And like all of Japan and all of Italy and all of Germany. They were on opposite sides in a war. There are degrees of support, ut part of the process of ending war is moving forward without constant grudge holding. Certainly, hold those responsible that committed heinous crimes, but we don’t put entire populations and all their industry in jail.

VW currently is still doing terrible things, but no more than other companies. Elon is magnitudes worse on many fronts.
