Europeans have still not forgotten the impact of WW2. Musk sieg heiling on live TV (twice!!!) is not something they take lightly. Tesla sales of cratered over there, rightfully so, because of his completely unforced error.

I’m European and nobody cares about WW2. References to that period of time do not go beyond punchlines. I have no idea why Tesla sales are cratering but this isn’t it.

If you're not a total doofus, you should be able to look around you and see how things still today are worse off because of the nazis than they would have been without them. But we have doofi among us, so you might just be one.

Yes, it's clear you have no idea. You can be ignorant in Europe too.

Maybe it depends on your age group but a lot of people do care. They gassed my grandfather's brother for example. It's not that ancient history.

Also fascist WW2 tanks rolling into Ukraine is somewhat reminiscent of the phenomenon of modern fascist tanks rolling into Ukraine.
