Who is Ken Turner? Anti-Musk WW2 veteran runs tank over Tesla on Victory Day
Ken Turner, a British World War 2 veteran, drove a Sherman tank over a Tesla vehicle in London in a VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) demonstration on Thursday. The 98-year-old further slammed billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk of fascism. A video of Turner's stunt went viral on social media. The WW2-era Royal Engineer drove over the Tesla EV, which had 'FASCISM' on the number plate. The destroyed car was donated by a Tesla owner, who was 'appalled' by Musk's support for the far-right movement in Europe. The stunt was organized by the satirical activist group, Led by Donkeys. Turner, a former member of the Royal Tank Regiment, stated, 'I'm old enough to have seen fascism the first time around; now it's coming back. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe, and his money comes from Tesla cars. We've crushed fascism before, and we'll crush it again.'
