Porsche is owned by VW isn't it? The mismanaged Germany company that thought EVs were unimportant and refused to innovate for decades and probably funds the AfD? Yeah, this isn't a surprise.

With all the justified criticism against VW, saying that they're "probably" funding the AfD is just taking it too far.

Here is an article from a political left newspaper, which describes that even though the AfD defended VW against the "Dieselgate", the company was not willing to supply them cars with a discount (which wouldn't be uncommon normally), because the AfD with its "nationalistic traits" stands in contrast to the fundamental values of the Volkswagen Group.

I understand the irony obviously, but we live in the present and not the past.
