It's so funny to see people desperately trying to 'cancel' anyone who doesn't immediately agree with their exact opinions. The relentless implications that if you dare to ask a question or be unwilling to simply immediately agree with the 'right thinkers' then you're an evil Nazi because that's everyone who disagrees with me!!!
It must get tiring being constantly morally superior and right about opinion.
I did check this chap out and he sounds pretty bad with his views on the Holocaust etc., if that's all accurate - I say if, because I didn't bother fact checking since I couldn't find any links between him and Musk. Again, happy to look if there are some links where Musk agrees with such awful comments.
If you want to engage with this here instead:
Musk gave his support to AfD. That guy is a high up in AfD. AfD is full of guys like him and has strong nazi ties, it's well documented. Musk wants them in power. There's your link. Honestly it's starting to feel like you're being willfully ignorant at this point and ignoring the large amount of stuff people are giving you. Surely you see enough smoke to do a bit of a deeper dive? This isn't just pearl clutching as you called it. Musk knows their views.
Ignore the salute thing if you want, but think about these links at least. Personally it's a bit annoying that everyone jumped on the salute when it happened, like it was some lightbulb "oh he must be a nazi then!" moment. The evidence for that was there way before that. Who he endorses and empowers is a much better indicator of his allegiances that any salute he does. If you want a bunch of nazis in power, you're a nazi in my eyes.
If I'm wanting to be super accurate I'd call him a nazi empathaser or nazi empowerer, but why bother splitting hairs. He's fine with nazis being in power and uses his status to push that forward. Whether he's doing it because he's anti immigration, racist, or just loves money and power is besides the point.
"Previous to his official endorsement, there have been several other incidences of Musk interacting with users on X specifically promoting AfD since at least late 2023, including high-ranking party members.[89] Notably, in April 2024, chair of local AfD Thuringia, Björn Höcke, was facing trial for using slogans historically in use by Nazi Germany's Sturmabteilung, which is punishable by law in Germany. A post by him on X about the situation was commented on by Musk, to which Höcke responded by further defending his use of the slogans.[169] Höcke's original tweet received over 1,000 responses, which observers noted was considerably boosted by Musk's engagement. It was also noted that it was very unusual for Höcke to be tweeting in English instead of German, as well as it being unlikely that Musk would have noticed Höcke's tweets organically.[170] A few weeks after this incident, as a response to a tweet about the European Parliament elections in 2024, Musk voiced doubts about the classification of AfD as a far-right political party, stating the policies he has heard about "don't sound extremist".[171] "
