Anti-Musk group goes viral with Tesla “Swasticar” ad
By James Herring on Tuesday, February 25, 2025
The activist group ‘Everyone Hates Elon’ has gone viral (5.2M views) with a provocative anti-Tesla campaign.
A TikTok video shows a bus shelter ad being replaced with a B&W poster reading: “Goes From 0 to 1939 In 3 Seconds”, featuring an edited image of Elon Musk appearing to perform a Nazi salute.
Musk has spent months backing Germany’s far-right AfD.
In the AD, Tesla is rebranded as “The Swasticar.”
The stunt has ignited debate online, with critics calling it an extreme, while supporters say it’s a necessary stand against Musk’s growing political influence.
The group also staged an activation in a Tesla showroom.
