I need somewhere where I can post this, I can’t take the insanity anymore

“But many other public officials including Kamala, Obama, and Hillary have done the same gesture in a single frame picture.”

Good point, let’s not rely on a single frame then

Check it out

The only thing missing is the flags. He either did it on purpose or as a joke, both are near equally pathetic. You have to take a step back at some point and ask yourself, “What am I defending, and why?” And not rhetorically, the answers to these questions are very important. It’s ok to have standards like: “We don’t want cabinet members doing nazi impressions at the president’s inauguration in front of 1 billion people. That would be bad”. Even though that’s a very high bar to set I think it’s more than fair, we expect a lot of these folks. For any that were hurt by musk’s actions, my heart goes out to you. Because that’s what this means now, apparently.

Losers grasping at straws trying to make sense of their humiliating defeat, just like a zoob.

None of you actually believe your “mah nazi” hyperbole. It’s sad to see so many brainwashed by media.

I did not know about the Bellamy salute. Thank you for educating me.

Musk was simply recalling his younger days in American grade school, of course.

They’ve been defined as other terms like terrorists. But they are all equally as bad. Anyone with hate towards or a desire to cause harm to someone because they are different need…. Whataboutism will also bring down humanity.

The fact that you think him being the richest man in the world makes him somehow above criticism is hilarious. Remember when he called one of the British divers a “pedo guy.” Elon is nothing more than corporate filth that has infected our government.

A closet Nazi that wears the “bring them home” pin supporting Israeli hostages from October 7th and has given millions to Israel to help them post October 7th. This thread is an absolute joke. It reminds me of the many mindless far left posts that made UteFans into an online cesspool of liberal group think.

More and more people are figuring this out, Thunder.

Anyone that uses media for their information can be manipulated from the right and left. It’s their job to promote their agenda and they twist what people say. There is no truth coming from any media because it’s not their job. To know who and what people are just listen to their words, how they say it and watch their actions. That will tell you what someone is really trying to do.

We all bleed red and that’s what’s important. Go Utes!!

It’s pretty good until someone brings up mormonism. Which probably shouldn’t be discussed on the board much

I don’t know. Someone who’s only worried about making more money wouldn’t be over paying for twitter and going against the woke narrative. He lost a ton of money on the whole deal and continues to do so as left leaning companies won’t advertise on X. If he wanted more money, he would have kept with Silicon Valley.

When Biden was president, he held a forum for all electric car manufacturers, but guess who was not invited? That’s right, Elon Musk. If his sole purpose was to infiltrate the government why would he gamble on Trump winning a second time after losing? It seems like a bad bet for someone hell bent on money and power. Why not just toe the party line that’s in office and for whom you’ve been a part of most of your life anyway? That would have been quickest and surest way to influence government.

^^^^^

Comes down to perception. Personally, I don’t think he’s a Nazi but the outcome of what I’d call a poorly chosen gesture at the wrong place in time definitely elicited emotion from people on the left and far right. I’m your typical run-of-the-mill American who tends to hate government, both its bloated ineffectiveness and increasing privacy infringements. Still, the guy seems to have quickly consolidated vast power economically and politically. This is potentially a big problem that could escalate quickly. If he does harbor some fascist sentiment (I do believe he does to a degree), buyer beware. Many things I agree with him on, HB1 visas for talent, big on engineering investment for students, and choosing the best available talent for critical jobs. America needs a full-scale reinvestment in education and innovation because we stand to lose standing in that critical piece we have excelled in for over a century.

He just needs to stop openly walking, talking, and acting like a Duck on his platform and in public. Get some wins with DOGE (if even possible) and talk about that.

I don’t like Biden and don’t support his pardons, but I always eyeroll when people insist on making vague accusations of liberals being pedophiles conveniently without acknowledging that Trump spent years cohorting with Jeffrey Epstein, is on the Epstein flight logs, has had Epstein victims accuse him of having sex with minors (aka rape), and appointed the judge who gave Epstein his sweetheart deal his Secretary of Labor (Alexander Acosta). Then there are Trump’s many extremely creepy sexual comments about Ivanka. And how about nominating sex trafficker Matt Gaetz for attorney general — someone so vile that not even the MAGA-captured GOP would back his nomination. There is sooo much denialism and projection when right-wingers make accusations of pedophilia.

“TDS is a hell of a drug. They are going to get a major fix for the next 4 years.”

This one is always hilarious to me.

– Trump: Says or does something stupid.
– Most people: “Wow, that was really stupid”
– MAGA: “TDS! TDS! YOU HAVE TDS! TDS!!!!”

I would think it’s must be exhausting to have to twist yourselves into knots to defend whatever nonsense he spouts. Have fun with that, I guess.

“Elon is full throated Nazi.”

I’m sorry but that’s just a stupid statement and really shows a tremendous ignorance of what National Socialism entails.

This is the national socialist philosophy summarized in 25 points. You tell me how many you think fit in with today’s political agendas:

1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.
4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.
5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.
6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, officeholding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.
7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.
9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber1 and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
19. We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that a: All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race b: Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language c: Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications or any influence on them and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.
24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.
25. For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

Also, have you ever considered that he “supports” Israel because it’s an Apartheid State and he agrees with “cleansing” Gaza on white supremacy principles.

Classic enemy of my enemy, is my friend.
oh look, Musk doing mote Nazi stuff and speaking to the actual nazi resurgence party…
