View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture
Since you cant treat someone from the other side of the aisle who is actively listening to your opinion with the slightest bit of respect by not insulting them with name calling. This will be my last interaction with you.
“This idea that people parroting aspects of nazi ideology not being nazis if they don’t explicitly proclaim themselves nazis is fucking tired pal.”
No, i don’t think its tired. Having different beliefs than nazis is exactly what makes you not a nazi. Take Bernie Sanders for example, his socialist ideas align with hitlers. Do his overlapping ideas make him a nazi? No.
“Can I ask dp you think it’s possible that nazis still exist in spirit but are smart enough to know it’s frowned upon so they “hide their power level” in public?”
Yes, I do think it’s possible. Generally I think they claim it. I’ve seen the pictures of the flags and swastika tattoos.
In closing, the ideas that Musk stands for, being freedom of speech, saving the world from climate change, space exploration, and only 2 genders do not align with nazism. No matter how close his crowd waved looked to people who want to hate him.

Uh the only w genders thing does align with nazism lol. Also if you think Musk is in favor of "free speech" it's jo wonder you think he wasn't signaling to the hard right base after the Hb1 visa thing.
Also the nazis were in no way socialist and only appealed to such rhetoric to win over working class, it's like saying that because the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a Democratic Republic because it's in the name.
To be clear I don't think Musk is a Nazi, but I think he is intentionally signaling nazis.
