    Do you guys really think Elon Musk is a nazi? Do you think his dumb salute wasn’t a dumb mistake in the moment? He’s clearly a dork, a desperate old richest man trying to be cool. And he may think the economics of 1930s Germany had some merit but do you really think he’s out here trying to commit a genocide or something?!

    Don’t get me wrong. All the things he’s doing with the government are legitimately terrible. DOGE is ruthless and insane. He’s cutting like he cut at Twitter and look how that turned out. Twitter was one of the longest running successful platforms and he completely destroyed it.

    I’m not defending him, but I do believe it’s better to focus attention on what they’re actually DOING to undermine the govt instead of painting swastikas on cybertrucks or posting nazi memes.

    • It’s common for ultra wealthy dudes to think they don’t have enough freedom. Dumb thought.

    • Elon could have unlimited freedom, just leave the states. Another rich hypocrite.

    • “road to hell is paved with good intentions”. He’s not a nazi, but he has a utopian vision. The nazis had utopian visions too(in their minds). Utopia is riskymonNom
    • In fact, you could probably link the worst atrocities in human history with the implementation of some concept of a utopia...monNom
    • But the best things in human history also stem from a utopian ideal (ie: individual freedom, democracy). You need the right ideal, and the right implementationmonNom
    • His stated plans for the future sound pretty benign. Maybe he’s hiding some kind of authoritarian ethnostate in there somewhere but I haven’t heard a hint of itmonNom
    • More likely we all end up ruled by a chatbot than we do by a king.monNom
    • He openly supports the AFD in Germany, and that is the closest thing to an official Nazi.Longcopylover
    • Isn't it possible to pay attention to what they're actually up to, while also enjoying the memes?MrT
    • exactly.... afd is not only close... it has neo nazi members....neverscared
    • as the verfassungsschutz analysed and proofed.neverscared
    • at this point it would be more clever to come out as a straight up nazi than to continue doing what ever the hell he think is doingmaquito
    • I mean "Nazi" depends on how you define it. I think he's more line an origarch. But he's using right wing rhetoric to gain powerProjectile
    • ...and a lot of that is Nazi-adjacent.
      He's not openly racist enough to be a classic nazi, but he clearly has dodgy thoughts      Projectile
    • the guy did the sieg Heil in front of the world, more than once. Exactly what more proof are we all looking for? that was no mistake. that was on purpose.exador1
    • If you did that at work you'd be fired for cause even if you aren't a nazi. No special pleading for this African immigrant who has no right in the white housemonospaced
