Summary
Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.
Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.
His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”
Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.
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.
Already bullshit.
And even that falls short on many deaths his chainsaw government cuts will result in.
Yep. Also, going by that measure, Hitler was a vegetarian and lover of animals who never personally killed anyone
Hitler was an infantryman in WW1, though he was a messenger his regiment saw heavy combat and he won 2 iron crosses. He almost certainly killed people.
Still apparently no recorded kills, even if it’s not something he would have had interest in hiding
Not to mention his specific interventions in designs that lead to various fatalities. (Why the cybertruck/wankpanzer is a complete death trap, despite being designed by some likely talented engineers.)
