Is anyone surprised by this? Europeans still vividly remember, and are reminded, of the cost of WWII. When the head of a company, no matter how trendy, sieg heils on stage (twice!) and then goes on to publicly appear at far-right german political rallies - europeans take note, and act accordingly.

He went to Auschwitz after being pressured to apologize for some unhinged tweets. This was all before he swig heiled twice on stage.

That makes it(for me) so much worse, knowing that he's been to Auschwitz and still decided to do it.

It makes it an expression of his honest ideology as opposed to a thoughtless troll.

I don’t know, it sounds exactly like what a thoughtless troll would do.

So...it makes it worse(for me). Instead of being a stupid and foolish thing he did in the moment of high emotions it just confirms he's an actual Nazi. I'm literally from Oswiecim, used to go past Auschwitz on my way to school every day - the richest man on earth doing sieg heils on stage despite visiting this place is filling me with dread.
