Elon Musk's Portrait Removed from the Deutches Museum in Munich [View all]
The Germans know a Nazi when they see one.
A portrait of tech billionaire Elon Musk was removed from a space and technology exhibition at a German museum following backlash over a controversial gesture Musk made Monday at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.
Many interpreted Musk’s gesture at the inauguration as a Nazi salute, though Musk called the controversy “dirty tricks” from critics.
As the founder and CEO of SpaceX, Musk was prominently featured in a portrait among “visionaries from the past and future” in the astronautics gallery at the Deutsches Museum of Science and Technology. However, the artwork was temporarily covered in November, amid Musk’s increasing political involvement, and has now been removed.
