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
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 an 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.
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.
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?
I would personally add a small amount of slack for bad taste satire (we were all young idiots at some point), but basically agree. Any signs of the other points, and that slack is gone, however.
I was mostly curious if the OP was acting in bad faith, or a useful idiot that could be reasoned with.
For the Americans that don’t know the word Nazism: https://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.
Wwwaaahhh! Defending Nazis gets people to say mean things to me!
E: got dam autocorrupt
You’re not open to calling a Nazi a Nazi. Fuck you.
You don’t like being called a nazi apologist, don’t make excuses for nazis.
yeah, no evidence other than spreading antisemitism on x and litterær fucking heiling /s
well, his family, too. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/26/elon-musk-peter-thiel-apartheid-south-africa
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.
Fuck off with this sea-lioning bullshit. The Nazi salute and AFD promotion were international news.
Seriously, what are you getting out of this? It’s like arguing the sky isn’t blue.

I don’t think I could do a better Nazi salute on purpose.
there’s 0% chance he didn’t practice in front of the mirror like a fucking dork
Man, you can really see Adolf saying “Sieg Heil!” Scary stuff.
Not to mention the guy on the left.

Seriously?

Relatively speaking, Hitler was one of the worst people to ever live! And the richest man alive today idolizes him.
Imagine if Mansa Musa and Hitler teamed up! The world needs to not experience that!
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

Saluting like a nazi is sufficient as far as I’m concerned.

nazis didn’t exist, they were all confused autists making awkward gestures
Oh fuck off, bootlicker.
Thanks for the civilized discussion. Have a nice day to you too.
Civility is what is demanded of the oppressed after the oppressors robbed, assaulted and threatened. No more. ✊
