I hazard you that there's little to no market for things that are solely "highly memorable," especially politically polarizing ones. Most people don't want to own a Hitler Youth knife, for example.

There is actually a market for HJ knives.

Sure; emphasis on "most people."

But in this case, what’s interesting is if there is a market, not what “most people” will do.

I predict that in 50 years, the cyber trucks in mint condition will be worth a decent amount of money. It is the first of its kind(electric SUV).

It’s still a crappy car.
