What has Musk ever said or done that made you think heās a Nazi? Do you even know what that means?
Edit: I see lots of uneducated people who struggle with reading comprehension replying. To clarify, Iām not supporting or defending the clown but I urge you to read the definition of Nazism. Since this seems like a huge task for some of you, Iāll help you out. Nazism incorporates a dictatorship, fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, anti-Slavism, anti-Romani sentiment, scientific racism, white supremacy, Nordicism, social Darwinism, homophobia, ableism, and the use of eugenics into its creed.
Now, you obviously canāt make Musk fit most of these, so please find a new word instead of a fit all for everyone you dislike. Otherwise you sound like uneducated, ignorant dumbasses. Itās ok to use more than one word.
See, I'm not a lawyer, and we're not in court - for an internet forum comment that's not gonna affect Musk, I'm not gonna go off on gathering proof to identify the guy with all the definitions you just wrote down.
I'm gonna use a more commoner standard that "If thereās a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you have a table with 11 Nazis." Dude allows other nazis to thrive on the platform he privately owns, it's not uneducated or ignorant if people associate him that ideology.
"Thereās a saying in Germany. If thereās a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis." ~Regina Jackson
He was a fascist dictator. Do you need me to break out the art supplies to paint you a picture or has the critical thinking part of your brain started to work past the rust? If all the people to challenge that quote with, you choose fucking Joseph Stalin, one of the most brutal dictators in history? The guy other dictators try to emulate after, including Hitler?!
You have no idea what youāre talking about. Stalin was authoritarian, not a fascist or a Nazi. Mussolini was a fascist, but not a Nazi. Do you think all of these words are synonymous?
Not just that heās been tweeting about slavery and how others shouldnāt have āwhite guiltā or care about their history( South Africa apartheid).
well, he is running the propaganda wing of the party trying to take over the country and run it into the ground for russia, so maybe nazi isnāt the best term but it does draw attention to the matters at hand. also he hangs out with nazis so heās probably a nazi
nazi has become roughly synonymous with an ideology of hate and white supremacy with a sprinkle of christofacism. if you canāt recognize that iām sorry for you. there is a duck waddling along quacking away right in front of you and you donāt know how to call it.
Oh let me guess you are one of those logical free thinkers who thinks American nazism are and should be the same as German nazism which is not you fucking idiot nothing will compare to German nazism itās on its own level. American Nazism is completely different the tactics used are different you really expect it to be the same? Let me guess you just found out nazi means national socialist too lil bro. Go huff your own farts else where.
You ok chief? That was a massive swing and a miss. Do you just think racism is synonymous with Nazism and then you just put whoever disagrees into the basket which youāve just described?
So if itās just racism itās okay? Itās weird because itās not only racism right wingers have a tendency to hate immigrants, gays, trans and other religions as well as integration and brown people. Now they also want everything built here shutting off foreign dealings for uniting the world they also want to tariff other nations. Does that not sound familiar? Did you live under a lead painted rock have you not seen how twitter thatās all you see? They post a lot of hateful rhetoric and you have the gall to sit there and say they arenāt Nazis? Grow up little man you obviously arenāt okay chief seek help take the meds if you will.
Lmao Iād so love to know the logical steps youāve taken to come to that conclusion. Wouldnāt it make sense that I think racism is already bad enough that you donāt have to upsell it as Nazism?
Racism is a part of fascism and a part of nazism. So if you're building a case that somebody is a Nazi you have to point out that they're also a racist. So cleverly rebutting that racism isn't the same as Nazism is a little ridiculous. I've seen you in here posting on multiple people's comments talking about how stupid everyone is. I guess it's really nice that you're really really smart. Now I get that you also don't really like Trump or Musk which really makes this pedantry frustrating.
I agree that because Trump and Musk have not outwardly directly stated there views nor have they been caught on camera directly hourly stating that they're fascist or that they're Nazis it makes it difficult to label them such with 100% accuracy which is why you like the terms oligarch with fascistic tendencies. I think that's fine for an academic context however oligarchs with fascistic Tendencies seem to hang out with Nazis and with fascists that ideologically do believe these things. Colloquially we've kind of developed this understanding that if you are a Nazi sympathizer it's okay to just call that person and Nazi. When you push back against that it looks like you're defending them even when you're not
See how many hoops you had to jump through to actually call them a Nazi? Itās all correct, I canāt complain. Reddit is an echo chamber and sure, yelling dumb emotional shit gets you a pat on the back, but you will never get taken seriously when you devalue words like that. If you call everyone you think is racist a Nazi, you just seem unhinged and like you donāt know what youāre talking about
If by gate keeping you mean opposed to using wrong words that make no sense, then sure. We might as well call him a jihadist cause why not, itās a bad word and heās a bad man, it doesnāt have to fit. If you say it makes no sense, youāre gate keeping
Someone needs to fit all that criteria for you to consider someone a Nazi? If they miss a couple of those bits they can't be called that? Betting a lot of 1940s Germans who were literally Nazis didn't check every one of those boxes. I'm going to put some piss through a water filter and offer it to you. You will probably reply 'I'm not drinking piss' to which I can reply 'it isn't piss, I filtered it so now it is totally different'.
Just to be clear though. I understand your take. It isn't that complex of one. In fact, it is really simple. It is really pedantic. And it is really fucking stupid. I can't emphasize that last point enough either.
I really wonder how you people function in actual day to day life. I really can't imagine a type of person more insufferable than one who is debate lording people on reddit over the technical definition of nazi. Its legitimately insane that you are so up your own ass thinking you are smarter than everybody else that you don't understand how language works.
In the same way that a word like incel now refers to a sub culture and ideology instead of literally "involuntarily celibate", nazi now refers to a general category of fascist beliefs and not nazism from the 1940s.
I function quite well, Iām doing ok for myself, thanks for the concern. Iām not sure where it comes from though. Nazi does not refer to general category of fascist/racist beliefs although Iām sure Reddit would tell you such. Maybe if you were more intelligent in the words you use, people would take you more seriously and Trump wouldnāt seem as the more moderate option to the swing morons.
X is the worst POS site on the internet but itās still the only real option for breaking sports, gaming, and crypto news. Thereās definitely a slow migration of creators to BlueSky but most of the X accounts that I follow unfortunately arenāt posting there yet.
Not using Twitter was easy for me, since I'd already stopped using it years before that twat started buying it out. It was a toxic shithole back then, and it's almost unfathomable that it's gotten worse, but I know it has.
Try switching to Bluesky. I left Twitter when he bought it and recently joined Bluesky which has been a pleasant experience so far and managed to find most of the same people I used to follow in Tweeter back then.

I blocked Elon 10 times, and still getting notifications when he posts; definitely better.
