  • Tesla owners are boycotting the popular electric vehicle over founder Elon Musk's controversial salute at the inauguration of President Donald Trump, which many have said had a striking similarity to the Nazis.

Tesla owners in Germany are boycotting the company due to Elon Musk's controversial actions, including his appearance at a far-right rally and his use of a salute reminiscent of the Nazi era. Musk, who also owns X Corp (formerly Twitter), was seen at a rally in Germany where he made a gesture that many interpreted as a Nazi salute, sparking widespread condemnation. This gesture, combined with his presence at an event associated with far-right politics, has led to significant backlash from Tesla customers and the public.
