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.

It was widely covered throughout Europe. And widely despised throughout Europe across the political spectrum from left to right. To suggest it's unrelated is a profoundly unserious suggestion.

To suggest that market moves based on antics of a US CEO seems unserious to me.

Cars in particular tend to get bound up in peoples' self-image (to a rather unhealthy degree IMO, but anyway...) Few people would want the association.
