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
I was like… maybe it is out of context but then I watched the video and was like… oh.
I mean I am absolutely on the “Elon Musk an absolutely irredeemable bastard and a severe danger to the country” train but I wouldn’t peg him as a literal Nazi. If I had to guess, especially considering the faces he was making, it’s more of a ketamine fueled physical brainfart. Actually coming out as a Nazi, I don’t see what’s in it for him. I know the Trump camp has it’s unapologetic Nazis but I don’t see them as a particularly large faction. I could be wrong.
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”
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.
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.
Heil idiots!
