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.
From Chamber’s Dictionary
Hmm… looking at Webster’s definition of controversy, seems like it is perfectly correct to use the term in relation to what Musk has done.

noun
1 : a discussion marked especially by the expression of opposing views : DISPUTE
