In Italy, a student activist group hung an effigy of Elon Musk in Milan's Piazzale Loreto, historically significant for the display of Mussolini's body post-execution. The protest was sparked by allegations that Musk made a Nazi salute while thanking supporters at Trump's inauguration. The effigy, made from rubbish bags to represent disdain for Musk, was part of a coordinated action by a communist youth group, which shared critical messages on social media, noting the historical parallels and eliciting widespread attention online.
The demonstration came after Elon Musk, a major donor to Donald Trump, was alleged to have made a Nazi salute during Trump's inauguration speech.
Students hung an effigy of Musk in Milan's Piazzale Loreto, the site where Mussolini's body was displayed post-execution by partisans in 1945.
Cambiare Rotta, a communist youth group, took responsibility for the effigy, posting 'There's always room at Piazzale Loreto, Elon' on social media.
The protest, showing a trash-filled effigy of Musk, quickly garnered attention, with social media users commenting on Italy's serious stance.
