      No we all boycott Tesla until there’s a 50% drop in sales and hope the shareholders and board force him out.

    […] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute […]

    Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn’t just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.

      And on a story about him literally supporting the racist nationalist Nazi-successor party in Germany. It’s not even like they need to remember some external context to clear up their cowardly confusion.

      South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the “future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]” and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn’t calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.

      CBS has litterally fired someone for “personal reasons” after she criticized Musk’s Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.

      This is what they always do. They’re powerless in the face of the actual problem – the richest fucker on Earth being a straight up Nazi – so instead they try to invent another set of circumstances that make the threat seemingly less threatening.

      It’s not 100% verifiable and nobody wants to get a defemation lawsuit. (And perhaps they don’t want to piss of a guy that’s “friends” with the president)

    “It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.

    Non-German, in attempt to change Germany, warns Germans of non-Germans changing Germany

      Stop buying his shitty cars. If his Tesla stock tanks the rest of his empire will crumble.

      The US won’t let Space X go under. They will nationalize it and let current management run it. But the rest of his business ventures will go under without Tesla propping them up.

        If Elon was out of the picture, I’d be fine with SpaceX. They’ve done some cool things (reusable, self landing, mass produced rockets is a pretty great achievement) and would be in a better spot if he wasn’t at the helm pushing Starship to its doom.

        To be fair, NASA would happily absorb SpaceX given the money and ability to. The Falcon series is exactly what they need and they could properly develop Starship.

          If we turned SpaceX into a worker’s co-op then I would also be fine with it, but I don’t think replacing Elon with another billionaire would help anything. I truly believe nearly every single billionaire on earth is morally bankrupt and far too detached from reality. The best case scenario for the continuation of billionaires is that live like evil dragons hoarding all their wealth while the planet burns… But far too often, billionaires use their wealth to erode democracy and to ratchet the world towards fascism.

          If we truly want to save our world then billionaires need to be abolished, capitalism needs to be converted into market socialism, and we need to make education and improving democracy our #1 priorities so that we can actually build functioning science driven governments that are willing to fight for data proven policies

        At this point I’m convinced that his obsession with X is that it’s the closest letter to the swastika. Just imagine: Space Swastika. Model Swastika. Swastika dot com. etc.

    They want Germany out of EU to fracture the block. Then, when Europe is fragmented and weak they can provide ( sell )“the solution” again.
