@streetartutopia #Alt4You A Tesla facility with a projection on its façade of an image of Elon Musk performing the now infamous sieg heil salute from the Trump inauguration as well as the word "Heil" added in the same brand lettering forming the message "Heil Tesla".
@pezmico Ty! I was on the phone and wanted to get it out fast! :)
@streetartutopia no worries, no judgement, just wanted to help and did.
Your alt text is better anyway. 😉

@streetartutopia Unfortunately... #musk is an attention seeker, who displays chronic attention-seeking behaviour... and we are giving him exactly what he wants. This will not end well.

Back in the day in #ireland he would have been dismissed and ignored as "just a great big notice-box" and/or "the world's richest eejit". The great #irish tradition of 'begrudgery', that is begrudging others' wealth and success (just ask Bono) might have helped to put him in his place.

However, now we have it. It is what it is.

And we can't just ignore #fascism. It *must* be confronted and stopped.

Evil days have fallen upon us, it would seem.

Zentrum für politische Schönheit: Aktivisten posten Bild von „Heil“-Projektion auf Tesla-Werk

@kopo It doesn't matter, if the projections are physically real or not. (And why should we care, if they don't care for what's real or not, anyways?) It is the symbol and its message that matters. It is still a form of legitimate protest.
@streetartutopia
@levampyre @streetartutopia préciser que ce n'est pas une projection serait plus correcte et est important dans le monde IA où nous vivons. Cela n'enleverait rien au message.
D'ailleurs, en Allemagne, les symboles nazis sont passable de la loi, même en tant que protestation.

@streetartutopia @levampyre
perhaps its real, i'm not an expert, only meager😉
This film est destinatet for american people ?
@streetartutopia Well, the video is definitely a real art project. But it still doesn't look like they necessarily actually projected videos and screenshots onto the factory walls. It could be easily edited by having a frame over a still image or video of the factory wall. The narration is also a post production addition. But again, it doesn't matter. The message was delivered one way or another. @kopo

@streetartutopia
Excellent! They should leave the Germans alone, though. They had to live through the original wave of Nazis. Isn't that enough?
@sloanlance @streetartutopia They... Ehm... *were* the original wave of nazis
@sloanlance @streetartutopia well, let's not forget that the Germans also brought it upon themselves and voted for Hitler in 1932 and 1933. Even during the last days of the war convinced Nazis in the civilian population ratted out deserters and hunted down escaped concentration camp inmates... There wasn't much of a revolution or open riots or even sabotage against Hitler and the terror regime. Even sadder that today a right wing party (AFD) again is voted into offices across the country. It's the second highest voting block after the conservatives (CDU) .... Eerily reminiscent of the year before Hitler became chancellor (with the help of the Conservatives) and then overthrew the government, helped by very wealthy individuals and impoverished voters, who believed they somehow deserved better, because they were the "true Germans" 😭 #FuckFascism #FuckAFD

@streetartutopia

I'm pretty sure it's legal to seize assets from nazis

Elon Musk Controversial Salute Image Beamed on Tesla Factory in Berlin

The large image shows Musk giving the salute with the words "Heil Tesla" beamed above him.

Newsweek
@artemesia @streetartutopia Newsweek only cites political beauty as a source, while Tagesspiegel seems to have reached out to Tesla's local security.
Also in my opinion the projection looks "too good to be real"

@friparvus @streetartutopia

It does look a bit too perfect, especially the outstretched hand on the dark corner of the building. But still brilliant, whether real or fake. If fake, they didn't risk their projector getting confiscated.

@friparvus @streetartutopia another tell why the picture is probably fake: the vertical linear blur/bloom in the original bit is different to the diagonal or radial blur from the overlay/projection.

I feel the #altText should include a line that it is a fake or doctored image

@friparvus @streetartutopia The message is still strong, even though the image was not actually projected on Tesla Gigafactory.

@streetartutopia They should nationalize it and seize his assets.
@streetartutopia Now the question is, will his remaining fans respond by saying "That's terrible! Shame on you Elon!" or return the salute?

@streetartutopia

#LedByDonkeys are still on Xitter, they're great, but they need to move their arses over to the fediverse.

If anyone is still in the fascist bird site X can they please have a word with them?

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @streetartutopia
I also think that he unironically loves that image and that it will be great PR amongst the fanbois of his supported party.
Really don't think it's exposing him in any way.

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @streetartutopia

There's actually a whole video exposing Murks' connection with international fascist terrorists, who also like to do the Hitlergruß.
(Search for Ledbydonkeys on youtube - not linking here, because the vid starts with voice&image of said Hackfresse 🤮, ff to min 0:25, to avoid)

German public prosecution is now investigating the "display of anti-constitutional symbols" for this beamer action, so that's gonna be interesting.

@streetartutopia

Poor Nikola... 😔 he's got nothing to do with Elon's fascho-crap.

@streetartutopia hi ! It's a great picture but we've seen a lot of it lately, do you mind adding a CW on it ?
@streetartutopia Nice factory they've got there. Be a real shame...
@streetartutopia Asshole + Aspergers syndrome
@streetartutopia Let’s see who supports a #boycot of #tesla and who doesn’t. All who are still buying this #swasticar could aspect suddenly appearing fire of the car. #x #musk
