Summary

Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.

Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.

His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”

Musk claims he's targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.

Nazi works, but if he'd prefer something else, "technofascist" and "neo-feudalist" are both arguably even more accurate.

Or we could go a different way - "psychopathic douchebag" has a nice ring to it, or maybe "delusional fuckhead."

[–] TheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 days ago

He behaves like a Nazi so he's a Nazi. And clearly calling him that is getting under his skin, so it's working. I don't think using a different word will have the same effect. Heck, he might even latch onto neo-feudalist thinking it's cool or something.

Musk claims he's targeted for character assassination

Seem to remember him character assassinating a dude who helped save some Thai children a decade or so ago, except that was false and him acting real Nazi makes me think he prolly a real Nazi.

Also remember, every accusation from these people is an admission.

It’s 100% okay to kill a real Nazi. Moderate that if you are a Nazi loving fuck.

It’s outrageous for him to claim it’s outrageous for us to properly identify him as Nazi, his being Nazi and all.

If someone destroys your reputation with lies, that is character assassination.

If your reputation is destroyed by people stating facts, you're just getting your comeuppance.

Sieg Heiling Space Karen Elon Musk, to be certain, is a Nazi.

It would appear her snowflake feelings are hurt, because we're holding her accountable for her Sieg Heil salutes.

But she brought that on to herself.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Two enthusiastic salutes says you a Nazi fuck boy Melon.

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago
