Ritter Sport? If so, don't forget the part where it described itself as good!

You call it what it was, a Nazi salute.

Because if he cries defamation and wants to sue, stand there in court and give the judge the finger. The judge shoukd either accept that hand gestures have commonly accepted meanings or endure the whole case while you give everyone the finger. Probably make a few wanking motions with your hand for good measure...

So this will be added as a right wing crime in the logs? Got it

Because it's the heart of a Nazi, anyway.

german news media reports this is fake picture? Is that true?

Natanox

No, it's real. It was an art installation at the Tesla Factory Berlin.

Damn you are right, this rbb (german funded media) article in german reports this in detail

German police started investigating the activists for showing "unlawful symbols". Are they serious?

[email protected]

Yes. He is a nazi performing a nazi salute which is prohibited for good reasons.
So that specific image where Elon basically comes clean as the Nazi he is, is in fact prohibited.

I mean why shouldn't this be unlawful?

It is because he is a rich billionaire and they cannot be bad right? /s

[email protected]

no I mean the activists who projected the image at the factory are investigated for a crime, for showing Musk.

[email protected]

Ah sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yes it is. Even though it is satirical, it it still 'wrong' imagery. But a 10/10 message.

[email protected]

Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?

Potentially, which I guess might have been the entire point. The ZPS is no stranger to provoking law suites, and since Musk did this in the US this might be their attempt at baiting the German jurisdiction to take a stance on it.

That said the article you linked says the police talks about having an "Anfangsverdacht" (initial suspicion), which basically means "we have heard about it and will look into it".

Not so quick, they say the gesture was "out of context" and resembles the Nazi gesture. So even the German police/law is going to gag on musk's dick. Great, I didn't know we are there already.

Well, they have to do it but it's no declaration of guilt. Just like because someone is in front of a judge they're not automatically guilty.

This is mostly to get the German police to investigate so they will say that it is actual a Nazi salute. Even if the protesters get into legal trouble that is the point, to get the German police to take a stance.
