Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweets out Hitler parody aimed at stock's short-sellers

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is still coming up with new ways to take aim at the stock’s short-sellers via his Twitter account, even if they are slightly distasteful.

Just yesterday, Musk took to Twitter to post an altered clip from “Downfall”, a movie chronicling the last days of Adolf Hitler as he fights his final battles against the Allied forces.

In Musk’s doctored YouTube version of the movie, Hitler plays a fund manager who is caught shorting Telsa stock and screams at his staff for providing him with misinformation about the company.

“If Tesla doesn’t go bankrupt soon, I’ll lose everything,” says Hitler in Musk’s clip.

Musk has much to be thankful for about Tesla at the moment, as the electric-car maker’s shares have surged as much as 16% since its earnings report was released last week.

Amazon swats Nazi products

Separately, the retailing giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) had some news with a Nazi-related twist as well over the weekend.

In response to scathing criticism from lobbying groups and politicians, Amazon has pulled an array of Nazi and white supremacist-related items from its platform.

The problem was brought to the public’s attention last month after the Action Center on Race and the Economy published a report that showcased the sale of disturbing products via Amazon which included swastika pendants, baby clothing featuring burning crosses – which are symbolic of the Ku Klux Klan – as well as a child’s back-pack emblazoned with a frog sporting a hat with a Nazi insignia.

The report sparked public outrage and prompted Representative Keith Ellison, a Democrat from Minnesota, to write a complaint to Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s CEO.

“The availability of all the material listed in the aforementioned report indicates to me that either Amazon is willfully refusing to enforce its own policies against the sale of racist products or its sheer size makes it impossible for the company to police itself,” he wrote.

Amazon responded to the criticism by blocking the accounts of the retailers selling the unsavory merchandise.

In pre-market trade, Tesla shares were flat at US$346.70  and so were Amazon shares, which held steady at US$1,828.50.
