There was a mad-as-hell-can’t-take-it-anymore moment for every one of the dozen or so sign-waving protesters who stood on the side of busy Route 30 in suburban Devon on a brisk but brightly sunny Saturday morning, urging motorists to boycott billionaire Elon Musk and his Tesla showroom directly behind them.

For Matt DeCarlo, a 39-year-old social worker from Conshohocken, it was watching Musk — currently taking a chainsaw, both figuratively and literally, to the federal government as a bizarre kind of copresident to Donald Trump — give what to all the world looked like a Nazi salute at a rally on the day of Trump’s inauguration.
“It’s the constant Hitler salutes,” DeCarlo told me, as passing motorists on the busy commercial strip honked their support in the background. “My family is half Italian and half Jewish, and we were told to remember — to remember what happens when they come for marginalized people. It’s really hard to turn away from."
