Elon Musk's Tesla Diner Hit With Inflatable Nazi Protest
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elon Musk's Tesla-themed diner in Hollywood became the scene of an anti-Musk protest on Sunday. Protestors gathered outside the futuristic eatery with balloons resembling Musk that were animated to do Nazi salutes, in reference to a widely-criticized gesture that the tech billionaire made on President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day. Newsweek has contacted Musk for comment via Tesla's press office. The Context The Tesla CEO's new diner opened in Hollywood on Monday, though it has been unable to escape the wave of protests that have followed Musk's signature tech company since his work within the Trump administration. Protestors across the world have targeted Tesla in a reaction to Musk's actions in the Department of Government Efficiency, which the billionaire left in June, and many of those protests have used Nazi imagery after his gesture and support of a right-wing conservative party in last year's German elections. What To Know In images of the protest seen on Musk's own social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, a group of protesters can be seen standing outside the new diner with two balloons that resemble Musk. The inflatables have been made to constantly mimic the gesture Musk made in January, while the protesters hold signs that say, "Boycott Tesla." Well The Paid for and Sponsored by Soros Protesters are at it again at the Tesla diner 🤦♀️ — Susie Pollick 🦌 𝕏. (@nadjiasusie) July 27, 2025 Musk responded to the targeting of his new location on X, saying: "This is obviously a paid attack with no popular support, as it is just a few people with public passersby ignoring them. Only question is who's paying them?" The Tesla Diner on July 11, 2025, in Hollywood, California. The Tesla Diner on July 11, 2025, in Hollywood, California. Getty Images Protests against Tesla peaked in April and May this year, when Musk was at the height of his power in the White House. Since departing, actions against the company's vehicles have died down. Tesla reported its third quarter in a row of declining profits on Thursday, following a disappointing second quarter of 2025 that saw a 16 percent drop in profits. What People Are Saying Elon Musk wrote about the diner's launch on his social media platform X on Monday: "If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long-distance routes. An island of good food, good vibes and entertainment, all while Supercharging!" What Happens Next Musk has indicated that Tesla could expand the Diner & Drive-In format to additional urban centers and select Supercharger locations across the U.S. and globally, if the Hollywood pilot generates enough public interest and income.

Mary Trump Says Uncle Donald ‘Isn't the Problem Anymore'
President Donald Trump's niece believes that while the Jeffrey Epstein files crisis might weaken him, her uncle 'isn't the problem anymore.' Mary L. Trump, 60, an outspoken critic of her father's younger brother, was responding to a question Sunday during an 'Ask Me Anything' Q&A session on X about whether she thought the Epstein files would serve as the 'catalyst for the MAGA movement ending over a period of time.' 'Maybe in the long term, but not in the short term,' Mary said. She added that, in the immediate future, the outrage among Trump's base over his handling of the late sex offender's case weakens him 'considerably.' 'This goes right to the heart of his base,' said the psychologist and author, who in 2020 published a tell-all book on Trump, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man. But she's far less certain about how things will play out in the long haul, even as the Epstein files bring Trump's personal relationship with the convicted sex offender under an intensifying spotlight. 'Even if it implicates him, nobody's going to indict him,' Mary said, alluding to both the fierce loyalty Trump, 79, has cultivated within his administration and the Supreme Court's 2024 ruling that presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted for 'official acts.' She then theorized, 'if it did kind of end his reign of power, J.D. Vance becomes president.' 'We need to remember this, it's really important—I'm not saying this shouldn't all play out, because of course it should,' Mary said. 'What I'm saying is, Donald Trump isn't the problem anymore. That's what I'm saying. And we need to be very, very clear about that.' During his second term, Trump has assembled a team of supporters who have fully embraced his MAGA brand of politics, unlike in his first term, when internal pushback would sometimes curb his most extreme ideas. Mary, a psychologist, said Trump is reenacting their family dynamic—one where his father, Fred Trump, controlled everyone in his orbit. She noted, however, that 'Donald is acting like he's always acted.' 'The arrogance was always there. The insecure defensiveness was always there. The bullying was always there,' she said. Mary also claimed that Trump's wild rant about windmills on Sunday is 'evidence of serious cognitive impairment.' The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

North Korea rejects Seoul's efforts at reconciliation
Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Monday that Pyongyang had "no interest" in Seoul's efforts at improving relations. File Pool Photo by Jorge Silva/EPA-EFE/ SEOUL, July 28 (UPI) -- Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Monday that Pyongyang had "no interest" in efforts by the administration of South Korean President Lee Jae Myung to improve hostile relations between the neighbors. Her statement was the North's first official comment on Lee, who was elected in June after former President Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from office over his botched martial law attempt. "We did not care who is elected president or what policy is being pursued in the ROK and, therefore, have not made any assessment of it so far," Kim said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. The Republic of Korea is the official name of South Korea. Kim said that the new administration's ongoing military ties with Washington made any efforts at rapprochement pointless. "When only the 50-odd days since Lee Jae Myung's assumption to power are brought to light ... their blind trust to the ROK-U.S. alliance and their attempt to stand in confrontation with the DPRK are little short of their predecessor's," Kim said, using the official acronym for North Korea. "We clarify once again the official stand that no matter what policy is adopted and whatever proposal is made in Seoul, we have no interest in it and there is neither the reason to meet nor the issue to be discussed," Kim said. Lee has pledged to improve inter-Korean relations, which have sharply deteriorated in recent years after a period of diplomatic progress in 2018-19. Last month, he suspended propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at the DMZ and cracked down on activists floating balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border. Seoul also recently repatriated six North Koreans who drifted into southern waters on wooden boats several months ago. Kim, however, rejected the administration's gestures in her statement, calling the loudspeaker suspensions "nothing but a reversible turning back of what they should not have done in the first place." "In other words, it is not the work worthy of appreciation," she said. Seoul's Ministry of Unification, which oversees inter-Korean relations, said Kim's remarks showed that Pyongyang is "closely watching the direction of the Lee Jae Myung administration's policy toward North Korea." "The wall of distrust between the South and the North is very high due to the hostile confrontation policy of the past few years," ministry spokesman Koo Byung-sam said at a press briefing on Monday. "The government will not overreact to North Korea's response, but will continue to calmly and consistently pursue efforts to create inter-Korean relations of reconciliation and cooperation and to realize peaceful coexistence on the Korean Peninsula," Koo said. Newly appointed Unification Minister Chung Dong-young emphasized the need to resume dialogue with North Korea when he took office on Friday. "Restoring disconnected communication channels between North and South Korea is an urgent priority for resuming inter-Korean dialogue and quickly restoring trust," Chung said during a visit to the border truce village of Panmunjom inside the DMZ. In her statement, Kim called for the Unification Ministry to be abolished and said that Chung was "spinning a daydream" with reconciliation efforts. "There can be no change in our state's understanding of the enemy and they can not turn back the hands of the clock ... which has radically changed the character of the DPRK-ROK relations," she said. In October, North Korea revised its Constitution to declare the South a "hostile state" after Kim Jong Un called for the rejection of the long-held official goal of reunification.
