hayes told Patch Wednesday that the first protest was peaceful and that the police department did not report any incidents.

"There were no issues," Hayes said. "Everything was peaceful. They're exercising their constitutional rights. We have a lot of angry people these days."
