The Deutsches Museum in Munich has decided to remove an exhibit showcasing Elon Musk due to ongoing controversy regarding his gesture at a recent event that some perceived as a Nazi salute. The museum suggested the removal was partly due to the exhibit's inability to convey a comprehensive historical account of Musk's life and achievements. The spokesperson emphasized how tribute to living individuals can be seen as uncritical, while Musk faced backlash, notably from Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for his reaction to the criticisms.
It can always be problematic to pay tribute to people who are still alive in such a prominent position in an exhibition because such a presentation can be seen as an uncritical tribute.
Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is so tired.
In this country, we hate Nazis.
A person's life-time achievements can often only be correctly assessed in retrospect.
