German police started investigating the activists for showing “Verwendens von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen” (I will roughly translate this to “usage of unconstitutional symbols”) . Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?
Yes. He is a nazi performing a nazi salute which is prohibited for good reasons.
So that specific image where Elon basically comes clean as the Nazi he is, is in fact prohibited.
I mean why shouldn’t this be unlawful?
It is because he is a rich billionaire and they cannot be bad right? /s
no I mean the activists “Zentrum für Politische Schönheit” who projected the image at the factory are investigated for a crime, for showing Musk doing the Hitler salute. Wat will be their punishment, this was not meant to put Musk into a good light, but rather his nature.
This is mostly to get the German police to investigate so they will say that it is actual a Nazi salute. Even if the protesters get into legal trouble that is the point, to get the German police to take a stance.
Damn you are right, this rbb (german funded media) article in german reports this in detail https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2025/01/tesla-gruenheide-led-by-donkeys-zentrum-fuer-politische-schoenheit-beamer-projektion-fassade.html

Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes it is. Even though it is satirical, it it still ‘wrong’ imagery. But a 10/10 message.
Well, they have to do it but it’s no declaration of guilt. Just like because someone is in front of a judge they’re not automatically guilty.
