I'm out of the loop and also not American. Can somebody elaborate please?
Elon Musk is the resident Nazi at the heart of the US government and is widely believed to have bought his influence with Trump. Oh and also Trump is President again after being a convicted criminal. No this isn't a joke.
What makes Elon a Nazi? Does he promote genocide or racism? I've only seen one picture of him doing the pose but have no context. Also lol on Trump. I would've assumed people with such a track record wouldn't even qualify to work as teachers or any other job, let alone run and get elected as president lmao.
Elon Musk has a well documented track record of supporting far right causes that mirror Nazi ideology. At the Inauguration he performed two Nazi salutes (one to the crowd and one to the flag). He routinely promotes the methods of genocides of trans people and Palistinians through both verbal parlance and through direct funding and uses well known euphemisms in support of white supremacy causes. He has authoritarian leanings tasked with removing from government service entire administrative arms that previously were not electable or apointable positions (because they were staffed with experts whose task is to stick to their guns of scientific or proven best practice and not simply be yes men telling the administration what they want to hear).
He also has never denied making a Nazi salute in the days since it's happened instead deciding to make Holocaust and Nazi featured jokes.
At this point what evidence can be put forward that he is not a Nazi?
