Alyssa Milano blasted by conservatives, Elon Musk after trading in Tesla for Volkswagen: 'Founded by Nazis'

Actress Alyssa Milano was blasted on Twitter, including by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, after saying that she "gave back" her Tesla and replaced it with a Volkswagen. 

"I gave back my Tesla," Milano, a prominent supporter of Democrats on Twitter, posted Saturday. "I bought the VW ev. I love it. I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model."

Twitter users, many of them conservative, criticized Milano over the tweet with many pointing out Volkswagen’s ties to the Nazi Party during the early days of its inception.

"Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler," conservative political commentators The Hodge Twins posted which earned a crying laughing emoji and a "100" emoji from Tesla CEO Elon Musk who recently purchased Twitter.

ELON MUSK SAYS HE'D CONSIDER 'ALTERNATIVE PHONE' IF TWITTER IS BOOTED FROM APPLE AND GOOGLE APP STORES

Representatives for Alyssa Milano did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Milano’s tweet suggested that she had found a way to give back her Tesla in response to Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter and the controversy that has surrounded his decision to bring back accounts that had been removed for violating the company’s terms of service, including former President Donald Trump’s.

"The people have spoken," Musk tweeted after a poll he posted on Twitter showed the majority of respondents wanted the former president back on the platform. "Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei."

Abraham Lincoln statue vandalized in Chicago

A statue of young Abraham Lincoln has been defaced with red paint and words referencing troubles with Native American tribes

The statue has stood in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood since the city donated it to Senn Park in 1997. 

And over Thanksgiving weekend residents around the park found the statue covered in splashes of red paint along with the words "COLONIZER" and "LAND BACK." The vandals also may have written "Dakota 38" in possible reference to 38 Dakota Sioux members executed on Lincoln’s order following the U.S.-Dakota war in 1862, the Chicago Tribune reported. 

The statue was one of many in the city examined as part of a commission set up after protests in 2020 that targeted statues of figures with controversial histories. Debate over former American presidents has proven especially contentious.

Chicago had removed a statue of Christopher Columbus at the recommendation of a city commission, but the same commission suggested further review for the Young Lincoln statue. 

But Lincoln, known famously for helping end legal slavery in the United States, has faced criticism in recent years following renewed focus on his role in the Sioux uprising. 

WASHINGTON MONUMENT VANDALIZED WITH VULGAR MESSAGE

The armed conflict between the U.S. and several bands of eastern Dakota raged for six weeks in southwestern Minnesota during the height of the Civil War after four young Dakota men attacked and killed five settlers. 

The war left 358 settlers, 77 U.S. soldiers and 29 volunteer militia members dead. The number of Dakota casualties is unknown, but Lincoln commuted the sentences for 303 of 498 captured Dakota men, thereby approving the execution of 38 Dakota men.

The Young Lincoln statue is the second one vandalized in Chicago in the past six weeks: Anonymous vandals similarly spray painted a statue of Lincoln in Chicago’s Lincoln Park in early October, writing the words "Dethrone the colonizers," Land back!" and "Avenge the Dakota 38." 

The group also posted lists of the 38 Dakota men and said it wanted to "tear down the myth of Lincoln the great liberator." 

Chicago police have no one in custody but detectives will continue to investigate.
