The Dark Meaning Behind Matsson's 'Doderick Macht Frei' Tweet

Notably, "arbeit macht frei" adorned the gates of the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz, and roughly translates to "work makes you free" in German. As for the Doderick part, the cartoon dog is Waystar Royco's answer to Mickey Mouse, and in case you forgot, Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) donned a Doderick costume in the first season... and then threw up through its eyeholes in front of a group of terrified kids.

Aside from the clever rhyme, this joke is, obviously, incredibly gross — but Matsson has basically no boundaries, and he's eager to get Living+ off of his plate, as he tells Shiv earlier in the episode. (He keeps asking if she can halt the announcement and she demurs at every turn, potentially siding with her brothers on the issue.) As Matsson sees it, his only move is to go nuclear right in the middle of Kendall's presentation... but it backfires onto the Swede when all is said and done. Kendall handles it in the moment with aplomb, and after he responds calmly and doesn't melt down in front of the investors, Matsson quietly deletes the tweet. For now, it seems like Kendall has him beat, but everything still has time to change completely.
