Tesla Protests Continue in Camarillo Over Mass Layoffs, Musk’s Role in DOGE

KEYT on May 5, 2025

Allison Winslow

CAMARILLO, Calif. — Saturday protests continue outside Tesla dealerships, including a regular demonstration in front of the Tesla showroom in Camarillo, visible from U.S. Highway 101.

The protests are part of the growing “Tesla Takedown” movement, which has gained momentum worldwide with coordinated demonstrations at Tesla dealerships and facilities. Protesters are voicing opposition to Elon Musk’s leadership of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has implemented mass federal layoffs.

The movement has sparked protests in more than 200 locations across the United States, Canada and Europe.

Demonstrators in Camarillo said they are also frustrated with the Trump administration and Musk’s support for far-right political movements. Many of the participants also took part in May Day rallies earlier in the week and say they plan to return next weekend.

The backlash is also taking a toll on Tesla’s global business. In April 2025, Tesla reported sharp year-over-year sales declines across several European markets — down 81% in Sweden, 74% in the Netherlands, 59% in France, and 36% in Spain, despite a surge in overall EV sales in that country. Analysts attribute the drop to growing political criticism and rising competition from Chinese automakers such as BYD.

Amid mounting pressure, Musk has announced plans to scale back his involvement with DOGE to refocus on Tesla. Still, despite reports suggesting the company’s board may be seeking a successor, both Musk and Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm have denied those claims.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a stabbing which left one man dead.

YPD says they responded to the area of S. Madison Avenue and E. 28th Street at around 10:20 p.m. Sunday after receiving reports of an aggravated assault.

After officers arrived, YPD says they found a 30-year-old man near a driveway with a stab wound. The man was taken to Onvida Health where he later died.

Neighbors say the stabbing is highly unusual for the area.

“This is the first time ever that someone’s been stabbed or murdered in this neighborhood,” said local resident Stephanie Garcia. “It’s a really quiet neighborhood. Everyone knows everyone, kids are going to work, going to school, if there’s a party, everyone’s invited.”

YPD says they don’t have a suspect in custody at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has any information regarding the case, call YPD at (928) 373-4700 or 78-CRIME at (928) 782-7463 to remain anonymous. If the information leads to an arrest, they may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

VENTURA, Calif. — The West Coast Outdoors & Sportfishing Expo is reeling in visitors to the Ventura County Fairgrounds this weekend.

Billed as “where adventure meets opportunity,” the expo offers activities for the whole family.

New boats, RVs, and cars are also on display, and the Ventura Auto Center’s bear mascot made an appearance. The bear is still nameless, but visitors can vote on potential names at www.nameourbear.com.

Kenny Loggins Hosts Celebrity Pickleball Fundraiser in Santa Barbara

KEYT on May 5, 2025

Allison Winslow

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Three days of competition at the Kenny Loggins Pickleball in the Danger Zone tournament wrapped up Sunday.

Celebrity competitors included Loggins himself, Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, and actor Duane Henry, among others.

The tournament took place at the Santa Barbara Municipal Tennis and Pickleball Courts, which is a favorite playing spot for Loggins.

The celebrity exhibition was held in conjunction with the American Riviera Classic Tournament and served as a fundraiser for The Unity Shoppe and families displaced by the Los Angeles fires.

Actor Duane Henry downplayed his talent on the court.

“This is a great event because we’re connecting community wealth with a love of pickleball and, most importantly, Unity Shoppe, courtesy of Kenny Loggins,” said Henry. “We’re here to basically celebrate that through pickleball, something we all love to do. It’s a no-brainer, and it’s so much fun. It brings the community out, and you get to see how terrible my shot is.”

Participants received Joola paddles.
