Musk pointed to Volkswagen's Nazi links after Milano said she was trading in her car for a VW because she didn't like the platform.
The "Charmed" star suggested on Saturday that she traded in her car because of Musk.
My car was given back by me. The VW ev was purchased by me. Milano said she loved it. I don't know how advertisers can buy space on the micro-blogging site. Products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy does not seem to be a winning business model.
Conservative comedians pointed out that Volkswagen was "literally founded" by the Nazis, to which Musk responded with a laugh and a " 100" sign.

Volkswagen was founded in Germany in 1937 by the Nazis. It was a pillar of Germany's economic recovery after the Second World War.
The brand initially struggled to break into the US market due to its Nazi heritage. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, there were four concentration camps and eight forced-labor camps on company owned property.
There was a spike in hate speech following Musk's takeover of his account. The figure had fallen back to pre-acquisition levels, according to the report. Advertisers are leaving in droves because of their concerns.
Stephen King has been critical of Musk since the takeover of the company and called him a terrible fit for the social networking site.
Glenn Howerton was the latest high-profile customer to voice concerns about the car, though he had different reasons for not being able to access his car.
Volkswagen is competing for EV sales outside the US. The German automaker was predicted to become the world's biggest EV maker by the year 2024.
The world's richest man has joked in the past that he dislikes other car makers because they give away free advertising to competitors to challenge him.
