A 70-year-old man was arrested after allegedly driving his car into a man exiting a truck with “Trump flags” displayed on his vehicle. 

The incident happened in Meridian, Idaho, during a protest at a Tesla dealership on Saturday afternoon. Two groups converged on the location to engage in demonstrations. One group reportedly included about 30 anti-Tesla protesters, who voiced their displeasure with Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his role at the Department of Government Efficiency. In the second group, there were approximately 200 counterprotesters, who supported Musk, Tesla, and DOGE’s efforts.
