What's his thinking here? "Gee golly, two fascists salutes weren't enough. I'd better double down!"

Tesla's European sales will be interesting to watch this year.

I love SpaceX. I used to like Musk quite a bit. Now that he has shown us his true stripes, I find the man abhorrent. He is a disgrace and an embarrassment. He should probably be deported or jailed, he does not belong in a free and just country. I doubt very few of us would be tolerant of Nazis and Fascists, and indeed we should be completely intolerant of Musk.
Admirable, in a weird way. AfD is smelly among people with education or money, ie. among anyone's desirable customers. Disregarding prospective customers like that is... admirable? Not sure what to say.
Someone downvoted, perhaps because they dislike Elon and/or AfD? I have considerable sympathy for the dislike. IMO AfD is the political party of choice if one happens to be a nazi, a closet nazi, a schwachmat or several of the above.

But standing up for one's opinions and speaking them in public, even when it's clear that doing so will create major problems for Tesla, is somehow admirable.

Standing up for neo-nazi opinions is in no way admirable. I don't think you mean to but these apologies normalize supremest ideologies.
Yes… in many people's opinion, you should never ever say anything kind about people like Elon. Fuck him BTW but go ahead and downvote me, because I intend to be kind.

(Supremacist, thus spelt.)

"There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that."

This is a neo-Nazi talking point.

It was a nice gesture.
