Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 1 week agoI did know that. But I think you give him more credit of self-awareness than he has. Elon Musk is a vacuous ego with a lot of money. I don’t believe he has the depth of mind to actually hold any political ideology, for good or ill. I think he is singularly focused on being the Best Boy, and will ape anything that helps him feel that way.
even edgelord vacuous nazis are just that: nazis. No matter the reason, or if it’s meant “ironically”, they’re a nazi. There’s no excusing it, or softening it, they’re a full blown nazi.
He did the nazi salute on stage, at least twice, he holds extreme right-wing and white supremacist views, he is a nazi.
You probably right. He was the lib-left’s Best Boy a few years back, was gonna solve climate change and do cool science shit and whatever, but then I forget what exactly happened but he kinda swung the other direction.
Motivation probably doesn’t matter too much. It just highlights the systemic problem of allowing one person to have that much money-power.
He loved being the left’s guy, but then the federal government started investigating his companies and he realized that he needed Trump to keep him out of trouble. He literally said in an interview that if Harris won, “I’m fucked.” Now that he’s aligned with the most hated administration in history, he’s holing up and keeping quiet. He got what he needed, and I’m assuming that now he’s hoping we’ll all forget and he’ll cozy up to the Democrats if they ever regain power.

You make it sound as if Naziism is a political ideology and not just a hate cult. everyone who is a nazi because of self serving reasons is still a nazi, even if they are stupid or so drugged that one might question if they have any agency. they are still nazis.
Most nazis are really stupid and irrational and don’t need a reason either, still nazis.
