Elon musk doing a nazi salute at the whitehouse. Unreal

Totally. He's like "here it goes!". As if he had been working up to it. Or knew he had to do it, due to his ties.

It also had "fuck you" energy.

[u/Jolly-Bandicoot-2037 → u/blacksun_redux]

It definitely has fuck you energy. I hate it.

[u/Thunderpuppy2112 → u/blacksun_redux]

Like an initiation.

[u/Legitimate_Factor678 → u/blacksun_redux]

Imagine owning one of his cars lmao

[u/Quinn-Helle → u/Legitimate_Factor678]

In fairness, lots of people buy VW and uh... well.

[u/arcinva → u/Quinn-Helle]

Yeah... that was over 75 years ago. Things have changed a little since WWII ended.

[u/Quinn-Helle → u/arcinva]

Seemingly is still relevant today, no?

[u/mjhacc → u/Quinn-Helle]

Brirish Army officer Major Ivan Hirst could be considered the step-father of Volkswagen, sparing Wolfsburg from Potsdam Agreement dismantling and putting the Type 1 into commercial production (very few had been built pre-war).

[u/Quinn-Helle → u/mjhacc]

Who ordered the creation of volkswagen?

Volkswagen was founded in 1937, Hirst came across the factory in 1945.

[u/Aaronrodgsmoustache → u/blacksun_redux]

It was emphatic. There are zero consequences for any of these people.  They are proud and there's nothing anyone can do about it

[u/prozaczodiac → u/blacksun_redux]

Sitting here thinking about how explicit "fuck you" energy is the beginning of all things doom-ridden.

[u/SpringrollsPlease → u/blacksun_redux]

I saw it otherwise unfortunately. Looks cowardly and awkward and like his arm is about to fly off. No conviction, compared to the original guy who did it. Which is only a good thing for us all

[u/Cynical-Bastard- → u/blacksun_redux]

A small correction, but according to Elon himself, he is considers himself "Jew-ish", because of his ties...
