This will be great for business. If I had Tesla, I would try to get rid of it.

Haha, I saw someone already selling elon salute stickers to put on Teslas. I kind of feel bad for anyone who bought one used or a long time ago.

That is an out-fucking-standing protest projection.
The Swasticar Wankpanzer is 100% something he would call the truck if his sycophant followers jokingly suggested it.

Brave protest. Pretty sure Nazi imagery is illegal in Germany. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
Freedom of art in that regard. The only illegal thing might be to project something to the factory
Nope it's legal. §303 StGB:
Whoever, without being authorised to do so, substantially and permanently alters the appearance of an object belonging to another [...]
Projections are far from permanent. What I'm blanking on right now is whether cleaning something is captured under that wording, I vaguely remember them discussing changing it, dunno if they have. If a wall is dirty enough you can make a great graffito with nothing but a pressure washer.
Is that a thing in Germany? Genuinely asking
Yes. You can even use a swastika if the intend is clear. For example a figure throwing it into a trashcan.
I'm not a lawyer, but the word "Heil" ist not forbidden and Also its a picture of something relevant that happened. So in my opinion the Art itself is not illegal. Only the projection onto the building.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Appreciate the insight!
You're welcome :)
Making the German state officially state that this is Nazi imagery would be a worthwhile win lol.
I'm pretty sure they have explicitly come out and said that the gesture was what we all know it to be. I'm sure the Internet can verify it for you though
Not sure about anyone from the government much less in an official function but e.g. the Zeit used the title "A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute", and the rest of the press isn't any more ambiguous, either.
