Summary

Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.

Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.

His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”

Musk claims he's targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.

Everyone saw his Hitler salute.

Many people read his leaked 4Chan comments saying how great hitler was.

Fuck him and his Nazi ass car company.

Two enthusiastic salutes says you a Nazi fuck boy Melon.

If someone destroys your reputation with lies, that is character assassination.

If your reputation is destroyed by people stating facts, you're just getting your comeuppance.

It’s outrageous for him to claim it’s outrageous for us to properly identify him as Nazi, his being Nazi and all.

Sieg Heiling Space Karen Elon Musk, to be certain, is a Nazi.

It would appear her snowflake feelings are hurt, because we're holding her accountable for her Sieg Heil salutes.

But she brought that on to herself.

If you don't want us to think your a nazi then stop doing nazi shit infront of literally the world press

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

...without specifying in which sense exactly, like, he is not precisely allegiant to Adolf

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

If he cheers on the neo Nazis, salutes like a Nazi, and tries to set up a government program to start gathering information about everyone (like Nazis did), he must be a duck!

[–] Emil_Zatopek1982@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago
