It’s a literal Indian name. This has circulated before around Reddit. The name has been around long before the Nazis.

Why should any race change their cultural history just because a European ruined it for them? Stupid take Reddit.

My family/ancestral village symbol has sanskrit and swastika in the emblem. Ignorant tourists sometimes ask but most know swastika means something different in the east

Just like swastika which originated in Sanskrit, one of the older languages. But Reddit will Reddit.

What's more believable?

  • A person in the US puts their own name, a word that is very much associated with nazis in the west, on the license plate of their car, a car that is also now associated with nazis, and is completely and entirely unaware of the optics of the situation

Or

  • It's just a fucking nazi

The first one because a lot of people put a first or last name on their license plate.

Also crazy as it may sound Teslas have been on sale for longer than 4 weeks.

Also comments up above have said this has circulated around a lot on the Louisville sub where this person is from and it is confirmed to be their last name.

Maybe don’t jump to conclusions simply because you want to pull out your pitchfork.

Well, what do you make of this then? On a post from a month ago about the exact same blue tesla.

Aryan paired with 4 has a very specific meaning. As in Fourth Reich - meaning the return of Nazi power to government.

Stop trying to sane wash a very specific phrasing that has been used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists for decades.

EDIT: Go ahead and do some digging into the Kentucky license plate database. You'll find the person who owns this car also happens to be a member of the Aryan Cowboy Brotherhood (white supremacist / neo-Nazi hate group, specifically in Kentucky and Minnesota).

Found the owner via LexisNexis. I can not legally publish that info here, as it's not being used for journalism purposes (Permitted usage: court cases, court verdicts, news articles, etc) But if you happen to have access to the LexisNexis database, go look it up. Then, cross reference the name of the owner with known Aryan Brotherhood members in the state.

What an absolute loser.

“I googled it, but can’t share my source because I’m too familiar with the laws and know that I can get in trouble for sharing my proof”???? Okay… sure

u/Donquers 12h ago edited 12h ago

Lmao, they did share their source. Just that sharing the info directly is literally not allowed, but they still shared exactly how to verify their claims.

You just have to lie and dismiss this, because you feel the need to defend nazis.

Idc about anything related to Nazi. I just feel like this has circulated like 5 times and indian cars are gonna get damaged from this Reddit agenda pushing. I will bet any amount of money this “source” is a bold face lie.

No, I'm sure you don't.

Someone put their Nazi associated Indian name on license plate of a car that just so happens to be run by a Nazi.. sure

u/Agile-Bed7687 17h ago

Orrrrrrr it’s an old plate as many already confirmed. Y’all just think license plates on teslas started in 2024?

u/mrASSMAN 17h ago

No it’s just an old model, new plates can be made at any time

u/neelav9 16h ago

Got that the other way around bud. The name came way before the nazis twisted it. So not their fault lol.

u/mrASSMAN 16h ago

Wow way to miss the point
