Summary
Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.
Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.
His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”
Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.
ORLY?
I mean that’s certainly outrageous
But it also certainly tells me he’s a nazi
He’s a Nazi from Nazi family, fuck him
He’s just a Nazi boy from a Nazi family
Spare us a trial from this monstrosity
Sleazy Musk, sleazy DOGE, will he let X go?
The SMELL, bra, NO he will not let it go!
He will sieg heil, tho!
Let’s look on the bright side. He is still reluctant to publicly acknowledge it, which means that even he knows it is a shameful thing to be. I would be more afraid if he said “Hell yeah, I am, what are you gonna do about it? Do you own a President like I do?”
Don’t give him ideas
I mean I guess this might be conspiracy territory (although at this point I feel he’s pretty much completely admitted as much through his whole “I am become meme” cringe persona) but I feel like it’s pretty clear he knew exactly what he was doing at the inauguration and just did it as a “lol watch what edgy thing I’m gonna do… and they won’t do a thing about it” and he was 8 billion percent right. Nobody did a damn thing.
Don’t say that on Lemmy. You’ll get a bunch of defensive milquetoast liberals demanding to hear know what YOU’VE done before you’re allowed to speak on the issue.
Seigheiling nazi piece of shit
Elon is a Cowardly Nazi Billionaire, which is somehow astronomically more pathetic than being just a Nazi, which is already one of the most pathetic things you can be…
Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence…
- He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people “push hatred” against white people
- He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
- He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
- He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
- He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
- After the inauguration “gesture”, instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
- He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people
It’s not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it’s a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports
Supporting the AfD party, an openly neo-nazi party, and appearing in their events, days after the “roman salute” removed any kind of ambiguity that could exist. He’s a nazi, period. And the only good nazis are dead nazis.
The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There’s not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini’s National Fascist Party.
It wasn’t, a few years before Mussolini came to power a film came out depicting the Roman Empire, nothing political, but it was known to have inspired Mussolini’s character and public image, and was the first instance of what was known to be the “Roman salute” from which Mussolini borrowed as he was so inspired by the film, it was never historically used by Romans. Ordinary things made an amazing doc on Mussolini and his rise to power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xhwx8z8mJc
Additionally, the Nazis on 4chan et. al. had no problem recognizing the symbol for what it was. It was the pearl-clutching lib enablers who had trouble recognizing it
This post does not mean “voting is useless”, tankies fuck off
Well elon a start would be saying on live tv
“I am not a nazi. I detest everything nazis stand for. White supremacy is bad”
That would be a start
A start would have been not throwing a nazi salute.
twice in a row.
But like that’s really hard.
Bro literally intentionally does a Nazi salute on TV and then whines when people say he’s a Nazi…
That’s because he doesn’t understand consequences
He’s starting to experience them at least.
No because in his deluded mind he believes he’s the target of harassment.
Unfortunately I don’t think a lot of people in my country do…
Oh, he understands the consequences. Everything he’s saying now is an act. He’s lying now, he lies constantly, and he relies on people not pointing it out.
Don’t want to be accused of being a Nazi, then don’t fucking act like one you stupid cunt.
If you’re looking for sympathy you can look elsewhere.
Nazi works, but if he’d prefer something else, “technofascist” and “neo-feudalist” are both arguably even more accurate.
Or we could go a different way - “psychopathic douchebag” has a nice ring to it, or maybe “delusional fuckhead.”
He behaves like a Nazi so he’s a Nazi. And clearly calling him that is getting under his skin, so it’s working. I don’t think using a different word will have the same effect. Heck, he might even latch onto neo-feudalist thinking it’s cool or something.
Yeah, Nazi is too 1930’s. Technofascist, that’s what Elon Musk is.
If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄
- re-instates white supremacists accounts on Twitter while also banning journalists accounts (so its clearly not a “free speech” excuse of for the re-instatements
- backs the aFD whose party leader has been fined multiple times for using Nazi slogans
- Musk personally performs two back-to-back Nazi salutes from a podium on national television in front of huge live audience
For someone claiming to not be a Nazi he sure does Nazi things.
Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination
Only character?
straight-arm salute
It’s called a nazi salute. Don’t spread doubt on what it was. He did it twice in close succession. The only other reason for holding your arm up like that is when you explain how high Blondie, Hitler’s dog, could jump.
‘Nazi’ isn’t a preferable pronounce, it’s what you’re called when you act like a nazi, talk like a nazi and salute like a fucking nazi.
