Do you drive BMW or VW car? Boy do I have news for you!
- doctorhandshake 5mo agoTechnically you could lump Ford in this category as well. But the meaningful delta IMO is time and direct ownership. None of those three are currently owned/operated by openly Nazi-aligned individuals / groups, which is not something I think you can claim about Tesla.

- tsol 5mo agoVW was established by the nazis and was so excited at the conflict in Gaza they converted a factory into a missile factory recently to help the side that killed more journalists than in any other recorded conflict.
- breezybottom 5mo agoThat's a very strange way to say that they sold it to a missile company. I'm pretty sure the new owner is responsible for converting it. Besides which, if they're Nazis then why would they care about protecting Jews?

- drivingmenuts 5mo agoI'm perfectly well-aware of their history. You'd be hard-pressed to find a large modern German industrial without a swastika in their history. I'm also well-aware that they are not currently Nazi sympathizers (as a corporation), unlike Elon Musk. For the record, my last three cars have been VWs. Not the greatest car, but decent, and affordable.
