Your just gonna piss your ignorance all over this thread, like an old incontinent weiner dog, aintcha?

I’m voicing my opinion about titles like that. They are posted here to invoke a reaction. 99% of commenters here haven’t read the article. The title is the whole reason why it’s posted.

If you took a handgun from a Nazi, wouldn’t that be a Nazi handgun?
I didn’t think they are saying the car chose to be a Nazi

The same way you have a nazi uniform.
doodledup@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The audacity calling me a Nazi. You don’t know anything about me. Rekativising the atrocities Hitler has done by using Nazism as a common term. You don’t know anything.

That is a USA-style title. They love being loud and use strong words without understanding of their meaning. Cultural nuance.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
In the same sense that the kubelwagen was a nazi car. Now that I think about it, the kubelwagen kinda has similar lines to the cybertruck.

That's @Daojoan@mastodon.social, for those who can follow Mastodon handles. Worth following!

Thanks. I’m still figuring all this stuff out.

I guarantee that in a few months, mark my words, he will not be in Doge anymore, he will pivot to the Left, and SHE will come out as trans.
I would almost willingly put money on this.
Bjornir@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
Why would he do that? He has the closest thing to absolute power that existed since the independance of the US, without even getting elected and he would loose everything : the non-Nazis won’t forget what he did, and the Nazis won’t accept him.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Let me be more specific.
I think he will be kicked out of DOGE because of all the controversy and Trump’s own distaste for him. That between this and firing so many people who voted for Trump, Elon will become Persona Non Grata to the Right, pivot to the Left searching for some group willing to give him attention…
And in doing so, he will finally come out as trans… and be mercilessly mocked by the Right over it.
He will never find a group that accepts him (well her at this point), because we’ll still remember all the horrible things she did.
And sort of find herself in the same kind of limbo Caitlyn Jenner is in where Nazis hate her because she’s trans, and Non-Nazis hate her because she’s transphobic.
This is how I’m convinced Elon’s story will end. Just how I feel like this is going down.

Are we writing fan fiction for the government now?
I like how it follows the tradition of all fan fiction in being totally inconsistent with established personality traits.

For the Americans that don’t know the word Nazism: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism?wprov=sfla1
Although he has right-wing ideologies, there is no evidence of Elon Musk being a Nazi. A car can’t be a Nazi either.
I’m tired of all of the populism and strong headlines on Lemmy. Actual factual journalism gets burried deep in the feed.

“Ignore your lying eyes.”
Fuckin’ Nazi apologists.

No need to get personal. I’m open for a civilized discussion but not this.
uraniumcovid@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
yeah, no evidence other than spreading antisemitism on x and litterær fucking heiling /s

I legitimately didn’t know about that tweet. Can you share a source? I find a lot of articles but none of them quoting the content in full.

I don’t think I could do a better Nazi salute on purpose.
victorz@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Man, you can really see Adolf saying “Sieg Heil!” Scary stuff.
Not to mention the guy on the left.
ziggurat@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I guess you could say the same about Hitler, since he didn’t personally kill any jews. If killing jews isn’t a requirement then there is definetly evidence that musk is a neo-nazi
doodledup@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Seriously?
This is exactly what this polarizing title intended to do. Attract people like you who relativise the atrocities Hitler has done. Populism is a bitch and you’re falling right for it.
Just give me a informative article with normal title and stop filling Lemmy with all of this clickbaity populistic shit that helps nobody. I’m tired of it and tired of discussing it too.

Let’s look through your own Wikipedia link.
The union hating, multi-million dollar lobbying, vote-bribing billionaire totally supports actual democracy guys, trust me!
He actively supports Trump’s unitary executive theory and related policy goals.
Elon supporting an antisemetic tweet
He blames communism for making his trans daughter mad at him
He actively supports stopping aid to Ukrainians and ceding their land to Russia
Here’s him spreading scientific racism that claims people of European descent are superior
Elon refuses to enforce Twitter’s policies against homophobia and transphobia
Elon is a techno-eugenicist
He regularly promotes white nationalists online
The only very few, specific categories I didn’t find any explicit mentions of him doing in my 10 minutes of searching around were anti-Romani sentiment and social darwinism, and you’d be hard pressed to prove that everyone you’d probably otherwise consider a Nazi throughout history believed every single possible bullet point in this Wikipedia page.
If all this doesn’t make him a Nazi, then I don’t know what does.

nazis didn’t exist, they were all confused autists making awkward gestures

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Musk isn’t a member of the Nazi party. He does hold a lot of important views in common with them, however. He also associates with people who fit most of the rest.
What percentage do you think is needed before calling someone a Nazi?
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Saluting like a nazi is sufficient as far as I’m concerned.
dinckelman@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
No evidence, except for that the entire first paragraph of that page describes his exact behavior. No need to be a bootlicker
psivchaz@reddthat.com 4 weeks ago
I disagree. He’s done enough that calling him a Nazi feels accurate to me. Or at least enough of a Nazi sympathizer that I totally support not doing business with him.
What I get frustrated by is justifying hurting the people that have his cars. Having a Tesla does not make one a Nazi sympathizer. You could maybe make the case that buying one today might, but even then I don’t think it’s justified attacking people for having a car.
If you want to be an extremist about it, hurt the dealerships and the company. Don’t go after people who are almost certainly not that different from you. The people keying cars just want to feel smugly superior to someone and feel morally justified for being an asshole, they don’t want to make anything better for anyone. If that’s how you act, you’re just a fascist with a slightly different ideology.

Oh fuck off, bootlicker.

Thanks for the civilized discussion. Have a nice day to you too.
