usertests ASML rank-and-file employees should have chips implanted into their brains to make sure they don't experience Chinese sympathies. Reply

coolitic Entirely to be expected, but not really note-worthy or significant… Reply

Dr3ams "Nazi sympathies" Really. I don't think those employees know what a Nazi really is. Reply

DS426 I rarely think shutting down a conversation is a good thing. One doesn't need to like the guy, but let's hear what he has to say as he has the potential to profoundly impact the industry and particularly ASML like no one else can. Name-calling… yeah, my young children do that a lot. Reply

If you do, you do realise that the Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany during WW2, right? That is there Anne Frank's house is and you can visit (I have twice; great historical context) if you just want to start to grasp how horrible it was to live during that time in there. If there is a group of people that KNOWS VERY WELL what a Nazi is, then it's people from Nazi occupied countries that still remember the horrors of it. Your post is very disrespectful and, I dare saying, ignorant. If you're not from the USA and you are indeed from a country that was occupied by the Nazi, then why make that post? — As for the article*. Well, this is what FAFO looks like to me. Regards. Reply

Workers are free to not want someone with toxicity in their blood to speak to them when he is just a walking piggybank who only hires people to do stuff for him not do it himself. Reply

I live in Germany. The label and word "Nazi" is applied to people and situations that have nothing to do with what the Nazis were and did. Or do you think Elon Musk is capable of enslaving and slaughtering millions of humans? In addition, the left have called everyone that is right to their left a Nazi. This group of disgruntled workers is doing the same and the reason is "…his involvement in U.S. politics". Not because he really is a Nazi. Like I said, they have no idea and/or could care less what a Nazi really is and was, they just want to vilify someone who doesn't agree with them using whatever slander they can get their hands on (and rallies their cause).
