The guidelines are to assume good faith. My comments are wide open for you to peruse: nowhere and never have I "sea lioned" or been dishonest.
"Musk advocates policies, attitudes, and behaviors indistinguishable from those associated with 20th-century fascism."
I apparently do not have access to the same data sources as those who claim that Musk is at best Nazi-adjacent or Nazi-sympathetic.
Has he ever casually thrown around terms like “Lügenpresse” when talking about the media or described certain ideas or people as “degenerate” in a way that feels a little too historical? Has he talked about how “not everything the Nazis did was bad” or suggested that history might have been unfairly written by the victors? Maybe he hasn’t outright denied the Holocaust, but he’s hinted that the numbers seem questionable or that there’s more to the story than what’s commonly taught. Has he praised the “efficiency” of Nazi Germany, talked about how it was more “orderly” than today’s chaotic world, or suggested that political correctness has made it impossible to discuss certain “truths” about who really holds power? When race comes up, does he lean into the idea that societies just work better when people “stick to their own kind”? Does he complain about “globalists” or “international bankers” in a way that sounds eerily familiar, but insists it’s just about economics? And if you challenge him, does he actually reject any of this, or does he just get defensive, insisting the real issue is people being too quick to throw around words like "Nazi"?
Because, if so, then yes, he's a Nazi. Has he done this? If not, maybe we should reserve the term for people who do.
Nazis claim that the Holocaust did not happen or if it did it was justified. Is that what Musk did here? It's a reprehensible thing to say, that the Holocaust was perpetrated by "public sector workers", but...
> Yes. Musk has been making excuses for Hitler
... whatever it was, is not compatible with National Socialism. But you already knew that.
