San Diegans once again rally outside Tesla dealerships across the county
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Part of ongoing protests in opposition to 'funding cuts and the actions of Trump and Musk,' the Tesla Takedown movement once again organized rallies at Tesla dealerships on Saturday. Protests took place across the country and world, with at least three happening in San Diego County.
Here in San Diego, the Tesla Takedown Action Network coordinated three separate protests across the county on Saturday — outside the UTC Westfield Mall in La Jolla, at the Tesla Dealership in Encinitas and outside the Tesla Showroom in Carlsbad.

Police vehicles could be seen nearby the San Diego protests to monitor as crowds held signs with various messages like 'make lying wrong again' and 'boycott Tesla,' while some had messages that were more vulgar.
The Tesla Takedown website lists another protest at the Chula Vista Tesla Showroom set for 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 5.

Jim Cramer Says, 'Jensen Makes a Very Compelling Case When He Argues That We Should Let NVIDIA (NVDA) Sell Those Chips to the Chinese'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently. A caller inquired about Cramer's thoughts on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA). Here is what he said: 'I think Jensen makes a very compelling case when he argues that we should let NVIDIA sell those chips to the Chinese because otherwise China will indeed invest much more heavily in their own semiconductor industry. Wouldn't it be better to blunt China's efforts to leapfrog us and keep them dependent on our chips, the same way we're depending on their rare earth minerals? Sadly, the White House says no. I think it makes a ton of sense.' NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops advanced computing, graphics, and networking solutions, offering products and software for AI, gaming, data centers, robotics, and automotive technologies. On May 13, Cramer said that President Trump's policy shift initially hurt the company, but later boosted its stock by opening up major new markets, as he said: 'As those who shorted the market now realize, the President's pivot was wildly bullish for the very companies that had previously been hit the hardest. Take NVIDIA. On the one hand, Trump effectively forced NVIDIA to take a $5.5 billion charge for chips it could no longer sell to China. On the other hand, he's now out there helping NVIDIA sell chips to some of the biggest clients in the world, the Gulf monarchies. NVIDIA stock has made a historic comeback [buy, buy, buy]… It's a big deal for the Saudis because they weren't on the arbitrary, capricious list of 18 friendly countries that President Biden approved to buy NVIDIA's best technology. Now, instead of 18 friends, we got a whole bunch of friends that can buy NVIDIA's top chips. I see many new mini hyperscale or sovereign AI countries developing.'

Tesla stock slumps as Musk ramps up attacks on Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill: 'KILL the BILL'
Tesla (TSLA) stock slumped Wednesday in the immediate fallout of the very public policy blowout between President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which Musk himself amped up on Wednesday. "Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL," Musk posted on X. Musk added early Wednesday morning, "If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else!" The comments come after the one-time leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) angrily posted on Tuesday, "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination." "Shame on those" who voted for it in the House, he said. Musk's rhetoric on Trump and the Republican-backed "big, beautiful bill" ramped up recently with Musk's comments to "CBS News Sunday Morning" and hit detonation levels with the now two-day barrage. It comes as the bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, with a Congressional Budget Office estimation of its impact on the deficit adding fuel to Musk's line of argument. The nonpartisan office projected the House-passed version of the bill would add $2.4 trillion to deficits over the next 10 years. The formerly Musk-led DOGE itself has come under criticism for not producing the amount of budgetary cuts Musk touted it could find, and the cuts it has produced have been deeply unpopular. Musk's closeness to the Trump administration had been seen as a boon for Tesla, given its range of business with SpaceX and NASA and the regulatory levers NHTSA could pull with getting autonomous driving rules in place for Tesla's robotaxi testing.

Tesla's big robotaxi test is slated for June 12 in Austin. Much of the company's value is tied to whether it can fully unlock autonomous driving for robotaxi purposes and individual owners. Meanwhile, Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Waymo continues to plow ahead and is essentially the leader in the space, accumulating 250,000 robotaxi trips per week. Also driving the news today is Tesla's bread-and-butter automotive business, where new sales reports from international regions have been mostly negative. A longtime bright spot, however, is Australia. Australian publication Drive reported that Tesla had 3,897 vehicle deliveries in May, its highest sales total in nearly a year. The refreshed Model Y powered those sales with 3,580 units sold, up 122.5% from a year ago, and total deliveries up 9.3%. Interestingly, Tesla's year-to-date sales are still down 48.2% in Australia. Model 3 sedan sales were down 83.8% in May. But May's strong sales of the updated Model Y may be an indicator of more positive news to come for the EV maker, which is still the top EV seller in the country. On the flip side, research firm New AutoMotive group reported that Tesla UK registrations in May tumbled 45% to 1,758 units. Meanwhile, overall UK car registrations rose 4.3%, and China rival BYD's sales more than doubled in May to 1,388 units, though both figures include gas-powered and hybrid autos. The UK's results follow the negative trends in Europe, where May sales in major regions like France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Spain slumped lower. Only Norway and Austria saw Tesla sales gains in the month. Pras Subramanian is a reporter for Yahoo Finance. You can follow him on X and on Instagram.
