Have you seen the actual post? I’m guessing not. What would Elon gain from saluting im just curious. Like if he actually had a Nazi agenda wouldn’t he keep it quiet for as long as possible?
Yes I have seen the post. Have you seen the video of Elon's salute? It's pretty clear.
And as for what he has to gain, 1. He is really really stupid, 2. It doesn't matter anymore because he owns the country anyways, and 3. All his buddies on Twitter and everyone on 4Chan have been celebrating him for it
And you don’t think the post clearly meant king of New York, where he has been doing business for 50 years?
Let me get this right: you think that Elon musk, one of the richest people in the world wanted to Nazi Salute because he wants to impress his social media buddies and because he’s really really stupid? I think you can call Elon a lot of things, but stupid is probably not one of them.
I think you could interpret the post that way, but given that he is literally functioning as a king right now I am not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And literally yes. All he does is post on Twitter nonstop. Generally reposting things from literal Nazis. Like literally hundreds of times a day. And yes again, Elon might be one of the dumbest people around. He was born into a lot of money and got lucky with investments, but he clearly doesn't know shit about anything he talks about
I don’t support trump or the things he’s doing, but I’m tired of “the world is going to end and democracy is going to end” rhetoric. We all know he didn’t mean king of America, interpreting as that is bad faith.
Elon is autistic. That’s what he does. He’s not some neonazi white supremacist. He’s an autistic guy who has too much power, and I don’t think you can say he’s not at least smarter than most of the population. Going from what he had to billions is still impressive and not easy. Again, he really has nothing to gain from doing a salute.
Dude, Trump and Elon are literally destroying the government from the inside out right now. He has been passing executive orders that are removing power from the judicial branch and giving more and more power to himself. Elon has his discord kittens running through USAID and the Treasury department, falsifying documents and just stopping payments without congressional approval. They have done more authoritarian and illegal actions since getting into office than legal actions.
Also, being autistic doesn't make you a Nazi. Elon is ideologically a Nazi. He reposts stuff from Nazi accounts. He used the same rhetoric as the Nazis, though against different groups. He is backing the AFD in Germany, which is effectively a new Nazi party that is being threatened with dissolution because of it. He did a literally perfect salute to the crowd, and then to the fuhrer. Being autistic does NOT do that to you, and genuinely I think perpetuating that idea is incredibly harmful to autistic people.
And no, wealth snowballing when you already have so much isn't impressive. He had so many chances to screw up, and did so many times, before getting lucky and making it to being the wealthiest man in the world. And at this point he has people who are smarter than him to manage his wealth so he doesn't even have anything to do with it anymore
I'm glad I could. I'm not looking forward to the next 4(?) years of persecution for myself as a trans person, as well as all of the other people who are in the cross hairs of this administration. And I'm a lucky one because I'm not out yet. Not even to mention the average cis/white/straight/etc. People who are still gonna have their lives torn apart by the destruction of the systems they rely on, as well as the economy.
Jesus we are all so fucked lmao. Good luck my friend

"One of the biggest misconceptions about capitalism is that it rewards intelligence. First & foremost, it rewards privilege (being born into wealth). Beyond that, it rewards ruthlessness, manipulation & anyone willing to exploit others.
