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.

    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.

    No. Elon is evidently a Nazi as he constantly advocates for facism and sepecifically uses the symbols and language of the historocal German Nazis.

    I know. But he doesn't use the term as if it describes an actual thing. He uses it to insult people he doesn't like. He's more than happy to BE a Nazi, but not be CALLED a Nazi.
