Unfortunately not uncommon traits in humans.

actually extremely uncommon traits in humans, which is why it took hundreds of thousands of years for it to get this bad, and why our species is still alive despite it.

I think they were referring to originally Jewish-owned companies that were taken over. Aren't these or at least some of these founded by the nazis themselves?

Volkwagen was a (Nazi) state founded company. It is one reason why the Nazis were popular because they genuinely gave people jobs with re-industrialisation (albeit on borrowed time because of excessive government spending, and of course with how history unfolded).

What I hate the most is how they always try paint themselves as a family business. Little family business called BMW with 150k employees, producing millions of cars each year.

More importantly, don't ask why the same people still owned companies after 1945.
