Protests erupted near the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, with demonstrators calling to "prevent Elon Musk from seizing power" in the country.
Protesters held signs reading "Hands off our money" and "No one elected Elon."
The demonstrators fear that Musk's "economic" decisions could affect their social security, especially after he pledged to eliminate government grants worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The protests followed Musk being granted access to the Treasury Department for exploratory purposes.
