If it wasn't, though, why wouldn't he apologize and unequivocally denounce nazi-ism after it happened instead of trolling, playing gotcha games to pwn the libs and doubling down? His jokes about the Holocaust and mocking critics made it worse. He loves reckless, performative provocation and to stir the pot. Terrible branding for Tesla of him to singlehandedly permanently alienate the majority of his customer base.
