He looks like a Nazi
Talks like a Nazi
Acts like a Nazi
What would convince you?
That he did something that's actually bad.
Like killing people.
But just reaching his hands in the air once that might be related Nazism, didn't make him "definitely a nazi"
Surely we can find hints that somebody is a Nazi before we find out that they've killed people.
But jumping to conclusions is bad right?
There's definitely interpretation to this gesture he did. This doesn't make him a nazi. The people aggressively trying to push the users that he's a nazi are acting more like Nazis than him.
This could be a mistake or a silly blunder or even just him trying to throw his affection out. But people shouting and screaming, calling people names and being derogatory is disturbing
giggling at this 😂😂 ur so silly
Famously exclusionist, the National Socialists gained popularity for their (checks notes...) inclusionary stance on who could be a nazi.
Sounds wrong to me, but I'm not a Histrionics professor, so I could be wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyPSKLy5E4&t=706s He sure doesnt smell like a heckin nazi. Im sure he has apologized and interperted the gesture.
Maybe people are calling names because you are staring at a duck and saying it is in fact a camel. Oh wow would you look at that, literal nazi communities love the shit out of musk for doing the nazi salute.
Elon, is this you?
He's posted in support of far-right extremists in Germany and the UK multiple times, he's 'liked' antisemitic posts on his shitshow of a site, he's used avatars that are used by the alt and far right. And now he's done this. A nazi salute. He's a nazi. Nobody needs to 'go out of their way' to call him a nazi when everything he says and does shouts the fact from the fucking rooftops.
He's not a nazi. You think he's a member of the nazi party? Show me these terrible tweets your talking about
Are you genuinely suggesting you have to be a member of a club to be a nazi?
BBC "new profile image which depicts the character Pepe the Frog - a meme that has been used by far-right groups."
You can't take this seriously.
So he had a picture of Pepe that makes him a nazi?
Mind blown
Well done. You managed to fixate on one and only one thing and somehow find that that totally exonerates Musk from being a nazi despite everything else. That's quite a feat of cognitive dissonance.
Tommy Robson, calling for investigation of r.ape gangs not that bad of an idea.
Adf gay female leader, doesn't sound that nazish
Ah, got it - you're trolling. Well done, you got me.
👀
Fuckin yikes
It's not anyone else's responsibility to pry your eyes open so you can move the goalposts. Don't think he's a Nazi because he's not a party member? That's fine, but he's throwing Nazi salutes and talking about how the AfD can save Germany so a lot of us are going to call him a Nazi because he seems to want to be a Nazi, or even enjoys being called a Nazi.
The leader of the AfD is a gay female. Doesn't sound very nazish to me
You don't think gay people can be right wing nationalists or something?
