A man drove his car into protesters outside a Tesla dealership<\/a><\/span> in Palm Beach County, Florida, but did not injure any of those who had gathered to demonstrate against billionaire Elon Musk<\/a><\/span> and President Donald Trump over the weekend, according to law enforcement. <\/p>\n

The planned protest was one of a slew across the U.S.<\/a><\/span> at businesses associated with Tesla, the company led by Musk, in response to the billionaire’s work with the Trump administration in cutting federal funding and the workforce. <\/p>\n

Attacks on property carrying the logo of Elon Musk’s electric car company are cropping up across the U.S. and overseas. Several more violent incidents include Cybertrucks<\/a><\/span> being set on fire in Seattle and shots fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon. <\/p>\n

The protest on Saturday was interrupted when Andrew Dutil drove his vehicle onto the sidewalk full of protesters at a slow speed, forcing people to scramble out of the way to avoid being hit, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Dutil was arrested and faces an assault charge, according to court records. An attorney who could speak on Dutil’s behalf wasn’t immediately listed in court records.<\/p>\n

Palm Beach County is also home to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which the president has called the “Center of the Universe” on social media. Trump and Musk \u2014 through the Department of Government Efficiency<\/a><\/span> \u2014 have begun dismantling government agencies and programs and laying off staff in the name of culling government waste, fraud and abuse.<\/p>\n
