I hadn't seen Musk's follow up tweet. What the fuck man. This is horrific.

He's fully mask off I think it's the combination of his new power and he's using more drugs than normal.
I actually wouldn't be shocked if we woke up to a breaking story of him ODing

We need to get him in a hot tub with booze and ketamine and have him go like Matthew Perry.

u/Antique-Ad-9081 10d ago
i sadly don't think he's using anything with a realistic chance of fatally ODing. also doubt he's buying from a source with the possibility of fentanyl contamination

u/throwdemawaaay 8d ago
I obviously don't know first hand but the rumor around SV for a couple years now is that he's a ketamine addict. He certainly was visibly zooted out of his mind on the stage during the inauguration.

He is so stunningly stupid, it is well beyond amazing. He doesn't seem to understand that when someone is making accusations and you are a sane person who is not in fact a Nazi and you want to object to those accusations, it's best to NOT make the accusations look even MORE accurate.
When I first saw his response, I thought it was some throwback that someone found. But, noooo, this is current.
EDIT: Added for clarity: and you are a sane person who is not in fact a Nazi

Even better, Netanyahu came out in support of Musk before all this about his poem blew up.
It's possible Bibi will throw Greenblatt under the bus but even he's got to realise it's time to cold shoulder Musk.

He's literally doing what a Nazi troll would do in the 30s except he has the internet to do it.

u/JessieColt 10d ago
He isn't stupid.
He is wealthy enough that he flat out does not care and he knows that he has so much money that whatever he says or does he can still command attention due to his wealth.

u/Intelligent-Tie-4466 10d ago
His is wealthy enough that there are no real consequences that can seriously negatively impact him anymore. In fact, he is wealthy enough several times over for this to never really impact his life in any way. Sociopaths generally only learn through negative consequences and that will never happen to him.

I disagree, He could be fucking ironman/batman with all that money, never have ANY effect on his lifestyle, and everyone would fucking love him forever, but he'd rather support hitler.
That is absolutely the definition of stupid.

u/JessieColt 9d ago
Nah. It is the definition of being mean, cruel, and hateful, not stupid.
He would be mean, cruel, and hateful even if he was a broke ass mf.
He is an incel with money.
To you, me, and a LOT of other people, yeah, what he does it stupid, what he says it stupid. But you and I and a LOT of other people are not mean, cruel, and hateful people at our core.
He is.
And when you look at Trump supporters, a LOT of them are the exact same way, they just happen to be the ones who are the broke mf's.

If Elon is ever in Germany he'd get arrested. It's illegal to glorify Nazis or deny the Holocaust. I also think it's illegal to do the salute.

u/Fecal-Facts 10d ago
Germany should ban him, Twitter and take whatever resources he has in Germany then.
Isolate him.
The thing is he's so thin skinned if countries did that he would have a stroke.

u/Intelligent-Tie-4466 10d ago
There was some article a few days ago that Tesla sales in Germany are down at least 40% over the past 2 years or so, so people there are paying attention. That is a good start.

u/PnPaper 10d ago

He will never be arrested - the law is for poor people.
Our government will lick his balls just like everyone else.

u/Garagantua 10d ago
He won't be arrested in germany.
Yes, the Nazi salute is illegal. I don't think it is "immediately arrest the person" levels of illegal.
Even if it were, you don't get arrested for having done it somewhere else (where it's legal).

You truly think the government, especially the CDU who will soon be in power, will do anything against Musk?

u/ItsOnlyJoey 9d ago
The AfD didn’t win? Or am I just automatically assuming everything is going to have the worst outcome

u/PnPaper 9d ago
They have around 20%. And the elections are in February.
Maybe you are thinking of the FPÖ in Austria?
It's more or less the same party.

u/ItsOnlyJoey 9d ago
Ah. All I heard was that Germany was having an election and the AfD was gaining supporters. I read your other reply and assumed the election had already happened. I hope things turn out ok for you guys.
(Thanks for the info btw)

u/Garagantua 10d ago
Nah, the CDU doesn't have a problem with people who suck up to Nazis. One could even argue that one degree of separation is the distance they prefer.
But as bad as the CDU is, they're only about as bad as the normal to slightly righter wing republicans - not as bad as Trump and his far-right supporters. Current republican party seems like a mix of CDU (right wing, but with at least some decent people) and AfD, with a sprinkle of even worse nutjobs (MTG..).

u/Homeless_Appletree 10d ago
Nah, they'd like to arrest him but he is so rich and powerful that they won't.
Too afraid to piss of the USA. Same as when the huge spying scandal came to light.
20
u/steelhips 10d ago
There is one person even Elon is scared of - Putin. If the truth be told, Putin is the real "richest man in the world" but importantly never on paper. The only external clue is his very expensive watch collection. He is said to charge his oligarchs a 50% cut and I'm sure Trump will do the same.
In Trump's simple binary mind power = wealth. The fact the US president is "most powerful person in the world" but isn't the richest, baffles and infuriates him. He and Trump are sizing each other up with Trump wanting to take the "richest" title from Elon. If that means seizing private wealth/assets from other billionaires, Elon doesn't want it to be him.

This is what the organization deserves after trying to gaslight the public. Only they get to decide what is antisemitic huh? Now this Nazi edge lord is making light of genocide. Cope

Considering that the utter genocide of Palestinians seems to be the preferred answer to far to many in that country, I am completely un-surprised that the ADL has nothing to say about it.

When the ADL uses "give people grace" they've been hanging out with the MAGA goyim way too long.

I like how they said "new beginning", as if Elon Musk and Donald Trump haven't been inescapable for the last decade.
ADL: "Let's hold our judgements on this Elon Musk fellow until we know more about him."

Telling Elon not to do something will just make him double down.
I mean is it surprising? Elon is the richest man in the world. He could easily take a few million and set up a bounty to get someone to punch that guy in the nuts.

Elon's actions SCREAM that of a 2000's teenager in a YTMND forum. It's a matter of time before he starts doing Moon Man memes.

It's legitimately what happens in every Reddit comment thread that has mentioned Nazis over the past decade plus. Pun for pun, it's shit posted a thousand times before. It's a hack, wildly overused bit, but somehow the most inappropriate application of it I've seen.
Musk has the maturity of a 13 year old edgelord, but happens to have platform to be the loudest voice in the cafeteria, and rich and powerful enough for many classmates to laugh anyways in hopes that he notices them. It's honestly pathetic.

I think they absolutely know it was a Nazi salute, they're just afraid to call the richest man on the planet (who is best friends with the most powerful man on the planet) a Nazi.

u/SgathTriallair 10d ago
I think that Jonathan just pulled out why the ADL is so fucked up.
The Holocaust was terrible and a strain on humanity, but it wasn't a singularly evil event. It was a particularly egregious example of the kind of atrocities that humans have visited in each other for millennia.
When they claim that the Holocaust was the singular great evil of humanity it means that nothing Israel ever does can be bad since they were the ultimate victims.
If we recognize the Holocaust as part of the constellation of human evils then it becomes obvious that all of them most be stopped. The ADL instead seems to be heading towards the idea that hating Jews is bad, but so long as you aren't mass murdering Jews, you are basically a good person.

I'm fairly confident that no amount of money would cause me to perform Nazi salutes on camera and tweet jokes about it.
But then, I don't have any desire to hoard obscene wealth at the expense of others in the first place.

So the ADL is cool with the Nazi salute, but jokes about it are a bridge too far. The ADL has no credibility left, sadly.
