The king wanted more tax on dry goods such as tea to the settlements. They felt that if they had to pay more for the same things, they should get a say in how they are governed. "no taxation without representation" When the King said no, that's when they threw it into the harbor.
DOGE is eliminating government spending on things that give little to no benefit to the country. Something Elon Musk himself is not actually doing, but he's the figurehead, so they hate him for it. Conflating dumping tea into the harbor with setting fire to highly toxic electric car batteries is really dumb.
Note that appeals to emotion, specifically hatred really rile these fuckers up.
DC degenerates can fuck off back to Maryland then. The Founding Fathers were extremely clear about keeping DC neutral ground, because giving an enclave of government bureaucrats a vote only results in more government. The 23rd Amendment was a mistake.
The analogy doesn't even work.

Fun fact: Taxation Without Representation is the motto that adorns license plates in Washington DC.

Giving the land back to Maryland would be the correct course, but they want 3 more Democrat votes.
