World War II British veteran Ken Turner, 98, staged a powerful and symbolic moment by once again driving a Sherman tank — the same model used by his army during the conflict — to crush a Tesla vehicle. The act was a direct protest against Elon Musk and what Turner believes is the funding of Europe’s far right through the sale of the brand’s cars.

“His money comes from Tesla. Well then, I’ve got a message for Mr. Musk: we’ve crushed fascism before — and we’ll crush it again,” said Turner as his tank rolled over the electric vehicle.
Wearing his uniform from that era, the veteran made a point of reminding the world of his generation that fought against Nazism, and issued a new warning about what he describes as the rise of contemporary authoritarian regimes. “We’ve already defeated fascism once, and we’ll do it again.”
The action, titled “Tank vs Tesla”, quickly went viral across social media and video platforms, celebrated by left-wing groups and war veterans in several countries. The event also reignited debate around the role of big tech corporations in financing political agendas.
Ken Turner ended his appearance with a striking statement: “I destroy one last Nazi car, for all who fell. Let’s move forward, shall we?”
Images and videos of the protest can be found across various online platforms.
