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”
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.
