On the side of the bus station in East London, one of them appears Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, he left the ceiling of Tesla with his hand indicating the top in a A direct armed greeting. “He goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds,” says the advertisement. “Swasticar.”

Another fake advertisement for Mr. Musk and President Trump appears to Tesla Al -Ahmar with the words: “Now with the guidance of the white force.” In northern London, fake films: “The Fast and the Führeer”, with a picture of Mr. Musk, is greeting next to Tesla with a DOGE license board, in reference to the federal agency that is currently leading the budget that is currently led by Mr. Trump.

“Parents’ guidelines” warns the advertising board, which was developed by a group that calls themselves to everyone who hates Elon. “Tesla CEO is a right -wing activist. Don’t give him your money.”

Through the British capital and in many European cities, Mr. Musk’s actions have become a target of the same kind of political anger that has been nourished Sabotage Tesla cars in the United States and sometimes violent protests in his agent.

There was some Cases From unbridled protests and sabotage in Europe. But many of the opposing feelings of the recovery have taken the form of political satire, of the type that flourished in Britain for at least at least. Eighteenth century.

Immediately outside Berlin, a group called the Political Beauty Center used high -energy lights to drop the word “Heil” on the side of the Tesla factory to read “Heil Tesla”, along with a picture of Mr. Musk Greetings during a speech in Washington. In Italy, street art, Elon Musk, depicts a mask to show the face of Adolf Hitler under it. The phrase “Eileon mask” appears above the image.

“There was no such goal just like this,” said John Gorsfield, a software engineer who helped start a London -based group called “Takedow Tesla”. The group has organized protests on several dozens of people over the past few weeks. Have stickers along the highways that say “Honk if you hate elon”. They printed the bumper stickers for Tesla owners with phrases such as “do not make the same error” and “before 2020”.

Mr. Gorfield said: “No one is this rich and strongly acting.” “There is something ridiculous and ridiculous about the Musk brand of toxicity. It opens a real space for ridicule.”

In Europe, Mr. Musk is not just an example far from American wealth and power. Over the past year, Middler has become a frequent political, and often weighs on his behalf One of the reasons for the extreme right On X, his social media platform, where he has 218 million followers.

In Britain, Mr. Musk is known to share the wrong information about the child’s rape scandal Call Prime Minister Kiir Starmer to be imprisoned. He called for the release of Tommy Robinson, the far right, Anti -immigrant instigator Who is in prison Contempt. He criticized the prison sentence for seven years New Nazis who incite incitement He participated in anti -immigrant riots last summer.

MUSK combined small groups that have appeared throughout Europe enjoy the same basic goal: the price of Tank Tesla and its sales as a way to send a message to Mr. Musk and other supernatural people who are considering promoting advanced right -wing policy around the world. Some groups refused to conduct an interview with their actions, noting anxiety that she would become a goal to tempt Mr. Musk on social media. But others were more open about their goals.

“The aim is to show musk and other billionaires that they are weak and they cannot act without punishment,” said Ben Stewart, founder of a sarcastic British activist group called the donkey leadership, who worked with the Political Beauty Center at the Berlin Factory. “We have to harness the global public opinion to decline.”

Organizers believe it works. Tesla’s share price has almost half since its rise in December, at the same time that Mr. Musk began its prominent role in overseeing the launch of government workers and lowering the federal agency budgets. This week, Tesla informed 13 percent A decrease in sales Compared to a year ago.

In one of their protests, a 20 -foot wavy balloon was like Mr. Musk, mysterious in the air. At other times, Mrs. Sotkleviv and her colleagues of the demonstrators left the fabrics on the windshield of Tesla cars.

One of them says: “Once, it was cold.” “Now, unfortunately, this is not the case. Tesla’s driving and using Tesla’s chargers means that you pay Elon Musk, a man who promotes climate and fossil fuel.”

“If you want to go viral in the United Kingdom, you should be smart, I think,” said Ms. Sotcliffe said. “This is our sense of humor naturally.”

The anti -Marid efforts in Berlin, Philip Roche, led the coach of the Political Beauty Center, a German activist group. In an interview, he said that a lot of anger in Mr. Musk in Germany stems from billionaire Support for the far -right party in the countryThe alternative to Germany.

Mr. Roche said: “On the first day in which the administration comes, Hitler greets.” “This is something that we could not bear, politically and artistic.”

Mr. Roche performs many protests by “writing above” a picture with another image. At Tesla Agency, he used the spotlight to install his words and pictures of Mr. Musk to create a new artistic creation. (He said that the police are now investigating his efforts, which were visible for about an hour.) The building’s photos spread widely on social media.
