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.

    I understood it ls in people are discussing if it was a nazi salute or not, maybe some of the meaning inside the word got lost in translation? I’m not a native speaker so it’s a possibility.

      That’s fine, I don’t think anyone really thinks it was an accident though either, the people saying that are just trying to downplay their dogwhistle.

      What’s next? Asking if the sky is blue? Do we need to question that too? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck…it’s a duck!
