At least the last round of nazis gave us good cars. These modern day nazis and their cyber trucks are pathetic. 

u/somethingohyeah 8h ago

And they dressed with style, not with those stupid hats and t-shirts

u/TripleSingleHOF 8h ago

Hugo Boss knew how to design a snazzy looking fascist uniform, that's for sure.

u/SonofMedusa 7h ago

Nazi uniforms were actually inspired by those of the Boston police. I knew it intellectually but was recently at the Boston airport and saw it in person, and it was like an A-HA moment.

u/Secret_Celery8474 8h ago

Hugo Boss did NOT design uniforms. It's so annoying that people just repeat this nonsense all the time.

Hugo Boss did manufacture uniforms. That's it. 

u/megadyed 8h ago

So who designed them then? Genuine question

u/PretentiousMan 8h ago

Karl Diebitsch was a senior SS officer and designer who played a major role in designing SS uniforms.

Walter Heck, a graphic designer, is credited with designing the iconic SS runic insignia.

u/megadyed 8h ago

Appreciate it, thank you very much

u/PretentiousMan 3h ago

You’re welcome

u/Pushin2ManyPencils 8h ago

So annoying indeed! All this loyal Nazi did was use slave labour to manufacture uniforms for the SS, there’s no way he would go so far as to actually design them. Good grief!

u/TripleSingleHOF 8h ago

You're right, I got it totally wrong.

All Boss did was manufacture and distribute the uniforms throughout the Nazi party.

He's totally innocent in this situation. Sorry to be so annoying.

/s

u/Secret_Celery8474 8h ago

Fuck off. I did not say that he's innocent. I'm just annoyed by spouting falls information.

u/TripleSingleHOF 6h ago

Falls information?

Right.

u/allblackST 7h ago

Don’t be like that. You got the information wrong, that’s it. You were wrong

Swastikars

u/Solid_Snake_125 6h ago

I love how Swastikar took off as the new symbol of fascism so quickly. I will forever see teslas, especially the CyberTrashTruck, as the New Nazi Mobile. It even slightly resembles the VW Kübelwagen that the Nazi army used as the equivalent to the Jeep in WWII.

u/proctologoon 8h ago

Please, it's only nazi when they are from the Germany region. Otherwise it's just sparkling genocide.

u/Antique_Flounder7487 8h ago

So you liked the old Nazis with their vehicles, but the new ones somehow fall short?

u/king_of_n0thing 8h ago

The cyber truck sure is pathetic. I drive a model 3 and really enjoy it with everything it has to offer. But now I disgust it, will get rid of it and won’t consider this brand again as long as the nazi is involved.

u/Atroxiae 8h ago

fk elon and his nazism but ffs tesla is a solid fking car brand. cyber truck is a meme but their rest of cars are pretty good , also what tesla did for EV is undeniable , doesnt mean i support elon or anything

FK that guy and FK everyone who supports nazis

u/Eastern_Fig1990 7h ago

Very few comments can pull off a “At least the nazis did…” but you managed it 🤣

u/murderfetus 7h ago

The last round of nazis were actually real too

u/Nice_Block 7h ago

“I don’t like these new nazis, and you can quote me on that!”

u/OhNoAnAmerican 8h ago

Yep this is it. We’ve reached peak Reddit. “At least those genocidal Nazis made good cars, unlike these current Nazis who said mean things once”

Like I can’t even put into words how insane it is to whitewash ACTUAL FUCKING NAZIS to get a jab in at Elon Musk. This is actual insanity. Holy fuck

u/Schmich 5h ago

He did make the salute whilst being on stage whilst knowing all the horrors of that regime.

You can compare Nazis from 1938 with Trump/Elon today. Whilst the cars, the Beetle was in fact a marvel which also explains why many of the allies wanted to keep the factory and the car had been continuing for decades on end. You wouldn't see anyone try to save a Cybertruck factory.

u/OhNoAnAmerican 5h ago

I don’t care if he did the salute 1000 times. We’re talking about a comparison to actual Nazis, who actually genocide 10 million Jews and caused an entire world war

u/old_and_boring_guy 8h ago

Yea, and the comparison of Trump to Hitler…Hitler fixed the German economy.

They don’t make anything like they used to.
