You think Coke wants to advertise itself next to people saying racial slurs and harassing queer kids?

Also Musk likes them.

Yes.

In 1933, right when Hitler and the Nazi Party were assuming power, German-born Max Keith (pronounced “Kite”) took over the company’s German subsidiary, Coca-Cola GmbH. Keith was an imposing figure: tall, intimidating, possessing a “little whisk-broom mustache” (not unlike Hitler’s), charming but quick-tempered, and utterly devoted to Coca-Cola. “[Keith] valued his allegiance to the drink and to the company more than his allegiance to his own country,” says Pendergrast. For that reason, he saw no quarrel with boosting sales by tying Coca-Cola to every aspect of German life and, increasingly, Nazi rule.

I mean, TBF today they wouldn't want to advertise next to nazi stuff. Don't get it wrong though, if it were more profitable to advertise for the stoning of gays or immigrants or whatever you can be damn certain they would. Corps don't care about race, gender, orientation, pronouns, or whatever else. All that matters is the dollar.

Also TBF. If the nazi party was still as popular as it was at its peak, they definitely would support it.
