"Elon Musk's Complex Relationship with Germany: From Culture Wars to Tesla Production"

Elon Musk's plans to expand the Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide, Germany have sparked opposition from a diverse group of protesters, including environmental activists and the far-right AfD party. The protesters, united under the banner "Tesla stoppen," have found support from the local community, while distancing themselves from the AfD. The AfD opposes the factory expansion and has criticized the protesters, while Elon Musk has shown sympathy for the AfD in the past. The situation has stirred controversy in the local council, with Tesla revising its plans in response to the protests.
