I just didn’t understand the big deal. He’s a rich white man raised under apartheid Africa. Why are we surprised?
The world’s richest man does a nazi salute at the inauguration of the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world and everyone there claps, and you don’t think that’s a big deal?
Justifiable. Goes to show the corrupting influence of allowing sinister whispers into one’s head
I understand the sensation, but… does this make him any more fascist than he was yesterday?
it makes it harder for fence sitters to deny
He is an antisemite
Antisemitism is hatred towards Jews: calling Arabic the “language of the enemy” is certainly not better than being antisemite, but still it’s a different form of racism than antisemitism :)
Arabs are the largest Semitic group and Arabic is the most spoken Semitic language. If anyone can claim this exclusively, it is Arabs.
FYI: Most Ashkenazi Jews are genetically Europeans, surprising study finds
… “antisemtism” is still a word that means “hatred towards the Jews” :)
That’s how the Jews have labelled it. Don’t fall for the that trap.
Hitler said racism is only racism when it’s against the Aryan race. Therefore I cannot be racist when I burn down your family home and send your mother to a death camp.
I was like… maybe it is out of context but then I watched the video and was like… oh.

Well… I thought I’d seen most of the evil bullshit he posted but I guess I missed this one. Fair enough I stand corrected. I just didn’t think he had an ideological interest in anything that didn’t make him personally richer. But it seems I was wrong.
why the fuck are we rolling out the red carpet of excuses for this human trash!? it’s here, there’s no more ambiguity.
It is imo also a stupid argument. I can believe he was under drug influence, given his facial expression. But I don’t think that makes it much better, it just potentially lowered his self-control. But I yould also imagine that this was a planned gesture, given that he repeats it.
Didn’t mean to say that was better. It’s worse if anything. Didn’t think my POV was bad enough to be censored, I specifically mentioned it was just my POV, I could be wrong and he’s really a hard-core neo Nazi. I just didn’t think he has deep enough political thought beyond “what will get me more money and attention”
It’s hard to distinguish between the gormless ignoramuses and the crypto-fascists testing the waters for a new Nazi bar.
I think about this story all the time. it’s done well to inspire me in calling out bullshit fash talking points when I see them, it’s always the thin end of the wedge.
Please report them when you see them in the fediverse. Fascists will be emboldened now.
No F-ing way this guy did this shit. I’m almost convinced he does the dumbest shit to stir the headlines over and over. But then I probably give too much credit to a fool. Millions died you fuckin’ derelict.
Since nobody posted a link and the article doesnt either.
I promise you Musk is no fool and knew exactly what he was doing: signaling to other fascist that the thing they were told to “stand back and stand by” for has finally arrived.
Unless he’s remote controlled
I don’t know what you mean by that—blackmailed? Many oligarchs genuinely like fascism, because fascism serves their interests. There’s no reason to doubt that the richest person in the world might financially support fascism in order to suppress labor and slash regulations & taxes. Every fascist movement has been funded & organized by capitalists; they’re not grassroots movements.
I was referring to his neuralink company actually. If you carefully watch how he moves or speak he could be compared to a modern Frankenstein
The real world is wild enough without fantasy.
He’s playing a dangerous game We can laugh at him yet
Heil idiots!
