German museum removes Elon Musk portrait as 'Nazi salute' controversy rages on
Briefly

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.
