A group called ‘Everyone Hates Elon Musk’ has plastered posters across bus stops in Bethnal Green and other parts of London, branding Elon Musk a Nazi sympathizer. The posters depict Musk performing a Nazi salute alongside a swastika-emblazoned Tesla.
The move comes after Musk recently endorsed far-right figures like Donald Trump and the German AfD party. This has led to backlash from German officials and critics in the UK, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Director of Public Prosecutions, who he accused of covering up child sexual exploitation.
UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned Musk’s statements as “misjudged and certainly misinformed”. Many residents are concerned about Musk’s online behavior and his perceived far-right views.
The campaign taps into growing anxiety about the power of tech billionaires like Musk. Tesla’s sales in Europe dropped by 45% in January 2025, with analysts attributing this decline to backlash over Musk’s political affiliations.
