For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking "he's an idiot and he's just drawing attention to himself." But now, to anyone that was still thinking "maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn't really mean it", this is it. If you're not getting it now you never will. He's literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.
- He’s doing the same shit Kayne was/is
- He's just a removed.
  
  I've known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They're often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don't need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.
  
  Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump's taint instead.
  
  We don't need to resort to ableism to hate a nazi.
  
  No.
  
  This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.
  
  Elon is a Nazi, full stop.
  
  Those aren't mutually exclusive.
  
  Yes but also he’s a nazi
  
  In all my days, I've never seen a better comment that asked for a "no u."
  
  He is both a moron and a Nazi
In the same vein, Musk didn't make billions. Tesla workers did.
- Can we agree to this and not the Hitler thing ?
  
  I feel like absent Hitler, they would not have self organized to put people in ovens. Whereas the workers would still have gone out and produced wealth (for another capitalist).
- I like this reading.
  
  I will also accept that maybe Elon is calling his right wing cultist followers dumb fucking sheep who will bend to their master's will
I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don't deal with them, they'll deal with you...

There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

ZERO TOLERANCE motherfuckers!
- There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.
  
  And so you piss and shit on their graves as much as possible right?
  
  There is no knowing exactly where it is, because it's unmarked (because fuck them). BUT I piss everywhere in that area just in case.
These CEOs always claim they can't do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I'd demand felon's head for doing all this damn to my investment.
- It's a meme stock, not an 'investment'.
  
  And now Musk has parlayed it, and his various pyramid scheme-like companies into replacing as much of the US government as he can get away with with his junk.
  
  The US will suffer.
- There's got to be tons of lawsuits right? Like all the people that have been fired and tons of people being affected negatively by musk probably have class action lawsuits and stuff?
- You’d have to be very dense to be CEO and get political at all…
  
  CEOs and politics go hand in hand. It's the public broadcast that Elon can't seem to curb that's the problem.
Mussolini didn't string himself up from the service station, the enraged masses did.
This animal needs to go.
- Make him go, then. The world is watching. (Assuming you are American)
  
  At this point I'm thinking the only thing that's going to restore our image on the world stage is if we go full Londo when the Vorlons were moving in on Centauri Prime.
- *needs to be put down
  
  Federal death penalty is still a thing and treason is a high felony.
  
  Tesla tubby should be getting the rope for his crimes. With his assets nationalized as the apology for his disgusting behavior.
I know people need to eat and times are difficult, but I would have quit way before he said that. I still wonder why he has so many employees left.
- Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn't the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can't provide for their families...
- Scout is about to open a large EV factory in Columbia SC, there a lot of job postings for those willing to move, housing cheaper too
- I know people need to eat
  
  The rich?
  
  food that won't make them sick.
  
  and the rich are most sickening indeed.
  
  so it's important to balance one's diet after dining on roast billionaire.
This will do wonders for him in Germany.

Not. At this rate the German gov might start sanctioning his local company/factory.
- Sadly, probably not. That would require some political courage instead of craven avarice and an obsessive aversion to change.
If he admires the man so much, why isn’t he following in his footsteps?

Coward.
- He should just skip to the last chapter
  
  I fear me should probably try Stauffenberg-ing him in the meantime.
- He is. Hitler didn't start with exterminating huge swaths of people, or killing himself.
  
  They mean that they want him to skip to that.
Haha "The Onion", you almost got me... OH GOOD GOD
oh dear gods they're preparing to implement the final solution jesus fucking christ it's actually happening ._.
It sounds like a pretty good argument for pushing back against the administration and not following orders.
Guns don't kill people. I do. I kill people. with guns.

But it's real.
- Jon Lajoi was the bartender in the Necrogoblikon video for No one survives.
I made this fortune through my own hard work!!!

Also, the company did some terrible stuff all on its own.
One foot in germany and he wanders in jail. He doesnt have diplomatic imunitie <3
- Sadly, I think his money buys him out of any jail time anywhere
  
  Not this time. This is highly illegal in germany
- Is that so? How?
Oh of course, if you fire all your public workers, you can't have a genocide because there's nobody to carry out your orders.

Silly fucking me.

I'm assuming we can look forward to all those cops and ICE agents being fired then.
By that logic, billionaires didn't create anything, the workers did it.
- While using state capital too
Good thing they are arresting those scary antisemitic campus protesters.

Has the ADL responded to Elon yet?
Musk needs to be strapped into a chair, "Clockwork Orange" style and forced to watch all 9 hours of "Shoah."
This is a hail Mary tweet lol
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct ! /s
Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot's youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.
- you gotta be joking, thunderf00t is among the most unbearable, ignorant, most self-assured assholes going. he harassed random women for having opinions he disagreed with for years.
  
  US american, right?
- Who here exactly stood up for Elon musk? I came to Lemmy almost two years ago and I haven't seen it here
- You're so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.
  
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07
  
  *Anthem plays
  
  Thank you for your recognition of my keyboard warriorship service.
- Why do you feel so positive about Thunderf00t? The guy is supposed to be a physicist and does not even think about the squared cube law. He got full of his own shit once he became popular many years ago.
  
  He's a chemist.
