Apple kissing the ring. Do ut des (for the Latin fans). It is very sad to see that what was the “beacon of freedom” is now becoming just another autocratic banana republic with tech oligarchs surrounding the political leader to gain even more riches while the political leader uses his offices to get richer too (Krypto memes, hotels etc.). Not sure what still distinguishes a Putin from a Xi from a Trump.
All of them, aside from Xi, (Tim, Trump, Putin pre Ukraine, Musk) kiss the Pope's ring. What's your point?
 
I don't see how that is in any way responsive to what I said. People who deliberately perform Nazi salutes, claim that the "white race" is superior, and espouse the "great replacement" theory are Nazis. Not sure how that's even debatable.
Soooo, are the media, UN, Democrats, and on... all Nazis?
Twisting it as a "conspiracy theory" because they're mad it was noticed... I mean, it's basically the playbook:

I don't agree with some of Musk's thinking and ideas but he is far from being antisemitic and that was certainly not a Nazi arm gesture. Media and certain groups need to stop with these absurdities. As for Apple doing biz with X, certainly makes sense.
I want to know, how was it not a nazi solute? it looked exactly like the ones we saw in documentaries about Nazi Germany.
 
Say....., did n't elon musk step aside from running X a year, two years ago?
he bought the site, then asked everyone if they wanted him in charge,
then after a 53% of YES, he stepped down and appointed someone else.

 needs X like a X needs an !
 
Leftist media is truly based on this quote from Joseph Goebbels : “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
"That guy is the most racist (I think you are talking about the person protesting immigrant rapists who were freed due to fear of racism), that other guy is a Nazi, that one over there is just pure evil, please don't ask me for source because it doesn't exist"
And as I said before, it's Joever and ministry of propaganda failed on November, real world is different from MR forum or Reddit, the sooner you realize it the better.

I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and **** out a better argument than the drivel you're posting, kiddo.

What has he ever done that convinces you he's "far from antisemitic?"

Oh, so you believe in the insanely racist great replacement conspiracy theory. Cool, good to know.

Just to untangle this for anybody reading who isn't an avowed racist, the "great replacement theory" is a white supremacist fever dream that Democrats are deliberately letting in illegal immigrants (who can't vote, btw) to "replace" white people. The theory has been explicitly cited by numerous mass murderers as justification for their crimes, including the Buffalo, NY shooter (who specifically targeted Black people and killed 10) and the Christchurch, NZ shooter (who specifically targeted Muslims and killed 51 and injured 49 at a mosque).

In an attempt to "prove" it, this user has linked (1) a NYT article about how Black people in Georgia should vote (gasp!), (2) a (admittedly poorly named) UN study on immigration as a solution for aging populations and low birth rates, (3) a TIME article about how demographics are not destiny, (4) a Fox article about how fighting for "Dreamers" appeals to voters and is a good idea politically, and (5) a paywalled blog post from an obscure far-right nonprofit.

I believe people when they tell me something. Let me type the title of the first article:

Can
*Replace*
Them
It is a strategy. Period. Sorry someone noticed and pointed it out. Wait, not sorry. I find it pretty disgusting to think you can gain and retain power based on immutable characteristics like the amount of melanin someone's skin.

How long do the Nazis hold their hand out? Are you aware this is also found associated with the Roman Empire (those I believe this association is somewhat false in origin). As well, it is a matter of context and how did the WW2 Nazis start with hand to heart first?

Btw, I am keenly aware that 14 Jewish groups have publicly existed from "X" for the very reasons you suggest. I don't see it that way as I was taking this in context of his appearances. As for him being associated with the far Right in Germany, they are not linked to neo Nazis but Neo Nazis come to them since they are contrary to opening up Germany to more "refugees."

ss2cire, I'll keep my eyes open and if something does seem (to me) to be as you say, I will fully acknowledge it. Only catch is I don't use X social platform so will have to see it elsewhere or hear him say things that match this notion of him having an affinity for the Nazis or perhaps, Neo-Nazis.

Let me ask you something (as we are keeping this a conversation - what is your take on Elon Musk's friendship or friendliness to the state of Israel? Seems Netanyahu doesn't see Musk as being Nazi like or similar. Thoughts?

Ooooooh so the article (which is about how Black Americans should vote in Georgia and "replace" white supremacists in the Georgia government) has the word "replace" in the title so that proves that replacement theory is real. Again, fascinating.

Ngl it's somewhat close, but still clearly not the same thing. Walz also doesn't have a history of supporting and reposting white supremacist conspiracy theories.
We all know that if anyone on the right did that, they'd be labeled a Nazi.
So Elon is forced (by the ADL!) to do a photo op at Auschwitz after public outcry for reposting blatant antisemitism, and that proves he's "far from antisemitic?" Fascinating.
Isn't it ironic that the ADL is defending him after the outrage from the supposed Nazi salute?

??? ADL forcing the richest man in the world to do a visit? The same Musk who also was in Israel around October 7th and openly condemned Hamas? I am not defending Musk and in fact, disagree with some of his views of what the USA needs to do or for that matter, mankind in general.

If you don't think Musk telling Germans last week they shouldn't "lose [German culture] in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything" isn't him having an affinity for Nazis, I don't know what to tell you.

Tons of Christian fundamentalists are also very supportive of Israel. Why? Because they believe it will bring about the second coming of Christ, who will force the Jews to convert or kill them all in the Rapture.
