Not that swasticar, this swasticar.
To be fair, VW is a company that had ties to fascism during WW2, if you buy a Tesla today, you're putting money in the pocket of fascism. There's definitely a difference.
Also just to add, mainly because it's so interesting, that a lot of current existing companies participated in the holocaust, including US ones like Ford: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
I watched a documentary on this and IIRC the company was basically about to be shutdown after the war but got external investment and a whole new leadership team. Keeping the factories open revived the German economy and stopped them slipping into another fascist regime.
I think the winning countries learned their lesson after WW1.
