"Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model."
Reaction to the announcement was mixed to say the least, with some people pointing out that the vehicle company started in Nazi Germany and was backed by Adolf Hitler.
"The Volkswagen company originated during the Third Reich in an attempt to create an affordable car for the German people," wrote one.

"Volkswagen used both Jewish and non-Jewish labour.
"The company operated four concentration camps and eight forced-labour camps on its property.
Another user wrote: "Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi's and Hitler."
Musk replied to that with a laughing face and a 100 emoji.
According to History.com, the government of Germany - then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party - formed a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH on 28 May, 1937. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or 'The People’s Car Company.'
Milano later elaborated on her decision during an appearance on The View, saying it was, in part, due to sexual misconduct allegations made against the SpaceX founder that emerged earlier this year.
