Genuinely fuck Musk. Cries he’s being called a Nazi while doing everything in his power to act like one.
Nobody does a Nazi salute by accident Elon… And especially not with a face looking like he just bust a nut while doing it.
You’re not wrong, but this article is more about Netanyahu’s flexibility around ‘antisemitism.’
You know, how it’s now considered antisemitic to criticize Israel’s war crimes, but it’s totally not antisemitic to do a Nazi salute and joke about the holocaust as long as you support Israel’s war crimes?
Yeah, there is a pretty big difference between “they think we shouldn’t defend ourselves” and “they think we shouldn’t commit war crimes and genocide while defending ourselves”. They initially had a ton of support for defending themselves after october 7th… but they turned the tides against themselves by almost immediately going way too far. It has absolutely nothing to do with who either side is ethnically or religiously or whatever, it is entirely the war crimes and genocide we want to stop.
They’re not even defending themselves. They’re killing women, children and old people. They’re destroying water purification plants and hospitals. Genocide is not an act of self-defence, it’s a crime against humanity.
Netanyahu is a bloodthirsty ultra-nationalist, but his even deeper self is just another shitty corrupt narcissist like Trump. He thinks he’s got everyone conned, and he’s grabbing everything he can while using the war as his claim to power. As soon as the crisis stops, people will start looking at how much he’s on the take again. So he’s always got to stir the shit and keep the populace in a state of panic.
I think they think “Nazi” or “anti-semite” is just like “bitch”; it’s an insult largely divorced from its linguistic origins. So a person is a Nazi if you don’t like what they’re doing, and the word means nothing more.
Edit: I think people misunderstood and thought I said these guys aren’t Naizs. They are. They just don’t like when people call them that because they don’t know how words work.
he wants to act like a Nazi, spread Nazi ideas, help implement Nazi policies, and have Nazi friends, but not being called a Nazi
a face looking like he just bust a nut
He was making the Mussolini face.
Nazis siding with Israel against Jews is no great surprise at this point.
Authoritarian regimes stick together…at first.
He’s pretty clearly intentionally taunting everyone who opposes him, just demonstrating what he can get away with. That’s what all of this has been about. He might not be anti-Semitic (please don’t at me – he likely is – I said might) and rather is just a pure troll dickhead.
Tbh, he’s a massive douchebag on a power trip. It wouldn’t shock me at all if he wasn’t anti-Semitic and is just trying to push people’s buttons. At the same time, if this is true, he’s also shifting the Overton window and showing what true Nazis can safely get away with in the public eye.
That said, there’s a good chance he’s also just an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi piece of shit…and still doing the latter part of that.
Regardless, he’s a fascist either way, so fuck him.
he’s also shifting the Overton window and showing what true Nazis can safely get away with in the public eye.
This is the major fucking problem. The fat orange diaper sponge already fucked up the “what’s acceptable in public” perception 8 years ago - and now we have the Apartheid-dipshit one-upping his rimjob buddy.
Just like with some of the 4chan idiots though, there is little functional difference between being a true believer nazi and merely pretending to be one.
Exactly.
“Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.” - Jason Garrett-Glaser
And personally, I believe that any community that pretends to be idiots, are.
You may be right, there. I do tend to excuse comedians, like Monty Python and their ilk, though. I guess it’s always contextual.
Yeah, also satire. Look at Colbert’s schtick, that entire thing was pretending to be dumb, but it was peak satire.
It’s tough. Colbert is actually a great example in this case, because, while I also loved his schtick, a lot of conservatives didn’t realize it was satire. There was actually a study done about it, in fact!
Yeah I’m not saying it would make him better. Only saying his main intent seems to be to rile people up.
Translating a comment by a Norwegian author:
as someone who once put in a lot of effort to excuse the far right etc when they maybe cross the line a little bit but probably don’t really mean it so let’s all calm down a bit, I’ve learned one thing:
the only reward you get for doing this is that they the next day bombastically step over that same line to show that they don’t feel bound by your wimpy sense of decency
because the fight is against what they perceive as a wimpy, castrated centrist decency is one of the central driving forces in such groups
More people who have tried to explain away the nazi salute could probably stand to learn the same lesson ASAP. The only thing they’re really communicating is that the rich & powerful can do what they want and the excusers will stay their loyal lapdogs.
His apologies mean nothing, this is literally all his fault. Entirely, 200%. No one else, not even the real Nazis!
These headlines are getting way out of hand.
If this goes on the ADL will be denying the holocaust be the end of the week.
Being a great friend of netanyahu is yet more evidence that you are a fascist
I saw someone on Lemmy post that exact comment yesterday. Either the lemming copied it from elsewhere, or musk is in the building.
Elon if you see this: you are a bad person and a bad father.
Elon, if you see this, you’re the poster child for why abortion should be protected.
Abortion isn’t a “solution” to shit people. Also, the statement just supports the anti-choice claim of “murdering” babies.
Basically Homelander-Syndrome?
Who could simp such retard?
retrader simps
Fuck Netanyahu and Musk.
Also, fascists like Bibi speak on behalf of the whole country.
I think the best thing to do is just completely ignore everything the guy says. Don’t feed the trolls.
I’ll ignore him once he’s no long relevant in the public space. Musk isn’t something like the Kardashians. Politicans and CEOs are listening to him.
hey, I need my daily dose of nonsense to survive
Can we please stop paying attention to this jerk?
I know reposting his Tweets makes news sites money, and gets upvotes, and whatever, but for heavens sake, don’t feed the trolls.
Musk is what over feeding a troll ultimately looks like.
He has the president’s ear and is already contributing to wrecking the country with fascist tactics while being open about being a nazi.
We can’t just ignore him anymore.
Not to mention that he has enough purchasing power and assets to destroy entire countries without getting involved in politics
We haven’t been ignoring him, obsessively covering his antics is exactly what elevated him and Trump to power, and its not going to fix anything anymore.
We are preaching to the choir when we complain about it here, and absolutely no one who needs to know is is going to see it because they’re in their own little filter bubble. But it is validating X as a public platform.
We have to deplatform these people and reach out to insulated bubbles.
Now is not the time to bury your head in the sand
If reporting critically on what the government and its members are up to is now “feeding the trolls”, then the phrase has lost all meaning.
It’s one thing to not engage with online bullies and leave them bored. It’s another thing entirely to start anew with first they came for the illegal immigrants, and I didn’t say anything, for I wasn’t an illegal immigrant.
Learn the lesson of history: this time around, first come for the Nazis.
Can we please stop paying attention to this jerk?
No. This nazi needs to be publicly scrutinized now, more than ever.
Absolutely not. If you think he’s evil now, just wait until we stop paying attention to what he’s doing.
That ship has sailed.

Wild how the only people defending Musk making a Hitler salute are a war criminal who is committing genocide and his father, who impregnated his step daughter twice.
