Eco-activists target Tesla store in Germany with bold paint protest against Elon Musk

Eco-activists have poured paint on a Tesla store in the Mitte district of Germany's Berlin city in a bold act of protest. 

The protest was aimed at raising their opposition to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his views, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.

The incident occurred at a shopping centre in the heart of Berlin's city centre, where a group of activists staged their demonstration. Local police were quick to respond, arresting two women, aged 22 and 28, and a 25-year-old man in connection with the incident.

Media reports suggest that the activists targeted the Tesla store due to Musk's controversial positions and public statements. One of the banners displayed during the protest carried the message, "Our society is not a toy for the far-right", referencing concerns about Musk's political affiliations and the potential impact of his views on society.

The protest has sparked conversation about the role of major public figures, such as Musk, in influencing societal and political discourse. While authorities continue to investigate the incident, the eco-activists have made it clear that their actions were part of a larger movement challenging the increasing influence of wealthy business leaders on global politics. 

The event has put the spotlight back on the intersection of corporate power, environmental activism, and political ideology, raising important questions about the responsibility of influential figures in shaping modern society.
