There’s
a
point
where
every
person
who
is
a
fan
of
Kanye
West’s
music
has
to
come
to
terms
with
recognizing
that
dude’s
a
Nazi.
For
some
it
was
when
Alex
Jones
of
all
people
had
to
tell
him
to
chill
out
on
the
“Hitler
had
redeemable
qualities”
claims.
For
others
it
was
the
track
HH
—
those
two
Hs
stand
for
exactly
what
you
think
they
do.
Playing
anything
that
Ye
has
recently
put
out
will
get
you
side-eyed
for
many
things,
one
of
them
likely
being
his
Nazi
sympathizing.
You
could
play
something
from
Graduation
and
earlier,
but
you
will
still
get
side-eyed.
Which
brings
us
to
Elon
Musk.
There’s
a
point
where
every
person
that
owns
a
Tesla
has
to
come
to
terms
with
recognizing
that
Elon
is
very
comfortable
with
Nazis.
For
some
it
was
when
he
cozied
up
with
the
AfD
or
when
he
sieg-gave-his-heart-out
shortly
after
Donald
Trump’s
re-election.
Driving
around
in
a
Tesla
after
everything
Musk
has
done
will
get
you
side-eyed:
Faced
with
this
reality,
what
do
you
do?
It’s
a
little
harder
to
change
out
your
car
than
to
take
Kids
See
Ghosts
out
of
the
rotation.
Some
people
are
rebranding
their
Teslas:
Some
people
who
bought
a
Tesla
before
Elon
Musk
started
duck
walking
at
the
podium
are
having
their
property
damaged:
The
reputational
damage
Musk
has
been
doing
isn’t
just
an
American
phenom.
Tesla
owners
in
France
are
getting
their
reputations
hurt
by
Musk’s
actions
and
they
want
to
sue
Tesla
over
it.
Reuters
has
coverage:
“Tesla
vehicles
have
become
powerful
political
symbols
and
are
now
perceived
as
true
far-right
‘totems,’
much
to
the
dismay
of
those
who
purchased
them
solely
as
innovative
and
eco-friendly
vehicles”,
the
plaintiffs’
lawyers
Patrick
Klugman
and
Ivan
Terel
at
law
firm
GKA
said
in
a
statement.
…
The
group
is
seeking
to
terminate
their
lease
contracts
and
recover
legal
costs
at
the
Paris
Commercial
Court,
citing
the
“direct
and
concrete”
harm
caused
by
Musk’s
public
behaviour
after
he
rallied
in
support
of
Donald
Trump’s
presidential
bid
and
Germany’s
far-right
AfD
party.
There
should
be
a
threshold
question:
what
model
of
Tesla
are
these
litigants
driving?
There
is
some
credence
if
they’re
lamenting
the
social
value
of
their
Model
T
going
to
shit,
but
any
plaintiff
making
this
argument
with
a
Cyber
Truck
needs
to
get
slapped
with
a
summary
judgment.
Cyber
Truck
is
to
Alt-Right
grifter
as
Subaru
Outback
is
to
shared
homeowners
that
historians
will
describe
as
“good
friends.”
Umm,
no
you
didn’t.
That
Kenmore
refrigerator
monstrosity
you’re
driving
wasn’t
released
until
after
Elon
went
full
nazi

So
far
10
Tesla
leaseholders
are
in
on
the
suit.
Gotta
bump
those
numbers
up!
In
the
meantime,
here’s
a
picture
to
drive
the
Elon
Musk
and
Kanye
West
are
doing
the
same
dumb
shit
point
home:
crop

here
is

While
I
commend
the
suit,
they
should
have
seen
the
reputational
costs
coming
from
miles
away.
