        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

        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?

          Potentially, which I guess might have been the entire point. The ZPS is no stranger to provoking law suites, and since Musk did this in the US this might be their attempt at baiting the German jurisdiction to take a stance on it.

          That said the article you linked says the police talks about having an “Anfangsverdacht” (initial suspicion), which basically means “we have heard about it and will look into it”.

          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.

              Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes it is. Even though it is satirical, it it still ‘wrong’ imagery. But a 10/10 message.
