Not sure why this is downvoted. Even if you dispute if that have gesture was a Nazi salute, or think that people shouldn't consider the behavior of a CEO when making a purchase, this is the reality.

My thinking as well. Regardless of intent, trolling or otherwise, the fact that he did that is a huge miss and the most irrational behavior, not something you want in a leader.
It's wild to see this being downvoted while explanations based on build quality are going to the top. I'm not sure if it's a coordinated effort to suppress criticism of him from the Nazi perspective or that I was just wrong to assume the anti-fascist feeling that's so strong here in Europe must also exist in the US and the rest of the old Western world.
