For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Elon Musk, the head of Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, said “it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi” in a clip from an interview with Fox News that was released Friday, slamming how he’s been covered by the media. He also said that if his detractors could “press a button” and kill him, they would, but he is “difficult to kill.”

At Trump’s post-inauguration rally, Musk gave a straight-arm salute that many, including his estranged daughter, interpreted to be a Sieg Heil. Since he bought Twitter, now social platform X, he has restored white supremacist accounts that were previously banned. In March, as he was carrying out widespread firings of federal workers, he shared a post from an X account that said that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Mao Zedong didn’t cause the deaths of millions of people. Instead, public workers did. After criticism, he removed the post.

Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Musk spoke virtually at a campaign event for a far-right German political party, Alternative für Deutschland. He said that Germans should not lose their culture to “multiculturalism.”

And for one of them he turned around and did it towards orangeboi.

But the vast majority of the media was like “huh what a weird gesture I wonder what it means” or “he’s ‘sending his heart out to his fans’” or other similar idiotic sanewashings

while doing that wierd bottom lip sucking thing.

In my life, I've had to give speeches in front of a crowd, but no matter how well the speech went, I never did a Nazi salute. I've seen many many more speeches, and again, even the ones that went very well didn't end with Nazi salutes.

Literally the only people who do Nazi salutes in public are Nazis and actors portraying Nazis. Hopefully, Musk will spend the rest of his life with this albatross around his neck. That he exposed himself as a Nazi.

Actions speaks louder than words, Elon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It is true that he shouts so loudly with his actions that it's hard to hear his lies. He's really bad at it... I guess he's not a very talented Nazi, but not for lack of trying.

Just a reminder that actual neonazis also interpreted it that way.

He's right. It's outrageous.

He's not a Nazi. He's a fucking Nazi.

You're still not getting with the program. He's a fucking neo-Nazi.

That's a side effect of ketamine abuse, then, is it?

And having your dick mangled by a botched enhancement surgery.

Is that true?

Who knows?

All we know is he has all his kids by IVF.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I thought he has all his kids by IVF because no woman would be able to stand his touch without her skin crawling off her body and fleeing in terror.

Two reasons can simultaneously exist

If it walks like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi, then it's a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

I'm not a Nazi!

this is a nazi

The only comfort I have these days is that I know that the highs these mf'ers håbe been on since January is going to come back to them tenfold when all is said and done. Felon Musk is the first casualty because he was the dumbest one with the biggest hubris. But the others, who are probably looking at him and snickering at his downfall, are going to feel it themselves. Tenfold.

I'm not a patient person, but I am looking forward to this fallout when the dust settles someday. All these cunts are in for one hell of a ride. I thank Felon for giving us an appetizer early for what is to come.

He didn't deny it!

Musk spoke virtually at a campaign event for a far-right German political party, Alternative für Deutschland. He said that Germans should not lose their culture to “multiculturalism.”

He made that speech in English, sounds like he's trying to erase German culture and language.
