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.

He also has been known to show up at costume parties dressed as a Nazi commander. (Long forgotten controversy from over a decade ago)

wtf, the only such instance I remember from a VIP is one of the UK princes. How can these people think that such stuff is acceptable is beyond me.

It came up at the same time as the UK prince as a "wealthy folks just do these things it's funny and not an endorsement you pleebs don't understand" sort of way.
