A communist Italian group, known as “Cambiare Rotta”, has hung an effigy of Elon Musk in the same square where the body of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was hanged. The group, which has been known for its controversial views, including supporting Hezbollah, has criticized Musk for his endorsement of far-right parties in Europe and his controversial statements.
Musk has faced criticism for allowing hate speech and anti-Semitic comments to flourish on his social media platform, X, and for calling for the release of far-right agitator Tommy Robinson. He has also been accused of making a Nazi salute during a speech, which he has denied.
The communist group’s gesture is seen as a protest against Musk’s views and actions, and is being interpreted as a warning to the billionaire to be careful about his associations and public statements.
