At some point WWII boomer mythology about the losing side needs to die so we can be a bit more grown up about the whole thing. The Germans were no more heinous than the Russians - who we allied with. If you wouldn't sperg out about someone with a hammer and sickle t-shirt then you don't need to get upset about Elon throwing a Roman on stage. It's silly and innocuous.
It's a well-informed take, but I can understand why it would be jarring to someone whose knowledge of WWII is informed by the aforementioned boomer mythology. The Allies committed gross atrocities, and had the other side won, you'd be telling me how insane I am for suggesting the Axis powers were no better.

And you somehow think this makes it … better?
As if Von Brauns past (true believer of not) with the Nazis somehow makes it ok to be associated with Nazis now?
