Activists in Tallahassee joined the national protest movement directed at Elon Musk and the Trump Administration and descended on a local Tesla dealership.

The value of Musk’s Tesla stake has plunged by nearly $80 billion amid the ongoing backlash against his Trump ties and his DOGE role.

Demonstrators encountered opposition from anti-protesters for the first time, contrary to the previous three similar rallies at the state capitol.

The billionaire duo seemed closer than ever after the president’s victory. But now, as Trump’s tariffs cratered the global economy—and threatened Musk’s business empire—the bromance is showing cracks.

In the last week, the US Space Force awarded SpaceX a $5.9 billion deal to make Elon Musk's space company the Pentagon's leading launch provider, and then it assigned the vast majority of this year's most lucrative launch contracts to SpaceX.

Also in this week's blotter, Lyndhurst police arrested a highly intoxicated woman who refused to leave a bar and allegedly broke its women's restroom toilet.
