So...I had to check this story from a couple of sources, cause I was sure I was just high from paint fumes or something. But, after a week of his supporters saying he wasn't a nazi just cause he did a salute... made a surprise campaign rally appearance for the nazi-adjacent where he said nazis should move past past guilt about the old nazis. These are new and improved nazis. Holy hell y'all, this dude is IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

From @b: "Reflections from someone who was with neo- billionaire Elon when he visited Auschwitz after broadcasting and publishing antisemitic remarks & genocidal neo-Nazi propaganda on the website he purchased so that he could suppress speech that he dislikes." (I delete the link that includes replies on Musk's Fascist platform.)

There is no "debate" about Musk's Nazi salute nor is there any nuance to the hate that defines him. Ask his beautiful daughter, Vivian.

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year -- therefore his "recent" gesture is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicly. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse -- he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march -- whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed -- was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if there there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

Imagine going to a pub every day. All your friends hang out there, too. You find out the owner and everyone else there are Nazis. And you’re like “I have to hang there because I know people there.”

I have a new personal policy. Anyone I see using or supporting use of THAT social network will be blocked. Same goes for anyone buying a new Tesla.

There’s no excuse. No middle ground. You either support white supremacy and fascism or you don’t. Period.
