"SNIP............

Elon Musk responded to the outrage over a one-armed gesture he gave during a speech celebrating the inauguration of Donald Trump, the BBC reports.

Said Musk: “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”

...........SNIP"

Applegrove: is this the place for Musk bs?

1. Yes, how dare they watch him and report on it.

2. Sociopaths usually deflect and blame others for their crimes and wrong doing.

Belittle and discount witness as well.

3. No misunderstanding this

Yeah….especially as Trump and Musk are openly supporting the AfD neoNazi party in Germany….there is no misinterpreting this: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1343070623536393

5. "Everyone is Hitler."

You said it, Musk. We didn't.

A "Seig heil" might be appropriate, somehow, for that comment---but I'm not giving you one.

7. Or pick

Mussolini, he was a dictator too. Musk too high on Ketamine. South African Apartheid POS.

8. Looks identical to Hitler doing the salute.

9. He did this for 2 reasons IMHO

1. He's a racist idiot.

2. He is trying to recover from the H1B Visa fiasco and attacks from upstanding citizens Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon. 😂

11. Plus expand the sympathetic and highly impressionable youth vote

Musk knows if he can win over the junior + senior high school youth vote, and the frat-boy college youth vote he will have a stronger grip over the electorate to win future elections.

This is why Musk wanted control over Twitter and now seeks controlled over TikTok. If his communications systems and social media enterprises can propagandize hyper macho Nazi brainwashing to the succeeding generations of the youth vote he can inevitably guarantee a Fascist youth voting block for the RepubliCAN'T Party election after election.

Musk's goal is to make the Democratic vote irrelevant. Engrandizing Fascism as the new avant-garde popular fashion and only viable working model for goverance - will help reach those ambitions and goals. Winning over and maintaining a death grip on the 18 to 35 youth vote and pickling their brains in the brine of FASCISM will be the vehicular motif that delivers us to the final destination of a permanent NAZI STATE, while American Democracy jackbootedly stomped into oblivion.

10. Not his first public display of his Nazism

?im=FeatureCrop,algorithm=dnn,width=773,height=435

The font this hat was stiched in is very specific, fonts are very unique. This font is probably Fraktu, same font the cover of Mein Kampf was originally printed in. It's a font that's been co-opted by modern Nazis and is not used most places because of that. Just a coincidence though I am sure.

And it's probably a little more complicated than that, modern Nazis are using not just Fraktu, but slight variations of it that this could be. Either way, his clear Nazi salutes are not his first questionable nods to Hitler. And he's repeated some propaganda right out of Nazi Germany too, "poisoning the blood of our people."
