View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture

View parent comment

Why would he?  It would be a complete waste of time and grant legitimacy to utterly absurd accusations.  The best thing he can do is what he is presently doing, respond to it with memes and jokes.

There’s lots of right wing, whites supremacy, neo Nazi stuff on Twitter. Some of it Elon has amplified himself. The white supremacists on Twitter believe he gave a Nazi salute, and they’ve thanked him for it. They claim him as one of their own. So at the very least, I would refute accusations of Nazi sympathy to prevent actual Nazis from thinking I’m a Nazi. But there’s lots of those type of people on Twitter and in MAGA, so he has obviously decided that losing their support isn’t worth it. Maybe he doesn’t care if liberals think he’s a Nazi. That’s fine. I just don’t understand why he’s cool with Nazis thinking he’s a Nazi.
