Why Led By Donkeys Targeted Elon Musk with ‘Heil Tesla’ in Berlin
A provocative projection on Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory depicted Elon Musk performing a Nazi-style salute, accompanied by the text “HEIL TESLA” in Tesla’s iconic font. This striking act was orchestrated by the British activist art collective Led By Donkeys, known for their sharp political art.
The projection targeted Musk’s controversial gesture during Donald Trump’s inauguration, which has been widely criticized for evoking fascist imagery. By placing this statement in Germany—a country with strict anti-Nazi laws and a profound historical context—Led By Donkeys amplified the gravity of their message, challenging the unchecked influence of billionaires and the normalization of extremist symbols.
Led By Donkeys has a history of using public spaces to hold powerful figures accountable, and this projection is no exception. It underscores the role of activist art in sparking critical conversations about leadership, ethics, and the societal impact of those in positions of great influence.
@alda Yes! But the name of the factory is "Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg" on google maps.
Wiki: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg is a manufacturing plant for Tesla, Inc. in the municipality of Grünheide in the Brandenburg state of Germany. The campus is located 35 kilometres southeast of central Berlin and some 8 kilometres southeast of the Berlin state boundary at Erkner and Rahnsdorf.

Thanks. Boosted. It’s as if Henry Ford and William Randolph Hearst combined to reincarnate as one doubly reprehensible person.
In the spirit of conversation, two notes:
1. Odd that Led by Donkeys is inactive on the Fediverse and instead remains on the Nazi social medium.
2. It would help me place events in time if people would refer to Twitter as Twitter when speaking about tweets pre-Elon and call it X for posts in its Nazi era.
How can it be that the account sharing this is still on X? The mirror here is a mystery too - it will disappear as well, I’d think. The Patreon account may not survive either. Hmmm. Glad I saw/read the entire projection there - it wasn’t just the salute image projected.
it should be clear by now that it is not just Elon musk who is tweeting from the elon musk account. He most likely has an entire team working for him just with tweeting to push a world wide fascist agenda and to get attention all over the internet
