Ken Truner, 98 year old WWII veteran:
I’m old enough to have seen fascism the first time around; now it’s coming back. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe, and his money comes from Tesla cars. Well, I’ve got this message for Mr Musk. We’ve crushed fascism before and we’ll crush it again.
That quote hits like a thunderclap. Whether symbolic or literal, Ken Turner’s gesture captures a generational defiance that’s hard to ignore. The Greatest Generation didn’t just fight fascism — they lived through it, recognized it, and knew what it took to stop it. Turner’s message isn’t about cars or tanks — it’s about the danger of unchecked power and the moral clarity to confront it head-on.
There’s something powerful about seeing a 98-year-old veteran drawing a line and saying “not again” — especially at a time when history feels dangerously close to repeating itself.
