Do you consider Musk an actual Nazi?

Unquestionably so, yes. But this is simply from observing his lifetime of espousing plain Nazi ideology and supporting Nazi parties and movements across the world. I mean, also don't forget he and his father's life mission to repopulate the earth with their "superior white uber seed." This isn't speculation--this is them in their words, over generations.

There is no mystery here, as this is what papa and pupa Musk have long talked about, and they have published. I suggest not being on the wrong side of history when it comes to things like this. Equivocating on the facts of the matter, especially when these people are loudly bashing you in the head over exactly who they are and what they want, is not going to be a good look decades in the future when the dust clears from their machinations (again, do use history as a guide for what people exactly like Musk, loudly yell exactly what they want, and end up doing exactly what we know they will do. Also, be cautious with history because the future isn't written. Evil can always win, and it's very easy to do so when apathetic people that pretend what is true, maybe isn't true, let it happen).

Calling out people for exactly who they are isn't being "closed minded." There's no intellectual or moral bonus points for patiently "hearing out" what the Nazi wants to say and standing buy and letting them do exactly what they want to do, just to be certain that they did do exactly what they always wanted to do.

I've been listening to his podcast for a while, but since twitter guy and his fanboys started coming after him he's been reenergized. His wife was on the other day too, and apparently they're coming after her online too (with racist stuff). Like, just gross. Such fragile neckbeard snowflakes.

If Nina backs him all the way he will tear right through anything they put in front of him. But they do have kids.

Things are going well. Musk is making all the friends.

Gifted article good for two weeks.


Also Trump is asking Duffy to hire MIT grads to be air traffic controllers. “They have to be geniuses”

This was always one of the dumbest critiques of Twitter by conservatives. Twitter did not ban Nazis and other right wing shitposters because they were some ideological leftist internet warriors - they banned them because their customers didn't like it!

I am definitely coming around more to the view that Musk and his fellow investors don't actually care if it makes money. I'm sure they would prefer if it did but what they really want it for is the propaganda outlet. I mean I doubt the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia invested in Twitter due to a commitment to free speech.
