Summary
Polish Tourism Minister Sławomir Nitras has called for a Tesla boycott following Elon Musk’s remarks urging Germany to “move past” its Nazi history.
Musk’s comments, made during a far-right AfD campaign event, sparked outrage, particularly in Poland, which lost 6 million people in WWII.
The controversy comes ahead of Germany’s February 23 election and just before Musk’s Tesla earnings call.
As a key advisor to Trump, Musk’s stance could impact Tesla’s market position in Europe, where historical remembrance remains a sensitive issue.
I keep getting this feeling that Musk is a stooge and he sacrificed himself/was sacrificed with the Nazi salute thing as a distraction.
He doesn’t give a shit about Tesla tanking, as long as he can use his new connections to ride the stock market waves through some well-planned trades (i.e. insider trading).
These guys can insider trade all they want now. Who the hell is gonna stop them? Nancy Pelosi? Lol.
Nah, he’s looking higher than just money. He was making a bunch of moves that the MAGA folks weren’t happy about, such as getting into fights with Laura Loomer over the specifics of how they’re going to fuck over everyone. A little hand gesture at a rally, and suddenly all those people are lining up to defend him.
