I am writing this question because Musk did a Nazi salute, and after asking lemmy about it, and seeing the side by side video, and his seemingly mild response to people notixing it, I belive it was a Nazi salute.

So the "now what?" is in response to what seems like a tepid reaction from society.

Will Ameeica become even more unsafe for even more minorities?

Are people organizing or have they lost hope? should there be an organized boycott on Teslas or companies that spend money on twitter? Would it even matter?

Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?

Did you think he wasn't a white supremacist before then, when the n word became trending the day he bought Twitter, advertisers backed out after having their products next to Holocaust denial and hate speech, and literal neonazis are free to post hate slop but writing cisgender is a bannable offense?

Honestly everyone should have boycotted it the second he bought it and every other tweet was the n word spammed, or when you could no longer view replies without making an account.

Tech folks (doers, not bullshit finance bros) have known Musk was a piece of shit for the past twenty years.

Make friends, get organized, have a plan.

It's literally illegal to say more. Don't talk about it online or within earshot of "smart" devices.
