Elon Musk has recently stirred controversy with a gesture during a speech that many likened to a Nazi salute. This incident took place in front of Trump supporters at the Capitol One Arena.

Artist collectives projected images related to this gesture on Tesla's Grünheide factory, sparking further debate. Activists from groups like Zentrum für politische Schönheit and Led by Donkeys protested by projecting messages such as 'Heil Tesla' and 'Boycott Tesla.' Musk dismissed these allegations as a 'dirty trick,' yet the accusations persist.

The police initially denied awareness of these projections. Previously, similar protests targeted Tesla's Amsterdam headquarters.

Musk's actions have also attracted attention from Wikipedia, as they clash over how to describe the gesture, highlighting differing values between the platforms. These events underscore the ongoing tensions surrounding Musk's political associations and public statements, with significant implications for his influence and responsibility as a global figure.
