As part of the inauguration ceremony of the new President of the United States Donald Trump this Monday, Elon Musk made a strange gesture at the end of his speech given to the crowd gathered in Washington. And the least we can say is that these gestures added fuel to the fire when the reputation of the Tesla boss was already sulphurous.
After the acts of vandalism observed since last year on Tesla brand vehicles in the streets of several cities around the world (or the sabotage of the Berlin factory a few months ago), there seems to be a resurgence of these actions following the political radicalization of Elon Musk.
In Austria, for example, a Tesla Model 3 parked in the street was tagged this week with a large red swastika on the front hood and a cross on the windshield, as can be seen on the social network Reddit . Here in Niort, a brand vehicle was scratched in a city parking lot by a 76-year-old man who said he was “openly opposed to Elon Musk”, as reported by journalists from Le Figaro.
