BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here

If people knew what the Nazis were planning to do back then, they might have boycotted BMW and Mercedes too, strangling them in the crib. Americans know what Nazis are; they were literally our biggest enemy and our greatest military victory, and the vast majority of Americans oppose Nazis. I think the only hesitation seems to be that people either don't believe Elon actually is a Nazi, or that they think he's just "TrOlLiNg ThE LiBs!!!11".

Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.

That really sucks, and I don't think you are a Nazi... but you're driving a BMW in 1933. You're not going to get any sympathy from people on the right side of history.

This is a dumb framing. People want to stop climate change to protect themselves and their loved ones from having to live in an inhospitable hellscape and doom humanity to extinction, not because of an emotional connection to the actual planet.

Lots of good suggestions in this thread already, but I just want to bring up another option that may be more friendly for your budget: piracy. Do your research and try to identify a ship containing what you want that needs to pass near a pirate hotspot, then hire a group of freelancers (or use a broker) to take the prize. You’ll need to set up the logistics in advance, and make sure you take into account the other goods on the ship when negotiating terms. Don’t pay anything up front, as that’s a common scam. These pirate groups can secure their own weapons and boats, so find another group if they start trying to get you to fund that.

You’ll also need to organize transportation of the goods once you have the ship. Unloading a container from one of those big boats isn’t easy, especially if the one you want is at the bottom of a stack. Your best bet is to find a corrupt harbor master and bribe him. Without that, it could take weeks or months to unload your wax.

After that comes transportation, which may involve smuggling the goods across a border, forging paperwork, etc. That’s its own can of worms, but you’ll need to research the specifics based on your actual requirements.
