A picture of the world`s richest man, Elon Musk, giving a contentious salute during a speech was shown atop Tesla`s Berlin gigafactory.
The display featured Musk`s gesture alongside the words "Heil Tesla."
Elon Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has faced widespread accusations of making a Nazi gesture twice during a speech to a crowd of Trump supporters gathered at Washington`s Capital One Arena for an indoor "Presidential Parade" on Monday, shortly after Trump`s second inauguration, reports News Week.
While his intention remained unclear, Musk`s straight-arm gesture during the speech quickly made headlines worldwide.
"I just want to say thank you for making it happen," Musk said during his remarks, referring to Trump`s victory in the presidential election. He then slapped his hand on his chest and extended his arm straight out and upward with his palm facing downward.
"My heart goes out to you," he added, turning to make a similar gesture in the opposite direction. Musk dismissed the controversy, urging people not to overanalyse his actions.
