This jerk off isn't even trying to hide it anymore

Musk is a bonafide nazi and has free run of the American government

"Tesla chief and presidential adviser Elon Musk shared a post Thursday that said public sector workers, not Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, murdered millions of people, marking the billionaire's latest Nazi-related post as he and his electric vehicle company face continued backlash and boycotts as critics say his embrace of right-wing politics is veering more extreme."

A nazi and an utter c*nt

"The world-leading unit helping to rescue Ukrainian children stolen by Russia has been axed amid Elon Musk's slashing of US government spending, The i Paper can reveal.

Thousands of children have been removed from Ukraine and taken to Russia during the conflict, in a campaign of "unlawful deportation".

The US government has been funding a specialist team based at Yale University, who have used open source technology to trace the lost children and help repatriate them.

But this team, which has already helped to locate hundreds of children, has now had its funding paused, amid tech tycoon Musk's chainsaw slashing of the federal budget via the so-called department of government efficiency (Doge)."

The post that he shared also mentioned Mao and Stalin, and it is factually correct - those murderous dictators didn't kill tens of millions of innocent people with their own hands. Millions of Russians, Chinese, and Germans willingly supported their policies and did the killing.

For good measure, the tweet should've included Putin.

Yeah, but it's villyfying public service workers and implying they're all somehow evil. It's the sort of classic meme-level argument that Musk revels in because it conveniently misses out context, complexity and nuance. It also slyly absolves the architects of those regimes of all blame

That said, it's fun watching him make Tesla even more toxic than it is already. Trump will have to hawk a few more on the White House lawn to try and repair the damage.

No, it doesn't. If Musk were an actual Nazi lover, it would be easy for him to say so - he owns the damn platform. It would be easy for him to go full Kanye and sell a swastika-adorned Tesla, but until he goes that far the whole Nazi thing continues to be nothing more than political mudslinging that waters down what actual Nazis were and did. (I'm looking at you, Putin.)

Yep and that nazi salute was just an awkward jerky hand wave...?

Bollocks

He won't just come out and admit it, because as well as being a disgusting creepy weirdo - he's a f**king coward too

Wake up mate ffs!

It's YOUR country that this pig is making look ridiculous and utterly shameful

If anyone waters down Nazis it's Musk, who can't seem to get through a week without tweeting about them (or mudslinging , for that matter, in fact he appears to have brought an entire social media platform just to sling mud).

And if anybody heard the interview he did with the German ADF (?) politician it's clear he has a woeful grasp of history and the Nazis.

Yep. The meme universe is awash with images and videos of public figures making the same "salute". A few minutes ago I raised my arm to the neighbor across the street and if I were famous it would've been blasted on TwitX as proof that I'm a Nazi. Until he accompanies it with a hearty "Heil Hitler!" I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and chalk up his Nazi-related posts as Asperger's-assisted reaction to the incessant use of "Hitler" and "Nazi" in today's political discourse. It's gotten so ridiculous that a murderous, genocide-bent dictator in Russia is "fighting Nazism" by killing, raping, and torturing the citizens of a nation that is governed by a Jew.

His rockets are the best, most-powerful ever built, and they have revolutionized the space biz. Later this evening, one will try to launch to the ISS and return astronauts who have been stranded for almost a year after their Boeing spacecraft - which was already billions of dollars over-budget and years behind schedule - was deemed too unsafe to return humans to Earth.

Amazing really the number of people who earn a lot of money and fail to pay their taxes and go bankrupt. I've been in massive debt at times (to me that is) but always PAYE.

It seems to stem from being mis-advised by previous tax advisors into putting money into some supposed tax-exempt scheme which has turned out not to be tax-exempt at all. It would of course be easier, and far less risky, just to pay the tax - and so benefit society as a whole - rather than pay vast sums of money to a third party to come up with ways not to pay the tax.

It doesn't really matter if we think it was a salute or just a wave. Elon Musk openly supports lots of far right pro-fascist groups anyway. We already know what he is.

It would seem Disney f**ked up making their woke version of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
There are no seven dwarfs, but there are seven mythical creatures, and Prince Florian doesn't get to snog Snow White because it's unwanted sexual attention.
The lead is coffee colored and openly hates Jews and Trump.

A line from the original: hair as black as ebony, lips as red as the rose, skin white as snow

Yes, it got slated so badly, Disney had to get it "quietly" premiered at some obscure event in Spain as nobody wanted to handle it.

They really have over-stepped the mark this time, and let's hope the damage to them is long and permanent as they have got FAR TOO big for their boots.

Walt's head probably has a big grin on its frozen dead face as Disney made more money than any other studio last year (and probably will again this year, even if Snow White tanks).

Personally I'd rather they made some fresh new stuff instead of constantly rehashing old movies. None of the live action remakes have been that great.

It has become a grubby money making machine and nowhere near the ethos of Walt Disney, who made happy films that could be enjoyed by all the family, and not have a political agenda shoved down people's throats - I hope they hit the skids

And let's face it, they couldn't find a much older film to rehash (with the emphasis on "hash") than one that's 88 years old. Even King Kong was only 72 years old when they re-made that.
