                    @EitherWayUp: Who can say for sure. I’d expect with Musk it’s nothing more complicated than for money, power, fame, boredom. I really don’t think he’s an ideologist like Russell Vought.

                    Could also be that there’s some serious kompromat on Musk. He’s very impulsive so could easily have gotten himself into a mess.

                  • @EitherWayUp: Isnt it because he was brought up in Apartheid South Africa and so has an element of believing that white people are a master race?

                    I am that would fit the salute, supporting AfD in Germany and also Tommy Robinson in the UK. Can someone describe anything more convincing? Why is his so called trolling always with a common theme?

              @TheDukeOfNukem:

              I'd have thought everyone would oppose pulling a (profanity) sieg heil on stage with the president

              Only if you buy into the narrative and are looking for an excuse to get upset about something you've already decided you don't like.

              to know that bringing back nazism is a bad thing

              Sure, but wake me up when that happens outside of the Left's cartoon view of the world and the 'everyone I disagree with is Hitler' routine. Because that has been done to death recently.
              Out of interested what is the definition of 'Nazism' that you think applies here? Let's see how well this idea stacks up to reality.

                Left's cartoon view of the world

                This is bang on. Elon a Nazi?? It's ridiculous and no honest person actually believes this.

                  @trapper: He was effectively campaigning for the neo nazi party in Germany. His grandparents were members of the nazi party in Canada. He platforms anti-semites. He did a sieg heil better than hitler himself, and he did not apologise about it. If he did the same sieg heil while in Germany he would be arrested.

                  So the question is: what does a person have to do to act like they're a nazi in your view? Literally be a member of the nazi party in Germany in the 30s and 40s? Wear a nazi uniform? Literally say they're a nazi like whackjob Ye did? Do you think Germany would need all of this to prosecute a person for doing a sieg heil?

                  This gaslighting sh-t is pathetic. You're obviously a nazi sympathiser (at the very least), so why don't you just admit that it's fine to do the sieg heil? I'm sick of you cowards always opting to gaslight everyone else to protect yourselves from having to admit this sh-t. It reminds me of those neo nazi losers I see on the news; you know, the guys whose faces you cannot see because they're too chicken sh-t to be "real men" and show their faces. Pathetic.

                Point 2: what are you talking about? There's been like 3 or 4 higher up politicians in America who've done the sieg heil since Elon did it. I don't know how much more of a nazi you can be than doing their little hail hydra schtick.

                Like, enjoy either being so far up a billionaire's arse that you can excuse them being A LITERAL (profanity) NAZI (just like his parents, maybe Google them), or enjoy being so stupid that you don't think someone doing A (profanity) SIEG HEIL ON A PODIUM counts as siding with nazi ideals

                  We still don't all like Nazis, although the closest we've actually come to Nazi's is during Covid when a lot of people seemed to embrace that behaviour.

                  The problem you seem to be struggling with is that just because you label someone something, doesn't automatically make them that thing. This is the principle of justice that modern Western Civilisation is built on. The Left really needs to learn how that works.

                  Did it occur to you that perhaps it's just a simple case of you being baited by the rage algorithm?

                    Or did it occur to you that perhaps since he did that on stage with the president, that just maybe, it's a simple case of "the son of Nazi parents doing a Nazi gestureTM on stage with a political leader, might actually be a Nazi"?

                    I can't take the bait anymore man, like, you've either never Googled this man, or you're trolling. There is just too much against him to, as some people try to sweep it under the rug with, "he's just autistic, he's weird, he does dumb shit" like he KNOWS what that symbol means and so do you and he did it anyway. He's either the world's dumbest edge lord (which, to be fair, is possible) or he KNOWS exactly what he did because he (profanity) supports that shit. I'm out man.

                      I find the limiting on freedom of expression to be very uncivilised. That is what they do in North Korea and China, and how is that working out?

                      Put it this way, If our hate speech were tightened so that you weren't allowed to criticise Elon Musk or Donald Trump would you think that improve our society or worsen it?

                      a sieg heil in public

                      Still waiting for that video of an actual WW2 Nazi so we can compare. It's actually comedy that for all the hundreds angry claims in this thread alone not a single person can produce a single piece of evidence from an actual Nazi. Doesn't something inside of you think hey, why is there ZERO evidence to support this outrageous claim? The only thing we keep getting is cosplay versions on Tiktok and Reddit, almost like it has been constructed that way to make people angry…

                      Do you value evidence, or is 'trust me bro' your standard for justice?

                      And now you know why the First Amendment exists. Different people will always have different opinions, and if one side were able to suppress the other then tyranny would ensue. This works both ways.

                        Can't be too bad since your boy Trump is cozying up with the North Koreans.

                        You can say whatever you want, in the same way anyone can say what they want back. If someone does a sieg heil (because he did ) then we can (and should) hold him accountable. But in terms of censorship, since that's where y'all always take it, ol' mate Elon has been doing a TONNE of it since he bought Twitter. How do you feel about that ?

                        Google one mate, it's not hard to look. Why don't you (since you were talking to someone else clearly asking for a video) show me what a sieg heil looks like, let's go and see if Elon looks nothing at all like that

                        Do you value evidence? Because Elon's out there banning and erasing Twitter accounts he disagrees with left right and centre, just as the White House won't allow countless publications to run certain things anymore, it's almost like they're both on an active campaign to block people from seeing evidence.

Imagine how lame your argument is that you continually make excuses for not providing any evidence to support your claim. 'Trust me bro' is not evidence is case you're unsure of how that works.

                                    attack

                                    So again you're just making stuff up with zero evidence.

                                    and gaslight.

                                    The script never changes

                                    It's not a script it's logic. And that never changes because it works every time. It's Kryptonite for Lefties because their arguments are always devoid of any robust logic just like you and old mate here. eg:

                                    'Elon is a Nazi!'.
                                    Could you provide some evidence to support that?
                                    'REEEeeeeee!!!! Stop gaslighting me!!!!'

                                    For someone who posted Carl Sagan, you obviously have no idea who he is. He wrote a very good book about precisely what you are doing here called 'Demon Haunted World'. It's pretty much explains your entire schtick of vague hand wavy claims with zero evidence to support them. I suggest you read it, learn what logic and reason is, then come back. I'll give you a TL;DR version here: For a conclusion to be logically sound, a claim must be supported by evidence.

Most of the west is turning left because of rabid left lunatics like these and they can’t even see that because anytime anything happens which they dont like, its racist, bigoted, against lgbtq and now the latest Nazism. And when there are consequences for their actions, like there would be in US aka domestic terrorism, these eternal victims will then cry how they are being ostracised by the system and the right wing. Idiots - they should never have been allowed to burn down whole cities and loot everything during BLM. Thats when the lunacy really started.

                  Put it this way, let's assume the worst and that Elon Musk is in fact the reincarnation of Hitler. What is the plan here? He builds some EVs and some rockets, saves the US taxpayers some money, then what? What is the end goal that you are all so frightened of?

                      It's called education. Allow me to demonstrate this claim with evidence so you may learn how the claim/evidence paradigm works:
                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_…
                      https://www.hudson.org/national-security-defense/100-years-o…

                      Hitler could only dream of those sort of figures… so the conclusion that Communism is 'worse' than Nazism is verifiable true. Sounds like you may have just learned something new.

                  True, but you need to take you own advice and read up the difference. Two things can be different and both bad for different reasons.

                      I already answered this. But I'll repeat it again, this strategy is covered in Sun Tzu's Art of War:

                      "All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."

                      If you 'read your history', you would know that both Stalin and Hitler knew the alliance was strategic and would eventually be broken because Hitler's goal was always to defeat the Soviet Union. The pact was merely for each party to buy time to prepare for the main event. All warfare is based on deception…

                                  It's not a test of ideology to consider whether this duck-looking and duck-sounding animal could be loosely termed a duck, despite having unusual red feathers.
                                  But it's pretty ideological to get hung up on narrowly defining the label, and dismiss all the waddling and quacking, in order to say that red feathers mean it is definitely nothing resembling a duck.

                                  And by fixating on whether you've received specific answers about the red feathers, it highlights that you don't view your questions as rhetoric to make an argument, but as the actual substance of your argument, and how hollow that is.
                                  You aren't refuting all the waddling and quacking and duck(-like) poo, or making a case for why the red feathers mean something else, or even why they are important. Instead, you are pointing out something people deem irrelevant and waiting for them argue with themselves about it, and feeling clever if they decline to do so.

                                    Yep, I've watched plenty of WW2 docos with actual Nazis and even Hitler himself on video doing salutes and never saw one that looked like that. If you've seen one that compares could you send me a link?
                                    I did see some cosplay Hollywood versions on Tiktok and Reddit though as the rage algorithm went to work. I'm not sure cosplay counts though…

                                    I've also read up about the history of military salutes and how the Nazis copied their salute of the Italian Fascist Party, who copied theirs from the Romans. So maybe Elon is secretly a Neo-Roman who is seeking to initiate a 4th Punic war to destroy Carthage once again?

                                    This is equally crazy as the Nazi theory. Under you theory when does Elon invade Poland? What do you think the master-plan is for this supposed 4th Reich?

                                    As someone who had family tortured by real Nazis, I prefer if you're a little more careful about loosely throwing around slurs that desecrate the memories of millions of people who died a the hands of the real Nazis. Every time you do this you cheapen the horror that was inflicted on all of them.

                                      @1st-Amendment: There you go again. We, you, not me, lefties, nazis, Italian fascists, Romans, neo Romans, yada yada.
                                      And you've studied your salutes well. How wrong of anyone else to suggest that a salute may bear symbolism, without the correct form.

                                      It's sad that you are so fixated on defining the world through strictly defined labels.
                                      How do you interpret new or nuanced information? How do you assess individuals based on their unique characteristics? I mean, you're clearly not adept at it. What if someone deviates from your assumptions of them???
                                      And for someone so pedantic over the historical accuracy of labelling modern day authoritarianism, you are pretty quick to label me whatever suits you as an enemy to make assumptions and get angry about. Me, left-wing, with my pink hair and mismatched genitals. Grrr.

                                      I honestly cant tell if you asked the Poland question is hyperbole, as one vague twinge of recognition of the consequences of taking labels way too literally, while devoid of any self awareness.
                                      Or maybe you meant it, I won't assume.

                                      Which again, is fixation on minute details in ignorance of the rich tapestry of economic and administrative vandalism taking place in the white house.
                                      Call it Nazi, call it fascism, call it what you will.

                                      You seem to have confused threads. I asked YOU that question because all you offered was emojis

                                      No you didn't. I responded to your labelling someone else via meme with emojis just as dumb, and you responded with a statement celebrating my non-answer to a dumb question I wasn't asked, as an intellectual victory.
                                      Perhaps you confused me for the other poster. Must be an easy mistake when we're all predefined labels with no individual form

                                        So you agree it wasn't really a Nazi salute you just wanted it to be one badly that close enough was good enough?

                                        At least we sorted that out…

                                          Elon doesn't care that he has evoked the history and symbolism of the Nazi salute. Because he doesn't care, and because of the power he has, it is close enough.

                                          It doesn't mean it's the 1930s and Poland is in danger. But it does mean that in 2025 Elon is comfortable evoking Nazi symbolism, for his own purposes.

                                            Ok so let's assume you are 100% right, Elon is an actual Nazi, a literal reincarnation of Hitler, what is the fear here? What evil deeds do you think he will impose on the world if not invading Poland or gassing Jews? Is it more EV's? Oh the horror! Cheaper Rockets? More widespread fast internet? More efficient government?

                                            What do you think the end game is for supposed 'Hitler Elon'? When does the tyranny begin specifically?

                                                Instead of telling me what YOU think that I'M thinking, how about stop avoiding the questions I asked and try answering some of them?
                                                Are they that awkward that you choose deflecting over accepting the your argument is weak and cannot withstand a little scrutiny?

                                                        Also worth noting, Google tailors search results so what you see in a search differs from what I see, so send the actual URL to the actual videos, not just a google query.

                                                        If you're interested in learning more about this powerful new technique here's a quick overview:

                                                        TL;DR:
                                                        An argument is a structured way of presenting reasoning to support a point of view. It consists of:
                                                        Claim – The main assertion or opinion being argued.
                                                        Premises – The EVIDENCE or reasoning that supports the claim.
                                                        Conclusion – The final point being proven, logically derived from the premises.

                                                                    Yes I've seen Elon, and I've seen plenty of WW2 docos to know that wasn't the same thing. What I waiting for from you is the comparison evidence that made YOU think it was the same.
                                                                    So far we've got Tiktok and Reddit cosplay comparison, which is just rage bait. But not one single person can provide an actual Nazi to compare. Doesn't that seem odd to you that not a single person can do this? Is there some part of your brain that thinks, hey maybe the Emperor is not wearing any clothes?

It's beyond belief that you would so much effort dancing around a simple request to show some evidence for your claim if you had it. The conclusion therefore that the claim is unsubstantiated.

                                                                    and what you were disputing (conclusion).

                                                                    You can't make a conclusion until you've have a premise (evidence). This is covered above.

                                                                    Then what's preventing you from providing any?

In logic you can't make a conclusion without a premise, but since the Left are unburdened by logic and reason you just believe whatever feels right to you. This is exactly how all Leftist ideas work.

                                    Has to be the dumbest argument I have ever heard. What political influence did he had during Democrats rule? Which Democrat President did a infomercial for his company on White House premises? Now he's basically a Co-President because he spend $250 million and pushing his far-right ideology everywhere.

                                      If the rabid left lunatics did not destroy public property out of their misplaced sense of self righteousness, the American president would not have to step in to defend an American company under violent attack either. Elon does not have any constitutional authority - i am not sure how you become a co-president without it but when you can be called a Nazi just like that I think nothing is out of the order.

                                      As for election funding, would the high donors to the democrats be considered “oligarchs” as well in your opinion, past and present or is it just one way when it goes to the candidate you dont like? Kamala campaign raised and spent more than 1.1bn dollars compared to $453mn for Trump - so who are the oligarchs on the either side if that is the only determining factor?

                                      What decisions has Trump taken which directly “favour” Elon Musk? The fact is under previous administration Boeing was awarded $4.82 billion under NASA's Commercial Crew Program to develop and operate its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft for astronaut transportation to the ISS while SpaceX received $2.6 billion to develop and operate its Crew Dragon spacecraft. Almost twice the money and yet it is SpaceX who brought the astronaut’s back. That is called a favor.

Don't you know that Tesla is the main beneficiary of Auto tariffs? Why did India recently let Tesla sell cars in India without local manufacturing and why did they give SpaceX regulatory approval for satellite internet?

                                        Answer is simple. Trump is using his power to benefit Elon and his companies.

If the point was indeed to promote EV's in general, why leave out the most American, largest EV company in the world which actually made EV's mainstream but endorse GM who barely sold any EV's in America at the time but yeah questioning it is whataboutism. I'll tell you why - because one of the biggest democrats donors are UAW of America.

                                          Block-quote What type of a moron thinks that rioters of January 6 Capitol attack, which injured cops and destroyed public property

                                          So now whataboutism is okay? What kind of a moron equates the damage due to BLM which was in billions of dollars to both public property and private businesses to a riot in the capitol and 25 people died. What exactly was the damage to the capital? How many police officers died in the so called attack? And all of these protestors were prosecuted and put behind bars and were already behind bars for several years before being pardoned - how many of the BLM's were? Including the most corrupt which bought mansions using donated money?

                                          And this is the rabid left's last resort for justifying their own violence - oh look capital riots. If i had a dollar everytime someone made the same argument, I would be a billionaire by now.

                                          Block-quote but destroying private property of a Trillion dollar company is domestic terrorism?

                                          Yes it is numpty. It literally fits the definition of domestic terrorism. I guess FAFO and I hope each and everyone of them is put behind bars for the longest time. And what has company valuation got to do with destroying property?

                                          Block-quote Stupid is what stupid does. I can't believe there are people in Australia dumb enough to not know the difference. It's open season for corruption, where Orange moron is giving away pardons to convicted criminals like Nikola CEO in return for favors, selling his meme coins and his sons are making billions from their Crypto Ponzi schemes, meanwhile idiot MAGA are supporting all the corruption.

                                          You are a bigger fool than I originally thought if you think even the president of USA get away with any of this. By the way I agree that Nikola CEO should never have been pardoned. All of the so called MAGA's are calling out the pardon as well.

                                          Block-quote Which oligarch donating to Democrats was a Co-President and practically living in white house? Which Oligarch repeatedly appeared in every Oval office or Cabinet meetings? Use brain, if you have any.

                                          lol as long as everything is done subtly and behind the doors it is okay but if you are out and center its not because now you can see what i am doing? Slow clap idiot.

                                          Block-quote Why did you think he was appointed to Doge? First thing he did was remove government departments investigating his companies.

                                          lol tell me what those investigation are? This is a typical leftie brain fart of an article - just keep quoting, there were x investigations going on? Investigations for what? What were the charges they were investigating? Were they serious charges? Musk has been clear even before the elections how bureaucracy is stifling the execution given the current speed of change due to technology. His spats with FAA are well documented.

                                          Block-quote Also, why didn't Trump cancel the EV credits as he had promised? Why is FAA cancelling deal with Verizon and giving it to SpaceX? Don't you know that Tesla is the main beneficiary of Auto tariffs? Why did India recently let Tesla sell cars in India without local manufacturing and why did they give SpaceX regulatory approval for satellite internet?

                                          lol the leftist were unhappy when the news came out about EV incentives - "thats unfair to the other American EV makers because Tesla is profitable" and they are unhappy still when they havent been taken away. They will always be unhappy unless the world works exactly how they want it to.

                                          FAA/USDOT is unhappy with Verizon speed of execution, and it is a well known fact. The contract has not been awarded to SpaceX either. They are still testing. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/usdot-says-ve…

                                          Elon has never asked for EV incentives. He was always been against it including petroleum subsidies by the way. As for the so called loan, this is the reality. By the way neither GM or Ford have paid their loans yet. Only Nissan and Tesla have and Tesla paid off the in 2013 itself.

                                          "USDOE announced in 2009 $8.4 billion in conditional loan agreements for Ford Motor Company; Nissan North America, Inc.; Tesla Motors, Inc. and Fisker Automotive to fund the development of advanced vehicle technologies. Additionally, DOE has spent approximately $3.3 billion on federal credit subsidies costs in order to secure the loans for the few approved companies.[7][8] The loan commitments include a $5.9 billion loan to Ford for upgrading factories in five states to produce 13 more fuel-efficient models, a $1.6 billion loan to Nissan to build advanced electric vehicles and advanced batteries, and a $465 million loan to Tesla Motors to manufacture its new electric sedan."

                                          As for India allowing Tesla (or any other American company for that matter if they want to), that is due to Trump's stand on tariffs and India trying to appease Trump to not put more tariffs on. India charges more than 100% tax on fully imported cars - previous administration was okay with it, Trump isnt. In anycase, India is a tiny market for cars that expensive and the sales would be in few thousand at a maximum per year if not less. FYI, we buy more Mercedes cars in Australia than they do in India per year and we have a smaller population than New Delhi

                                          If you had done any research or had any knowledge what so ever, you would have known already that satellite spectrum isnt auctioned which the incumbent telecom companies in India were calling for. And yet starlink still had to go with an existing company and could not offer services by themselves.

                                          Block-quote Answer is simple. Trump is using his power to benefit Elon and his companies.

                                          The answer is that you are a gullible fool who makes his opinions after reading a few headlines, headlines which are made to fool gullible idiots like you anyway. I want to say well done to them but given its so easy, I wont.
