    He said he didn’t mean it as a Nazi salute, is that not enough?

    There is so much else to criticize, I don’t know why we continue beating this dead horse, I’m not even sure it’s in good faith at this point.

    I mean unless there is something else he’s done to point to being a Nazi that I just haven’t seen, barring hyperbole like “he’s a trump supporter”.

          Here you go, I’m sure there are more examples but you’ll have to be willing to go looking for them. Keep in mind I just pulled these from a Google search and I’m sure he has people working to suppress things as best he can.

          Musk believes in racist ideology like the “great replacement theory” and more fun racist stuff in this article.

          More current events and reminders in ho X as a platform promoted and still promotes Nazi crap.

            That is bad, though his response doesn’t even make sense to me given the context.

            Musk, in subsequent posts, said he does not believe hatred of White people extends “to all Jewish communities.” But he said the Anti-Defamation League “unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat.”

            I guess the anti-defamation league stands against people who don’t want to immigrate certain minority groups, and he’s pointing out that they generally tend to dislike Jewish people?

            I just don’t see where he pulled the ADL from, unless something happened the day of the tweet?

      If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

      A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.

      You’re an idiot who should suck on a lead pipe and encase your mouth and hands in epoxy resin so nobody is ever subject to hearing your thoughts again

      But i don’t mean that as an insult, so don’t you dare be offended by it

      Does a nazi salute twice. Says that the two nazi salutes we all saw him make on video were not nazi salutes. That’s called gaslighting.

      And as far as evidence he’s a fascist, it’s on display every day. Like when he gave his full support to Germany’s AfD party. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/10/nx-s1-5252473/elon-musk-germany-election-afd-candidate-alice-weidel
