Leftist actress Alyssa Milano made a fool of herself with perhaps the most dumbfounding social media post this weekend.
In order to fight ‘hate’ and ‘white supremacy,’ Milano proudly announced that she was trading in her Tesla for a Volkswagen ev.
“I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it. I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model,” Milano tweeted.

Screenshot in case the tweet gets deleted:
Milano was viciously mocked for her ignorance.
She obviously hasn’t read the history of Volkswagen and its ties to Hitler.
Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler. 🤡

So brave.
“Originally operated by the German Labor Front, a Nazi organization, Volkswagen was headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. In addition to his ambitious campaign to build a network of autobahns and limited access highways across Germany, Hitler’s pet project.” https://t.co/f5UnPjBOj1 pic.twitter.com/Wsking7OKH

Via History:
On May 28, 1937, the government of Germany—then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party—forms a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or “The People’s Car Company.”
Originally operated by the German Labor Front, a Nazi organization, Volkswagen was headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. In addition to his ambitious campaign to build a network of autobahns and limited access highways across Germany, Hitler’s pet project was the development and mass production of an affordable yet still speedy vehicle that could sell for less than 1,000 Reich marks (about $140 at the time). To provide the design for this “people’s car,” Hitler called in the Austrian and German automotive engineer Ferdinand Porsche. In 1938, at a Nazi rally, the Fuhrer declared: “It is for the broad masses that this car has been built. Its purpose is to answer their transportation needs, and it is intended to give them joy.” However, soon after the KdF (Kraft-durch-Freude)-Wagen (“Strength-Through-Joy” car) was displayed for the first time at the Berlin Motor Show in 1939, World War II began, and Volkswagen halted production. After the war ended, with the factory in ruins, the Allies would make Volkswagen the focus of their attempts to resuscitate the German auto industry.
Milano hasn’t been the best judge of character either.

And before it was fashionable for leftists to hate Elon Musk, Milano had different feelings about the Tesla CEO.
These old tweets from Milano resurfaced:
Before it became trendy to hate Elon Musk, Alyssa Milano was his greatest fan. Why are people like this? pic.twitter.com/HkczFrAmFQ

Milano attempted to bash Elon Musk but failed miserably.
