German luxury BMW car manufacturer was trolled Thursday after its UK unit suddenly announcing that it was not “more posting” on X – an action attributed by many users as a strange way to protest the site owner of social media Elon Musk.
Musk has faced consideration this week after twice extending his arm to a difficult gesture that critics called a “Nazi greeting” while appearing in President Trump’s inauguration.
“We are no longer posting on X,” wrote BMW UK on her official X account – without giving a reason for her decision.
“Don’t worry, our client support team is still here if you need us. You can also see all the latest BMW news following us on Facebook and Instagram at BMWUK.”
The company quickly withdrew from X users, who told about the strong history of BMW with Nazi Germany.
“This?” Activist Alt-right Jack Posobiec wrote and posted a black and held photo of Adolf Hitler visiting a BMW structure.
Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee even called for a brand boycott that controls himself as “the latest car”.
“BMW =” becoming more “,” Lee wrote in X. “Don’t buy their car”.
In 2016, the company expressed “deep regret” for the “great suffering” caused by its use of slaves during World War II.
“Elon simply said” my heart goes toward you. “You in turn … Your early story is not very clear, is it?” X use @left_right_2 said.
One user attracted that the BMW announcement was a “historical event” that “marks the first time a BMW has signaled before lane departure.”
Sawyer Meritt, who runs a prominent X account that often interacts with Musk, opened the BMW account in the UK.
“Their posts received an average of 12 likes,” Meritt wrote.
When it was reached for comment, a BMW spokesman in the UK said the split “will continue to be active on X” despite no longer posting on the account.
The spokesman did not answer the questions whether Musk’s behavior had sparked the action.
“The presence of the BMW group’s social media is managed by each country/region to address their unique demands,” the spokesman in one state said.
“In the UK we will continue to be active on X, providing a channel dedicated to customer support to meet the needs of our clients,” the spokesman added.
“This approach will change in our brands and regions, reflecting the specific needs of each market.”
Musk, 55, has fired those who accused him of giving him a Nazi greeting.
“Honestly, they need the best dirty tricks. The attack ‘everyone is Hitler’ is very tired, “Musk said in a post on X.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of those who came to the protection of Musk.
“Elon is an excellent friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst cruelty to the Jewish people since the Holocaust, “Netanyahu said.
