Anti-Elon Musk protesters targeted a St Albans Tesla dealership last month.
Protest group Overthrow Musk put up posters at the Tesla dealership at Lyon Way, off Hatfield Road, on Friday, March 14.
The posters show Musk doing a straight-arm salute along with the wording ‘your local swasticar showroom’, while another poster states ‘welcome to Tesla St Albans’ next to the same image.
The protesters were making a link between the Tesla founder and Adolf Hitler, after Musk caused a furore by making a one-armed gesture during a speech celebrating the inauguration of American President Donald Trump.
Musk, the world’s richest man, has since been the subject of protests across the world.
In response to those who likened the arm gesture to a Nazi salute, Musk said on X: “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”
Tesla has been contacted for comment.
