In the night from Monday to Tuesday, the facade of Tesla’s office in a suburb of Paris was doused with brown liquid, which is likely a retaliatory action in response to the statements and actions of billionaire Elon Musk, the company’s owner.
According to BFMTV, employees at Tesla’s office in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Ouen discovered traces of the brown liquid on the windows and walls of the building on Tuesday morning. The company stated that it had notified the authorities and is awaiting the start of an investigation.
This is not the first such action in Europe. Earlier, after Elon Musk raised his hand in a gesture that was compared on the internet to a Nazi salute, protests occurred. In early February, anti-Nazi slogans and swastikas appeared on the walls of a Tesla showroom in The Hague, Netherlands. In Germany, activists used a projector to display an image of Musk making this gesture on the wall of one of the company’s factories. In Poland, authorities urged citizens to refrain from buying Tesla vehicles due to Musk’s statements.
