Hands Off Movement Gains Momentum with Nationwide Protests Against Trump and Musk

The 'Hands Off' movement has surged across the United States, rallying against the actions and policies of former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Protests, which began in Washington D.C., have now spread to cities nationwide, drawing massive crowds and significant media attention.

Organizers of the 'Hands Off' rallies emphasize their opposition to what they perceive as overreaches by Trump and Musk in various sectors, including politics and technology. The movement has been particularly vocal about Musk's involvement with cryptocurrencies, notably Dogecoin, which has been a point of contention among protesters.

In Washington D.C., the protest saw thousands of participants chanting slogans and holding signs that read 'Hands Off Our Future' and 'No More Musk Madness.' Similar scenes were reported in other major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, where local groups have tailored their messages to address regional concerns while maintaining the core theme of resistance.

The widespread nature of these protests underscores a growing public sentiment against influential figures like Trump and Musk, reflecting broader societal anxieties about their impact on democracy and economic stability.
