WATCH | Musk seen ‘jamming’ on live stream as thousands protest against him and Trump

Elon Musk started a live stream from what seemed like an airplane on Saturday (Apr 5). The billionaire danced, played video games and sang for more than an hour. Meanwhile, a nationwide protest has been taking place against him and US President Donald Trump.

Social media reacts

Several people took to social media, posting videos of DOGE’s head ‘jamming’ to music and seemingly unbothered by protests.

Democrats be like: Let’s run a hate campaign against Elon Musk. Let’s bash him all day in the media, incite violence at Tesla stores, attack DOGE, and send him death threats, this will surely make him feel worried and threatened.

Starlink Wi-Fi

“The world’s fastest, most reliable Wi-Fi in the sky, @Starlink, has officially landed on our first aircraft, with the rest of our fleet to follow,” the airline had announced. It added that over 40 planes a month will have Starlink installed. Their partnership was announced last year.

‘Hands off’ protests

Thousands of people across the United States have flocked to the streets, with posters and chanting slogans in ‘Hands off’ demonstrations. The protests, which are organised by several advocacy groups, condemn the alleged ‘authoritarian overreach and billionaire-backed agenda’ of Trump and Musk. The movement calls for the Trump administration, including Musk, to take their “hands off” of social security, federal jobs, Medicaid and more.
