german news media reports this is fake picture? Is that true?
No, it's real. It was an art installation at the Tesla Factory Berlin.
Damn you are right, this rbb (german funded media) article in german reports this in detail https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2025/01/tesla-gruenheide-led-by-donkeys-zentrum-fuer-politische-schoenheit-beamer-projektion-fassade.html
German police started investigating the activists for showing "Verwendens von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen" (I will roughly translate this to "usage of unconstitutional symbols") . Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?
Yes. He is a nazi performing a nazi salute which is prohibited for good reasons. So that specific image where Elon basically comes clean as the Nazi he is, is in fact prohibited.
I mean why shouldn't this be unlawful?
It is because he is a rich billionaire and they cannot be bad right? /s
no I mean the activists "Zentrum für Politische Schönheit" who projected the image at the factory are investigated for a crime, for showing Musk doing the Hitler salute. Wat will be their punishment, this was not meant to put Musk into a good light, but rather his nature.
Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes it is. Even though it is satirical, it it still 'wrong' imagery. But a 10/10 message.
This is mostly to get the German police to investigate so they will say that it is actual a Nazi salute. Even if the protesters get into legal trouble that is the point, to get the German police to take a stance.
