Of course he did. Elon is now a signed-up, card-carrying Nazi.
If you can't read a Nazi salute, you're living in La La land. Elon did it, and he meant it.
Pick a side, Meister. You're either with them or against them.
Signed-up, card-carrying, eh!
Do you even know what Nazism is?
Is he obsessed with racial purity? Does he advocate for the extermination of the weak? Condemn entire ethnicities and cultures as plagues on a superior people? Advocate for total wars of annihilation as a means to extend the realm?What you should all be focussing on is what his speech meant in terms of his accumulation of (unelected) power and influence.
Forget Nazi, Musk is speaking as an oligarch.
That Trump would have allowed him to make a triumphal speech, even elevating himself over the president, speaks to the kind of deal he has with Trump... It must be a doozy.
Couldn't see FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson or Nixon allowing that... although, maybe under the corrupt Harding.
Musk may have pledged his entire fortune to Trump's cause in exchange for power, influence and (very wide) latitude under Trump's administration.
Have you read any of his tweets and retweets?
This is the very essence of his message. While DL's totally clueless, trolling with lines like poisoning the blood of America, Elon's the ideological side of the cult.
Dark MAGA, as he puts it. His entire speil is the corporate domination of the weak. He wants to back an elite tribe of humans to colonize Mars. He plans to leave the Jigaboos and delta suckholes on planet Earth to kill each other off.
Elon's quite happy to abandon the species to war and global warming. He's got a spot in the spaceship for himself, Zuckerberg, Tim Scott and Sundar Pichai. Sure, he'll save a seat for a Jew and a Curry if they can afford it, but I wouldn't hold him to a specific racialist ideology. Like many of the drones here, he chops and changes on that.
That doesn't make Elon any less a Nazi. His salute alone was a testimony - a deliberate brand identification with Nazism. Naughty, tongue in cheek, a bit of a troll, sure. But make no mistake that Elon's setting himself up as the mad scientist, MAGA's ideological engineer.
Nazism is the closest social-political model to the movement, and he'll go with it if he has to. He didn't carry that sink into Twitter headquarters for no reason. He did it to show he's the man and will stop at nothing to have his will carried out.
DL's the populist, know-nothing chump, Elon sees himself as the Machiavellian Alpha. How long do you think this relationship can hold?
Long enough if he can make Nazism acceptable again, I'd say. If you think Elon has any other agenda for X, you need your head read.
Trump was raised to be a Nazi, Elon an Afrikaan elite. While they might have baulked at their families' values from time to time, unbridled wealth has clinched the deal. None of them have left their homes without bodyguards in years. If they didn't start out as Nazis, they sure are now.
This is bleedingly obvious to all. The question America now faces is not whether Elon seig heiled the base at a US presidential inauguration, it's whether Americans are willing to go with that.
You?
