    Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

    Ahh, so he actually admit he achieve nothing and don’t deserve the billions he own, his worker did.

    Which one is it, melon husk?

    This adds to an ever-growing list of things.

    • He created a safe space for Nazis on his platform

    • He amplified pro-Nazi content on his platform

    • He offered support for Germany’s far-right AfD party, which uses Nazi symbolism in its posters.

    • He did not one, but two Nazi salutes during Trump’s inauguration.

    • He’s endorsed established antisemetic conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

    • After receiving backlash for the two Nazi salutes that he did at Trump’s inauguration, instead of apologizing, he posted Nazi puns.

    All the gaslighting from his supporters with “you can’t read his mind” “he’s autistic” and “it was a Roman salute/my heart goes out to you” is quite frankly an insult to people’s intelligence.

      Three salutes. Two to the podium, he then turned and did 1 more to the people behind and above him.

      Most video only showed the first 2

        And the public (selected as partisan people) immediately cheered, without any confusion or protest.

        People don’t show that enough. The public reaction is more important than the original gesture.

    Why the fuck is this fascist posting under the black flag? Does he consider himself an anarchist?

    Hitler did nothing wrong, he was just misunderstood! I was just following orders! I had no choice! I didn’t know! I’m the victim here, not those millions killed! I had the best intensions! I am just a small gear in a very large system! Yeah, but they did stuff too!

    “Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.

    They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.

    So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.

    Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?

    Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.

    …

    Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

    Jesus Christ.

      The holocaust had civilian participants as well. The Nazis recruited normal people to form a police force in the occupied territories, and then told them to execute “these jews over there” and they did. There was heavy alcohol abuse among these people, but there was no resistance even though there was no indication there would be punishement if orders were disobeyed

        to form a police force in the occupied territories

        So, not civilians then.

      Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

    I read this as a call to action for the people Musk/Trump are ordering around. If everyone just said “no, I won’t to do what you tell me” then we might avoid the collapse of the government/economy/country.

      This was my first reaction to him posting this. We know Leon hates a large portion of people, calling most parasites and such. He also does not think he is ever wrong and wouldn’t feel the need to defend himself by shifting blame, he would want the praise of ridding the world of people. He also fancies himself “clever” by saying things that mean something else and can then defect criticism with his great intellect and silly arguments. So this seems to be him telling people it would be ok to kill on his behalf and they need to be ready to do it. Of course he probably loves the idea of defending Nazis for funsies too.

      I think the person who originally posted it may have had that intent. I don’t know anything about them. But I’m skeptical that Musk’s retweet was for the same intent. 😀

    Everyone knows that armies are just a loose collection of undisciplined psychopaths that are basically left to their own devices.
