Trying to find this denial online but can't. I've read that the German police say the photo is fake but it's a whole video so that sounds strange.
ZPS deny the denial.

No way to really pinpoint but to rely on what German Media reports.
It is said, the local factory security has not noticed that there was any video on the walls.
So more or less it is them denying the protest has happened.
Here it turns into an even more strange situation.
The police questioning the factory security who are in denial mode -> having no evidence of the protest, as there is no physical damage or otherwise something they could take for a clue.
The activists who supposedly did all this are trying to make a legal case of it so it catches more attention, saying all that was necessary was to make use of all the security cameras on the premise, it should be evident that way.
Did it happen or was it a good edit? I dont think that does matter at all, the story has been started and now it is on the web where it will stay forever.

If you're the kind of person that's ever said to yourself... 'If I had a time machine, I'd go back and kill Hitler before he came to power'... you don't need a time machine anymore...

He does na zi a problem with that?
Unfortunately if you're the kind of person that has said that to yourself, you already know you'll never get one in the future.

In this video, Bill Gates appreciates the fact that Musk is a "member of the Gideon's Pledge". I didn't know what that was and it took some digging. Honestly, the first hit was something about Gideon's Oath which comes from Magic the Gathering. Pretty sure that wasn't it, but if Google couldn't direct me to something important enough that Bill Gates would mention it in public then consider me worried that it's something weird as ****.
There are two other hits that kind of make sense. Gideon's Promise is an organization which - with initial funding from George Soros - supports public defense attornies, based on the Gideon v. Wainwright decision of 1963. But this organization is called Gideon's Promise, not Gideon's Pledge. Is Musk a huge fan of public defense and Gates just misspoke?
The third possiblity is the weird one I was worried I'd find. Gideons International is the organization that is responsible for distributing bibles all across the globe. They're the reason hotel rooms always have bibles in them, something which has always made my skin crawl. This organization does indeed have members and presumably a pledge or oath along with it.
Bill Gates doesn't make clear which "Gideon's Pledge" Musk is a member of. Is he a completely innocent Magic superfan? Is he an honorable supporter of public defense in court? Or is he a radical Christian extremist? And which of those three are important enough that Bill Gates would publicly cite it as an admirable trait of Elon Musk?

Myself an @Omnis were talking something about Musk the other day actually, and apparently Bill Gates fits the bill unironically. I'm no liguist, I wish I could come up with a word more evil than "psychopath" to describe these people but I can't. Like Manson and Jones, the more I ponder it the more I believe these hyper wealthy people are dangerous to society and not necessarily because of their wealth.
I used to think Bill Gates was a man of science who accidentally got richer than he could handle. It only took him two words to spoil that for me.
