Muskove poteze, od odprte podpore predsedniku Trumpu do hvaljenja desničarske stranke AfD v Nemčiji, so pritegnile veliko pozornosti, nikomur pa ni ušla niti njegova gesta z visoko dvignjeno desnico po inavguraciji Donalda Trumpa za predsednika ZDA, ki so si jo mnogi razlagali kot nacistični pozdrav, čeprav je sam to zanikal.

Posebej oster odziv je zdaj prišel od 98-letnega britanskega veterana iz druge svetovne vojne Kena Turnerja, ki Muska obtožuje spodbujanja fašističnih idej, zato se je odločil svoje mnenje izraziti na zelo javen in dobeseden način.

To mark VE Day a 98 year-old who served in the British army in World War Two has destroyed a Tesla with a Sherman tank. Photo released May 7 2025. Before obliterating the car, former Royal Engineer Ken Turner declared: "We crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again." The car was donated by a Tesla owner who is appalled by the support the company's owner Elon Musk has given to the far-right in Europe. Musk has backed the AfD in Germany and gave a Nazi salute at a Trump rally. Speaking from inside the Sherman - which also served in the war, fighting Nazis in Normandy - Ken said: "I'm old enough to have seen fascism the first time around, now it's coming back. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe and his money comes from Tesla cars. Well I've got this message for Mr Musk. We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again. Let's go!",Image: 996343661, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: Editorial use, commercial use may require additional licenses.

''Fašizem smo že uničili in ga bomo ponovno." Foto : Profimedia

V nedavno objavljenem videoposnetku na YouTubu je Turner dejal, da se še predobro spominja fašizma, in da verjame, da se vrača. "Elon Musk, najbogatejši človek na svetu, uporablja svojo ogromno moč za podporo skrajni desnici v Evropi, njegov denar pa prihaja od avtomobilov Tesla. Fašizem smo že uničili in ga bomo ponovno," je povedal.

Turner je s tankom Sherman, enakim, kot so ga uporabljali v drugi svetovni vojni, povozil modri Teslin Model 3. Foto: Profimedia

Turner je s tankom Sherman, enakim, kot so ga uporabljali v drugi svetovni vojni, povozil modri Teslin Model 3. Zdi se, da je bil videoposnetek posnet na nekem polju v Britaniji, Model 3 pa je imel registrsko tablico z napisom "Fašizem".

V nekaj sekundah se je zgodovinski tank povzpel na Teslo ter jo popolnoma zdrobil. Videoposnetek je bil objavljen ob dnevu zmage 9. maja.
