Regarding the criminal case, he was released without any charges of detention because no damage was caused to the vehicle and no crime was committed.”

But Hamo said he couldn’t understand anyone who used the Nazi symbol to make his point, especially someone who shares his faith.
“People hate Elon Musk is one thing, but doing something like that is the next level,” Hamo said the post after the incident. “I am speechless. That’s just wrong … I don’t understand how someone thinks because I bought a car, it gives them the authorization to do this.”
