(WND)—Were the weekend “Hands Off!” demonstrations protesting President Donald Trump and his DOGE leader Elon Musk authentic?
Videos emerging on social media are casting doubt, as some of the protesters apparently had no idea why they were there.
On Saturday, as the Associated Press reported, the events “were organized for more than 1,200 locations in all 50 states by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists.”
“Thousands of protesters in cities dotting the nation from Midtown Manhattan to Anchorage, Alaska, including at multiple state capitols, assailed Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, immigration and human rights. On the West Coast, in the shadow of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, protesters held signs with slogans like ‘Fight the oligarchy.’ Protesters chanted as they took to the streets in Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles, where they marched from Pershing Square to City Hall.”
But videos posted on social media suggest the events were artificial, with people being paid and bussed-in, with little idea about the reason for their presence.
Journalist Mario Nawfal said they were “staged & paid – bussed-in, scripted, clocked-out.”
“The anti-Elon, anti-DOGE, anti-Trump protests in D.C.? They aren’t grassroots. They are payroll-driven theater.
“- Buses rolled in packed with hired protesters.
“- Pre-made signs handed out assembly-line style.
“- Scripts distributed to keep messaging “on brand.”
“- Protesters all left at once—just like a shift change.
“The protests are organized astroturf—NGO-backed, donor-funded, and as fake as their outrage.
“It’s a union of grifters and bureaucrats trying to stop Elon from cutting off their taxpayer-funded gravy train.”
Alot of people are going to be talking about the anti- Elon Musk, DOGE and Donald Trump protests yesterday

He also noted: “TESLA PROTESTERS PAID UP TO $200 BY INDIVISIBLE.”
“A now-deleted webpage published by the organization offered to pay groups up to $200 to stage protests against Tesla and Elon.”
Musk himself reacted to comments and videos posted by others such as the Western Lensman, who noted: “They have no clue why they are there, and they have no clue what their signs even mean.”
Musk said of one protester: “He had to read the paper he was given to understand the sign he was holding.”

He added: “The problem is the puppetmasters, not the puppets, as the latter have no idea why they are even there.”

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani posted: “Protesters hold up signs and symbols portraying Elon Musk as a literal Nazi, yet they cannot articulate why. They resort to yelling, screaming, intimidation and censorship.”

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
Don’t just take our word for it. Thousands of freedom-loving families have already ditched the old system for America First. “Finally, insurance that aligns with our values and actually saves us money,” shares one client. Another raves, “Our small team got big-business perks without the hassle—it’s a game-changer.” These aren’t scripted lines; they’re the voices of patriots who’ve reclaimed control over their health destiny.
