  As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.

  Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.

  His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

    Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won’t respond to your answer.

    One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would’ve earned himself a big red “Nazi Defender” tag.

      you can also tag people on Lemmy, or at least I can. look for the menu button on a user name/profile and “Add Tag”

        Hmm… I definitely don’t see an About user menu or Add Tag or Tag User on their profile. Maybe it has something to do with your lemmy browser.

        That must be specific to whatever app you are using. It isn’t in the default ones.

      Nah its much simpler label than that.

      “Troll”

      The topic doesn’t matter, it more about fishing for provocation. In this case I couldn’t help myself, but… you know, don’t feed the trolls.

    His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring.

    Tim Waltz did the exact same salute btw. The same Tim Waltz that says that Trump 100% did a nazi salute.

      Here’s the full, non cropped video. It’s around the 1:15 mark.

        It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.

      Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.

      Also, I think you may have missed what “red herring” means.

      • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I didn’t misinterpret that, I was simply pointing out that it wasn’t a nazi salute unless you also think Tim Waltz is a nazi.

  If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

  Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

  Musk owns X.

  Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

      Italian here, Roman actually.

      The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

      It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

      So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

    Tim Waltz, one of the people vigorously calling Musk a Nazi for doing that action, is on video doing the exact same “salute”:

    You’ll agree Tim Waltz is a Nazi, I assume?

  Some people wouldn’t know a Nazi if he was sending people to camps without trial, trying to outlaw the political opposition, fomenting a cult of personality, launching coups, oppressing the most vulnerable people, ratcheting up racist attacks, and threatening to attack Denmark.

      You are the one being all sensitive and whiney about people calling out Musk. You need to grow up and learn people aren’t beholden to your disingenous bullshit.

  I think it has lost meaning.

  It has. Completely. Basically what it means today is “people who disagree with me” and should be regarded as such. Unfortunately the actual nazis will fly under the radar now.

  The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.

  Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

    Nazis are opposed to the basic human rights of anyone who isn’t a white hetero, usually a man.

    Nazi sympathisers deserve a bullet in the head. That includes you.

      I guess we can start adding ‘nazi sympathizer’ to the list of terms that have lost their meaning.

      Remember, you only have people like yourself to blame.
