Wow. He’s really leaning into this crap full force, publicly. He’s giving a full demonstration of just how untouchable he feels.
Worse, he has that little boy with him all the time now, watching him do these things.
He’s giving a full demonstration of just how untouchable he feels.
This is such a huge part of the psychology behind authoritarianism. It's about harsh rules and repression, and the perverse enjoyment of the privileged few, that can be above the rules. It's like a schoolyard bully, really, beating you up but also snitching on you to the teachers, and then enjoying the teachers not believing you. The hypocrisy is not a fault within authoritarianism, it's an essential component, of how it functions ideologically.
Taking away their feeling of being untouchable, is a massive part of how to combat it. That requires, at this point, revolutionary change, because damn, the foundations of property are all in their favour.
What little boy? You aren't referring to that ambulatory kevlar vest with the overactive nasal mine, are you?
There's this UA drone video of a FPV drone swooping in to hit a squad of Russian soldiers hiking a treeline, and at the very last second you can suddenly see a puppy running between their feet.
Every time I see that child, I think of that clip of the puppy :(
I’m not even going to try to figure out the name of any of Elon’s children. The man should not be allowed to name anything.
If you read his Xmas card out loud, you summon Cthulhu.
A month max, and conservatives will claim Adolf Hitler as a "conservative patriot who wanted to restore Germany's place in the world".
Here in Germany the far right is painting him as a commie :)
And then will rehabilitate him the moment, they get to repeal the laws that "keep the nation in constant shame".
“Hitler was merely the German Pinochet, saving his country from socialism”
He just wanted national socialism guyz!
Woah
Just like… woah. This is fucking wild to live through :(
Yeah. “It wasn’t a Nazi salute, but if it was then Hitler wasn’t that bad.”
I want them off this planet, though I’d also settle for them being deep inside it.
Want C.H.U.D.s in reality and not just as a name to call dumbasses? Cos that's how you get C.H.U.D.s.
after coming under fire for a gesture he made at a Trump inaugural event that was likened to a Nazi salute by foreign leaders and Democrats.
Oh get the fuck out of here forbes, you're part of the fucking problem. That was a full on sieg heil, and the piece of shit did it twice. It was not a likeness to it, the oligarch fuckwit was unequivocally heiling.
the billionaire has denied he made a Nazi salute and played off backlash with Nazi puns
Another claim that he actually denied doing it. Can anyone point to the quote of his denying it was a Nazi salute? Lots of publications speaking for him.
I don't recall him saying "it wasn't a nazi salute, I apologize for the confusion, my absolute bad, naziism is wrong and abhorrent" anything short of that isn't denying it
I keep seeing the claim that he has refuted it without evidence of such. Trying to rewrite history.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Feels appropriate here
He was only giving the orders?
let's hope "I was only retweeting" becomes the next Nuremberg defense
No, he murdered tens of millions. 21m is more precise.
We need to deal with these traitors-in-power soon.
Really cementing his place as a skidmark on the pages of history.
Context: He retweeted an image saying "Hitler, Mao and Stalin did not murder millions. Their Public Service Agents did."
Can someone just off him already?
There is a valid argument to be made along these lines, but it leads to the conclusion that public sector workers should ignore doge if they want to do things that would cause harm. Like deleting the CDC website or leaving their jobs as air traffic controllers. Somehow I don’t think that’s how musk sees it.
So says left wing rag.....checks notes Forbes.com!
Inb4 musk accuses Forbes of being radical left Marxists
Hitler was unquestionably bad. There’s no nuance about it. Stop pretending there’s nuance.
When /r/technicallythetruth tries to do a Nazi salute...
According to Musk's logic, Manson should be set free because he didn't actually participate in the slaughter of innocents in an insane attempt to start a race war. He just told his followers to do it.
Is there a link to the twit? Not that I doubt the message, but that article had no image or link to it even. Unless the basic uBlock from Firefox mobile blocked it of course.
Oh now he’s gonna get it.
Get what?
Deez Nuts?
Bofa?
Yeah totally! … what?
Bofa deez nuts!
X is coming with it. Won’t be long now.
In other news, it's guns that kill people.
Dude can't really hold himself.
Good.
The blame is equal and several imo. There can be no outs for that sorta atrocity.
What I see every waking day?
Musk, Trump said Truth is truthn't.
