Far left actress Alyssa Milano is facing a flood of criticism after trying to explain why she traded in her Tesla for a Volkswagen electric vehicle.

Outspoken actress and political activist Alyssa Milano constantly tries to drop some knowledge, but this time it didn’t go well. In a tweet over the weekend, Milano was mocked by thousands after announcing she gave back her Tesla and bought a Volkswagen EV instead.

I gave back my Tesla.

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 were quick to clap back, pointing out Volkswagen’s early ties to the Nazi party.

Conservative comedians, The Hodge Twins, were one of the first the first to weigh in. They replied to her post and tweeted back.

Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler. 🤡

Their response prompted a simple double-emoji response from Twitter CEO and Tesla CEO himself, Elon Musk.

🤣💯

Critics wasted no time and schooled Milano. On Twitter, country singer John Rich attached a link to history.com teaching her that back in 1937, Volkswagen was created when the Nazi-controlled German government formed the state-owned car-maker.

. @Alyssa_Milano hates @elonmusk so much she got rid of her Tesla for a VW, and the irony is epic🤣https://t.co/8DY25Z5Lo9

The Sorry Not Sorry Podcast host and political activist is known to express her views, including her pro-choice stance.

“History tells us this was never about abortion, centuries of men telling women what we can and can’t do with our bodies,” Milano said.

However, following her recent tweet, users believe that the actress should study history herself instead of trying to teach it.

Milano quickly defended herself and re-tweeted the producer of her podcast.

My first tweet in a week to say that VolksWagon became a global brand after WW2 when it’s New leader REJECTED Nazism. Tesla became a global brand and its CEO now wants to ENABLE Nazism.

These are not the same.

Then, an old tweet re-emerged in which Milano called Musk a genius.

Finally, as her post continued to circulate, fellow actress Alana Stewart posed a simple question.

This begs the question… Why is she still on Twitter? 🤣 @elonmusk

SpaceX is the first private spacecraft that can carry seven people to and from the International Space Station.

“And we do have a confirmed soft capture at 6:39 a.m. Central, 7:39 a.m. Eastern, while the International Space Station was flying over the Pacific Ocean,” a NASA launch official said.

The International Space Station will eventually carry six rollout solar arrays which will give the station a 20% energy supply boost.
