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
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.
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

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

- 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.

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...
If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄
On a completely unrelated topic, just look at Hitler sending his heart out to his people, how heartwarming.

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.
Elon Musk's grandfather was critical of the Nazis for not being anti-semitic enough.

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.

That's exactly what a Nazi would say
Calling the press propaganda was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press
"Lying press" (German: Lügenpresse, lit. 'press of lies' [ˈlyːɡn̩ˌpʁɛsə] ⓘ) is a pejorative and disparaging political epithet used largely for the printed press and the mass media at large.
The Nazis adopted the term for their propaganda against the Jewish, communist, and later the foreign press. In 1922 Adolf Hitler used the accusation of the "lying press" for the Marxist press.[citation needed] In the Mein Kampf chapter on war propaganda, he described what he saw as the extraordinary effect of enemy propaganda in the First World War. He criticized German propaganda as ineffective and called for 'better' propaganda, which, allegedly like that of the English, French or Americans, was to be oriented towards psychological effectiveness.[6] Accusations of "lying" against domestic journalism can be found in his speeches, for example against the "social democratic press", Jewish liberals, etc.
Hermann Göring used the expression on 23 March 1933 in his speech during the debate on the Enabling Act of 1933 in the Reichstag.[8] In the same speech he denied attacks on Jewish shops and desecrations of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries.
In December 1937, Manfred Pechau summarized parts of his dissertation ("National Socialism and German Language", Greifswald 1935) in the National Socialist monthly and listed synonyms for what he called "Jewish-Marxist lying press", including "Jewish journals".[9] The party's official educational and speaker information material, published in 1938 by the Reich Propaganda Management of the NSDAP, includes comments on the anti-Semitic November pogroms in 1938 by foreign media as reactions of the "propaganda and lying press" which allegedly represented a new field of slander against the Reich.[10]
In several speeches by Joseph Goebbels from the first half of 1939, "Lügenpresse" is used to characterize the media abroad, especially in the future World War II opponents, the United States, France, and Great Britain.[11] At this point in time, the German domestic press had been "synchronized" (controlled) and a critical domestic press that the National Socialists referred to as the "Lügenpresse" no longer existed. The Nazi propaganda reacted to the false report of Max Schmeling's death with an attack on the "foreign lying press".[12] There were also variations in this terminology; the Völkischer Beobachter, for example, referred to the "emigrant and international lying press" to deny reports about the poor health of the imprisoned Carl von Ossietzky, [13] and in 1932, it rejected criticism of Rosenberg using the formula "Marxist lying press".[14]
In 1942, Baldur von Schirach described the French journalist Geneviève Tabouis, who published reports on the expansion plans of National Socialism, as "the embodiment of this nifty lying press that was available to anyone who knew how to pay"; in the same context he claimed that "90 percent of all Paris newspapers" were under "Jewish influence" and that the newspaper editorial offices were staffed by "over 70 percent" Jews.[15]
The expression was also used in speeches at carnival events that were used to bolster the party.[16]
After the National Socialist Condor Legion bombed the city of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War and this led to appalled reactions in the world, General Franco's propaganda accused the "Jewish lying press" of disinformation, claiming that this was a press maneuver by the Bolsheviks; this happened in harmony with the Nazi propaganda.[17][18]
In 1948, Walter Hagemann analyzed how the Nazi press used the accusation of the "lying press" against the foreign press. He observed that readers should be made aware of how vigilant and reliable German journalism and politics are on this point. The rejection of the Allied "horror reports" as products of the "Jewish journal" was part of this Nazi strategy.[19]

Look guys, just because he bought Twitter and reinstated all the Nazi accounts, and thinks and says Nazi things, and and performed an obvious Nazi salute not once, but twice in a live broadcast to millions of homes, that doesn't mean he's a Nazi!

Musk claims he's targeted for character assassination
Seem to remember him character assassinating a dude who helped save some Thai children a decade or so ago, except that was false and him acting real Nazi makes me think he prolly a real Nazi.

It is outrageously true he is a Nazi, to which he acknowledged with a nazi salute.
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.
"I don't live in the 1930s - 1940s Nazi Germany region, so I'm just a sparkling fascist"
He's had ample time to apologize, still hasn't.

Guys, he’s absolutely right, and absolutely worse - Nazis have ideals (however flawed and monstrous) and this POS has none.
He’s an opportunist psychopath with 0 qualms about throwing a Nazi salute if it gets him what he wants. He’s a Nazi sympathizing parasite who’ll fake anything for likes, and the only thing he deserves is to serve as a ridiculed, timeless reminder for future generations the dangers of mindless celebrity worship and billionaires.

I read the article, looking for Musk to explain more and all I got is that he can't be a Nazi because he has never personally killed anyone.
No, seriously, that's the clever defense of Mr. Geniusman.
I’ve not harmed anyone in my life, so it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi, because the issue with Nazis was not their mannerisms or their, you know, choice of dress, but the fact that they killed millions of people

Shouldn't have made that salute then, nor throw your support and your weird fans behind the AfD and Tommy Robinson.

I’m baffled he doesn’t understand that everyone thinks he’s a nazi. He’s saying and doing nazi shit all the time, when called out for it, he DOESN’T deny it, he says the others are stupid for saying he is. He doesn’t apologize or anything! He doubles down and claims it’s the “left”? If there’s a Tesla driver who deserves to be locked inside a burning car, it’s this POS.

It is outrageously accurate
What’s really outrageous is that he’s a free man, instead of rotting in some cell for the rest of his life like the Nazi sympathizing psychopath waste of oxygen he is.
It’s outrageous for him to claim it’s outrageous for us to properly identify him as Nazi, his being Nazi and all.
Well to help convince us you could denounce all Nazis and racial hatred, especially on your social platform.
We’re still waiting.

Sieg Heiling Space Karen Elon Musk, to be certain, is a Nazi.
It would appear her snowflake feelings are hurt, because we're holding her accountable for her Sieg Heil salutes.
But she brought that on to herself.
Typically it's this kind of thing where you may have to scrub the disingenuous surface of plausible deniability a little to reveal the rottenness underneath as the fascists try to hide, reorganize, strategize, obfuscate, manipulate, infiltrate and ultimately influence under the guise of some common issue they can blame on their targets, or a made-up issue they can redirect people's frustrations towards, before they amass enough resources to where they can really get to work.
But some of them get too eager and jump the gun. The fascist party of Sweden, the Sweden Democrats, has had multiple instances of overtly rightwing extremist, racist, fascist Nazi shit unearthed by media, at which point leadership has felt the need to boot those members for the sake of current Overton window optics.
Musk is definitely one of those kinds of Nazis, a stupid one. He just went out there and performed a Nazi salute on live international TV in 4K. He ostensibly reckons he's rich enough and the Overton window is pushed far enough to where he can get away with it.
But the number in your bank account is not the only number that can affect events. Power in numbers is what us in the 99% have, and should utilize. I love seeing the solidarity against Tesla resulting in notable hardships for the business. And if all else fails, Luigi only needs one well-timed shell to win.
We'll never rest again, until every Nazi dies.
If someone destroys your reputation with lies, that is character assassination.
If your reputation is destroyed by people stating facts, you're just getting your comeuppance.
