  • The Deutsches Museum said via email that it had covered — not removed — an installation that featured a portrait of Musk in November 2024. The museum plans a new installation in its place. In late January 2025, a claim (archived) circulated online that a German museum had removed a portrait of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk from display. (X user @SZ_Muenchen) One example of the rumor (archived), which had amassed more than 266,000 views on X as of this writing, read: The "Deutsches Museum" has removed Elon Musk from their display of visionaries of past and present. [in Munich, the world's largest museum of science & technology with 1.5m visitors annually] We are definitely living in crazy times, Ladies and Gentlemen. The claim appeared elsewhere on the Musk-owned X platform (archived) and on Facebook (archived). National and local media outlets in Germany also reported on the alleged removal at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The rumor likely originated from a report in German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung on Jan. 20. The claim came as Musk was under scrutiny for a gesture he made at a rally celebrating U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, which many observers likened to a Nazi salute. A spokesperson from the Deutsches Museum said in an emailed statement that the museum covered — not removed — an installation featuring Musk within its astronautics exhibition in mid-November 2024. The museum covered the installation because its design meant it was not possible to add updates or context to the people featured within it. Therefore, we have rated this claim as mostly true. The museum's statement read: We already decided in mid-November to no longer show this exhibition installation because we were unable to update or contextualize the exhibition content, due to the exhibition design. Elon Musk is therefore no longer on display in the space exhibition (note: the installation was covered in November). The content for this part of the exhibition was created several years ago. It added that exhibitions featuring living people risked being interpreted as an "uncritical tribute": It can always be problematic to pay tribute to people who are still alive in such a prominent position in an exhibition - because such a presentation can be seen as an uncritical tribute. And a person's lifetime achievements can often only be correctly assessed in retrospect. The museum said it was planning a new installation to replace the one covered in November but had not decided what the replacement would be.
