![]() Lefist actress Alyssa Milano was mocked over the weekend for revealing that she gave up her Tesla because of “white supremacy” and instead purchased an electric Volkswagen, a car company that was founded by the Nazis.
“I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it,” Milano tweeted. “I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model.” Volkswagen was created in 1937 when the German government, under control of the Nazi Party, formed the state-owned company, History reports. The company was operated by the Nazi organization German Labor Front. Milano’s tweet was instantly mocked by thousands online, including by Twitter CEO and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler,” conservative political commentators The Hodge Twins responded to Milano, along with a clown emoji. Musk responded with a laughing emoji and a “100” emoji, signifying that he agreed with their response.
“Nothing says ‘I’m concerned about white supremacy’ like buying a car from a company founded by the Nazi government,” writer Mark Hemingway tweeted. “To be clear I don’t think there’s anything problematic about buying a VW in the 21st century, but if you’re virtue signaling that would be a bigger deal than buying a car from the guy who fled South Africa to avoid being conscripted in their racist army.” Liberal Clifton Duncan responded to Milano, “If you praise Woodrow Wilson, who held screenings of ‘The Birth of a Nation’ at the White House, then brag about buying a car from a company founded by Nazis, you really should stop virtue signaling about others aligning themselves with hate and White Supremacy.” Others also highlighted VW’s emission scandal from a few years ago where the company cheated on diesel-emissions tests after years of promoting “Clean Diesel.” The company installed software on its cars that made the cars perform compliant with federal regulations when the cars were being tested for emissions but when the vehicles were out driving on the road they produced significantly higher emissions. Felony convictions have already been secured in the criminal case against those who were involved.
Others online highlighted Milano’s past praise of Musk. “Before it became trendy to hate Elon Musk, Alyssa Milano was his greatest fan,” writer Ian Miles Cheong tweeted. “Why are people like this?” “Good question,” Musk responded. “Seems like NPC to PC ratio is super high!”

So, Nazi comes from the German words, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterparte, or in English, National Socialist German Workers' Party. Adolf Hitler was a socialist, a word we Americans a*sociate with left-wing political ideology. He did not grow up wealthy nor highly educated. The idea of Volkswagen, translated as the people's car (where volks is German for people and wagen is car) was to provide a car that the everyday German could afford (even though he drove around in luxurious Mercedes-Benz vehicles for himself). It would be like what the Ford Model T was in America symbolically, a car the majority of Americans could afford. Germany was very poor after World War I and one of the things that helped propel the Nazi party into popularity was their promise to help the people out financially. This was also a reason why the Nazi party gained popularity in Austria, as they were also a poor country after WW I.
That's all in the past and VW has been and is a capitalist, for-profit car company. Tesla has always been on the forefront of EV development and has been very popular among politically left-wing folks for being a vanguard of creating a car company that does not have any internal-combustion engine cars. Even, AOC, one of the most far-left progressive Democrats in Congress, bought a Tesla. ![]() |

Look at the name of their party, it ends with Socialist German Workers Party. Any political group with the word "workers" is always related to labor unions, a socialist-based organization that operates in a capitalist organization to help the workers. In their case, it was more of an economic philosophy rather than political philosophy because they didn't operate the political party in an effort to become a communist nation. | |

Kinda reminds me of a similar line of reasoning this woman I used to work with used when explaining why she didn't want to get vaccinated. She said that she didn't want anyone tracking her. In my head I was just sitting there thinking, "You've had an iphone for over a decade, "they" already know everything there is to know about you."
