A giant billboard near Tesla's Fremont factory is asking CEO Elon Musk to sever his ties with the Trump administration.

The billboard reads "Elon: Please Dump Trump" and sits just three miles outside the Fremont factory on I-880, SiliconValley.com first reported. The sign's tagline reads "Resist" in red.

Musk sits on President Donald Trump's business advisory council and manufacturing jobs initiative. He also visited the White House on Wednesday to discuss infrastructure spending. Musk is planning to launch a tunneling company to relieve traffic in Los Angeles.

No one has taken credit for the paid advertisement. Clear Channel Outdoor, the billboard's owner, wrote on the sign that the message does not reflect the views of Clear Channel Outdoor or its lessors.

Jason King, a spokesperson for Clear Channel Outdoor, reiterated that paid advertisements do not reflect the views of the company. King added that he "believes the ad in question is no longer running," but did not comment further on when the ad campaign began and concluded.
