Elon can feel his star is waning. 

 

It has been over a week since he has created a polemic on Twitter (X). Expect many more self-created "twitter-spats" in the coming months. It is how people remain relevant and in the public eye nowadays.

 

Back in the real world, Tesla shareholders are demanding results. He needs to walk a fine line between keeping them off his back and keeping in with the MAGA cult.

 

All well and good but none of that is relevant to what's being discussed.

But what do you make of the gesture though. 

 

Opinion of him is besides the point.

He is very likely a white supremacist. Or do you want my real opinion of him?

I want your opinion on the gesture. You're smart enough to know it was the exact same thing Mike come on. 

So per the left here, when the left does it, it’s just as gesture, but when the right does it, it’s white supremacy. 

 

Just like when tend of thousands of leftists burn, assault, riot, loot and kill forbmonts, it's a peaceful protest. But when unarmed MAGAs riot for a few hours, it’s an “armed insurrection “ and “the end of democracy.”

 

The left: Ignorant, incompetent and arrogant.

One of the most pathetic deflectioms in history

 

Nice mental gymnastics.

 

Your answer is exactly why the left lost fhe election  Seems you'll neved learn. 

There is no deflection. Yours is a desperate attempt to create  an equivalency between the musk salute and Senator Booker's open fingered wave. To understand the salute/wave for each of the two, one  must consider the context in which it was done. Musk has a history of  supporting fringe right groups, while  Senator Booker does not. Musk has intimated at the bankrupt race superiority  position. Senator Booker has not.

He probably has examples of people lying about what Elon has done and claiming it makes him a Nazi.

“Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Public sector employees did.” Elon Musk on his X.

 

Musks' support of extremist right wing groups demonstrate his affinity for extremist views.

Verified pro-Nazi X accounts flourish under Elon Muskm -An NBC News review identified 150 verified "Premium" accounts that have posted or amplified pro-Nazi content.

Musk is not a tech visionary with a side interest in politics, nor is he just another bored billionaire with a nativist streak; the political activism and the technological ambitions are inseparable

I wonder how Trump feels about Elon being a Nazi on stage with him and whatnot given Trump has Jewish grandkids. 

 

The left has called every non-leftist a Nazi as far back as I can remember.

Funny how the left loved Elon, a Nazi before he bought Twitter.

Hey dems, if you want to live by Reductio ad Hitlerum, you can also die by Reductio ad Hitlerum.

I love how you lefties want to talk about "context" when it's convenient to do so. 

 

The left's motto, it's context for me, not for thee. 

This thread has just exposed the hypocrisy and double standards of the left, Democrats and how the mainstream media creates division

The media lies incited arson attacks on Teslas and tesla dealerships.

Not funny. Rather, a reflection of human weakness. Musk was promoting a concept that fit some people's belief system, of  electric vehicles and cleaner fuels. That was a popular position and he was one of the few people of prominence to embrace it. Many conservative people embraced the concept too. The expensive Teslas were certainly not accessible to lower income people.

Musk did to some  progressives what he did to Trump: he made promises and sold a delusion. The Trump and MAGA collective swallowed the promise of $1 trillion in savings, and were betrayed. That is why Secretary Bessent  tore a strip off of Musk.  Musk sells dreams.

Which extremist right-wing groups does Musk support, and how does he support them? 

He shouldn't bring this up, he risks the "news only from Fox" crowd seeing it.

 

The other day he brought up Russiagate, which worked out for Team T because AG Barr sanitized the report.  He used it to bash the NY Times when questioned by 2nd generation Fox nepo baby Peter Doocy about his drug use.  DT likes to bring it up too.  Keep at it, smart guys -- one day the bottom will drop out.
