“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.

Non-German, in attempt to change Germany, warns Germans of non-Germans changing Germany

Isn’t this the same guy that whined about Brits getting involved in USA politics?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

What about Africans getting involved in US politics?

So we just gonna let this dude's Neo Nazi World Tour go off?

[-] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 125 points 4 days ago

If you're rich you can do whatever you want, apparently.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 100 points 4 days ago

Luigi wouldn't stand for it. We need more Luigi's.

[-] hexdream@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi'd is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.

And as my good pal Ira said, Luigi only needs to be lucky once.

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

No we really don't. Luigi was an idiot. He shot a subsidiary CEO worth some $40 million - Brian Thompson was closer to working class wealth than to Elon's wealth. Did nothing to fight the real enemy, who have quite simply continued unabated and even accelerated their efforts to control everything since.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

We need a Luigi leaderboard based on net worth.

[-] Akuji@leminal.space 35 points 4 days ago

Come on, stop with that. It's not because he's made an """"odd gesture"""", repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he's a nazi.
You have no proof of that.

Does my impersonation of a muskolini apologist sound ~~brain dead~~ genuine enough?

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

You forgot to mention that "he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong because he's autistic", but otherwise, yes.

[...] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute [...]

Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn't just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 40 points 4 days ago

And on a story about him literally supporting the racist nationalist Nazi-successor party in Germany. It's not even like they need to remember some external context to clear up their cowardly confusion.

[-] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the "future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]" and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn't calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.

[-] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 days ago

CBS has litterally fired someone for "personal reasons" after she criticized Musk's Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's not 100% verifiable and nobody wants to get a defemation lawsuit. (And perhaps they don't want to piss of a guy that's "friends" with the president)

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

This is what they always do. They're powerless in the face of the actual problem -- the richest fucker on Earth being a straight up Nazi -- so instead they try to invent another set of circumstances that make the threat seemingly less threatening.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 147 points 4 days ago

Their parents sin was not being harsh enough on a fresh crop of Nazis, so yes let's go beyond and finish the job

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 60 points 4 days ago

To be fair, most of Germany's current crop of Nazis are more like the grandchildren or great grandchildren of the original Nazis. The AfD isn't actually that popular with the older generations. They've got the strongest support from Gen X. Grannys against the Right (Omas gegen Rechts) is probably the largest antifascist movement currently active in Germany.

Why is Elon even regularly talking in Germany? I don’t understand. Is this the most efficient use of his time now that his time is funded by our tax payer dollars(arguably he was before too but beside the point)? Doesn’t seem very efficient Elon. I don’t remember you asking the people if you should be doing that.

Fuck I hate reality.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 36 points 3 days ago

He's upset that his German factory has to follow laws.

[-] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ah, well, time to buy another politician. (Edit: /s for clarity)

Whatever the Germans are doing, I hope they double down.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 days ago

Unions. That's all it takes, that's all it ever took.

Also, not making solidarity illegal.

[-] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Tesla giga factory in Germany. Probably other investments who knows. He's following the money just like all the rest of the shitheads like him

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 26 points 3 days ago

“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.

They want Germany out of EU to fracture the block. Then, when Europe is fragmented and weak they can provide ( sell )"the solution" again.

[-] prole 105 points 4 days ago

How long until Germany issues an arrest warrant?

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 96 points 4 days ago

That's probably why, the richest man in the world who could easily hop on a private jet to Germany as easy as it is for me or you to walk down the street, only did a "video appearance"

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 36 points 4 days ago

I'm really surprised they haven't shot down any Starlink satellites in their airspace. Unidentified or not, Nazi flying objects are illegal in Germany.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 15 points 4 days ago

Satellites are above individual countries' airspace, and not many countries have the capability to destroy satellites. Not to mention, Ukraine is relying on starlink for their defence.

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago

Also, destroying a satellite can deal a ton of collateral damage. Starlink isn’t high enough to create a true Kessler Syndrome, but it could still cause big problems.

They can do it right now. Enforcement would be a problem in the US but at least he wouldn't be able to fly to the EU. I think the gigafactory is what's stopping it from going through.

They already have fucktard. You're trying to drag em back in

Leon Hitler can go straight to hell. The photos from 1945 Germany are enough to tell me my German forefathers fucked it all up.

Be proud and stop keep dwelling on past sins, you know the sins I am talking about right?

[-] Menjoo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?! The billionaires are really going mask off since Mangolini’s inauguration.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Why don't like 7 of us just pool ours hundreds of dollars and kill it already. It's like a bad flu, you kill it with cheap drugs and strong bodies
