This action is being criticized all over the world, let us tell you that Musk had called these allegations as “political and dirty trick”. He claimed that his gesture was an expression of happiness and enthusiasm, and not support for any dictator.

Who took responsibility?
Led By Donkeys and the Center for Political Beauty posted a video of the demonstration on Instagram, calling it a political attack against Tesla and Musk.

German law on Nazi symbols
In Germany it is strictly illegal to use Nazi salutes, swastikas, or slogans such as Heil Hitler. Violation of this law is seen as inflammatory activity. A fine can be imposed for doing so. In serious cases it can be imprisonment up to three years. However, here ‘Hail Tesla’ has been used on the lines of ‘Hail Hitler’. Now it remains to be seen what further action is taken in this matter.
