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.

Don’t forget there’s also the ADL, who want to equate those opposed to genocide as “anti-Semitic” and defend Musk who has been openly fascist and platforming Nazis for ages.

“Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Gőring your enemies! His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler! Bet you did nazi that coming,” Musk posted Thursday, adding laughing-face emojis.

Being a dipshit Edge Lord all the time must be exhausting. Remember "Poochie" from "The Simpsons?" Yeah, that's Elon. To the X-treme.

Why do the tankies love these people so much?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Because "America bad" and folks like Musk are harming America's reputation.

It's extremely disheartening that people such as this are even given the time of day in the first place. It's even more disheartening when people are getting fired for pointing out the obvious. I couldn't be more glad to have deleted my Twitter.

I think the best thing to do is just completely ignore everything the guy says. Don't feed the trolls.

And the stun lock continues. Kind of admirable

This is in no way a defense of Elon. He is a horrible Nazi and he hates Jews and I'm a Jew.

That said, I'm not seeing where he brought up the Holocaust. He made a bunch of very offensive puns regarding Nazi leadership, but unless I missed it, nothing about the Holocaust. All the critical responses seem to mention it so maybe I'm missing it?

I guess I feel like "makes Holocaust jokes" is just unnecessary hyperbole when what he said was awful enough.

Himmler was a German Nazi leader and the chief architect of the Holocaust

-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler

His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

-- Elmu

I think it's probably fair to call punning on the name "Himmler" to be a "Holocaust joke", but I can also understand if someone doesn't think it is.

I guess. It feels like a bit of a stretch to me. If they said "Nazi Jokes" instead of "Holocaust Jokes," it's not like that's still not terrible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

You can't really separate the Holocaust from the Nazis.

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.

That ship has sailed.

So, next time Leon Hitler visits Israel, he can walk around giving the Nazi salute to the fascist Ben and the Likud Party?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
