Tesla faces renewed boycott calls in Europe after Elon Musk's controversial remarks at a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, where he reportedly downplayed historical guilt. This led to Polish Minister Slawomir Nitras advocating a consumer boycott of Tesla, especially significant on the anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. Musk's statements, which suggest society should focus on optimism rather than guilt from the past, have provoked backlash in a region sensitive to its historical context regarding WWII atrocities.
"There is no justification for any reasonable Pole to continue purchasing Teslas. A serious and strong response is necessary, including a consumer boycott."
"I think there's, like, frankly, too much of a focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that."
