I guess I'm just out of the loop. The most I know about musk is his ridiculous Twitter changes, naming his child aex12 or some crap like that, and shady EV range stuff. Can definitely see why people are saying he's scum, but why is he being called a Nazi?

His indifference to the apartheid ontop of bragging about the family's emerald mine (which hints at his emotional detachment from issues like genocide), reopening a Tesla factory in violation of health orders directly attributed to 450 covid cases, and his penchant for terminating people over opinions. Between the way he almost advocates for business priorities over basic human rights and his blatant fascism, some of his behaviors align with the hubris and fanaticism the Nazi party was known for. Cracking down on dissent, attempting to direct the flow of information, it's almost as if we see how a modern Joseph Goebbels acts if he inherited the wealth of an apartheid emerald mine and pushed his own radical agendas with no regard for human life.

While Elon may not be as extreme as some of the worst people of the Nazi party, as in he didn't throw millions of people in gas chambers, he seems to behave in a way that indicates he would do so without flinching or questioning it, if it continued to make a shit ton of money.
