Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even given the most charitable reading that he was doing a Nazi salute to troll people instead of because he's an actual Nazi, the whole intention behind trolling is to piss people off.
And I'm not inclined to give this steaming coprolite any charity, because he acts like a fuckin' Nazi.
(I'm not going to play along with the whole "he said his heart goes out" bullshit. Other Nazis sure knew what he was doing and loved it.)
the nazis were trolls. they would have loved 4chan
What do you mean "would have", they're there right now.
You don't even need this to have happened given what he's done with DOGE and his buying an election. People would have still hated him, just not as many.
Unrelated (completely related) : chatgpt refuses to acknowledge musk having anything to do with Nazis, even when presented with facts about his "memes" and his Nazi salutes. And will not write a story about musk and his Nazi associated acts.
It will happily tell you stories about Hitler.
He uses all the Nazi secret code shit. Like his fascination with the letter X for example which is modern Nazi code for Heil Hitler. Saying that Hitler did not kill millions of people. He throws it right out there and expects the world to ignore it.
I think there's also the possibility that he genuinely believes a significant majority agrees with him.
