Summary

Elon Musk’s Nazi salute during a speech was projected onto Tesla’s Berlin factory by two left-wing activist groups, Led By Donkeys and the Center for Political Beauty.

The groups, known for their creative stunts, aimed to expose political hypocrisy and address issues like fascism and historical accountability.

Musk dismissed the controversy, urging people not to overanalyze his actions.

    Yeah it’s not like he was this huge humanitarian that suddenly made a gesture that looked a bit like it.

    Musk has repeatedly shown sympathies for the extreme right, for instance officially supporting the German Extreme right ultra nationalist AfD.
    So when a proven fascist makes a Nazi salute, there is absolutely zero reason to believe it was an accident.

    So USA now has official Nazis in their government now!!

    Congratulations USA.

      Right - like normal humans would say “whoops you’re right, that was an unintended gesture”

      Not double down on it

      Unfortunately, far-right is invading most countries… There are just more discrete for now, but less and less.
