Modern American politics has made this country absolutely terrible, if it was ever good in the 1st place. From supporting apartheid states to funding terrorists to balkanizing entire regions over for resources/profit, to spreading all these dumbass ideas like open borders, DEI and government regulation/deregulation, this country has become absolutely ugly.

Omg the only contentious interview of Elon we have right now is him pretending to be Adrian while playing Fortnite and the dude is tearing him apart slowly is fascinating, Elon cannot handle criticism even when trying to convince us he's someone else. Remember he's trying to make out he's 20 years old also

(Is live as of posting should mention)


It's insane ppl still claim he ain't Elon, fucking insane, cannot overerstate how absurd this is

Mad respect to Connor guy seizing rare opportunity to low-key insult and mess with the the most insufferable wealthiest twat on earth though. Champ mindset

Not quite sure which is sadder. Musk making sock puppets alts to simp itself, or that there really are people other than Musk more than willing to simp that hard for Musk.

Maybe not as sad as it is low effort cover for his dumbass tech investors to continue believing he works for a living and is totes genius. The tech investment economy is way more vibes based than people assume. He knows he can't fulfill his desperate terminally online need for validation without compromising investor trust, a major source of his artificially inflated wealths. Elizabeth Holmes was just the easiest tip of the iceberg, a glass cliff even. So much of tech investment is sweet talking bullshit from CEOs who will do and say anything to keep on top of the "growth" pyramid, and they know they haven't got any ideas left yet that line has to keep going up somehow, so then we get housing bubbles, crypto bubbles, AI bubbles, any bloody shiny thing to maintain the illusion of meritocracy. including this, for lack of better phrasing, billionaire's equivalent of pulling a sickie to get off work and having to compulsively post their compulsive funsies on alt accounts instead

So it seems Musk is using Twitter to have interviews with the AFD and likely artificially prop them up to ensure his fellow fascists get into power in Europe. In this interview Musk has been promoting the idea that Hitler was secretly a socialist and that mass privatization, corporate backing and murdering every single socialist he could find was just a long left wing con for Hitler to...uh....um....actually he never quite explained how that worked.

Does it really matter?

Well duh. Hitler was the leader of National SOCIALIST German Worker's Party. He must have been a Socialist. It's in the name.

In all seriousness, one thing I've learned over the years is that the American right have zero understanding of socialism, either confusing it with communism (or to be more accurate totalitarian 'communist' regimes) or Nazism. So Musk now drinking this kool-aid does not surprise me.

With his support of Yaxley-Lennon as well, Musk is rapidly becoming another far-right whack job.

Musk isn't the town druggie(well he is but still...) so I don't think he really believes it. Musk problem is more that he's a nazi, and very comfortable with being a nazi. But he knows the public isn't nearly as comfortable with it, so he must find ways to keep the policies but divorce them from the name. So just pretend Hitler was a lefty and that all those policies of him Elon wants is just good old fashioned conservatism without any historical examples of it going wrong.

I'd go a step further and say that forces in the US right wing have put substantial effort into deliberately conflating socialism and totalitarianism (including Naziism).

I wonder if we would be in a much better situation if he had gotten in and just been able to indulge his kink.
To be honest, I think it's much more simply that he got so rich and successful that "it went to his head" and he stopped having to consider anything anyone else. He's been a billionaire for a long time, but only amongst the ultra-billionaires once Tesla took off. So we'd be looking at when the share price for that really started motoring around ten years ago, with his derangement accelerating in parallel to its growth. He's essentially a model for how dangerous and corrupting having too much power can be and how poorly many handle it.

I strongly suspect Tesla is wildly overvalued in share price to the tune of it's real, justifiable value being under a quarter of current - maybe even under a tenth. Although even if Tesla is eventually brought down to Earth, I strongly doubt that Musk will come down with it.

Oh its 100% overvalued. Its sales are down, its got an unhinged fake gamer (who just happens to be a decent salesman) as its head, and the cybertruck was a laughing stock.

You've done nothing to demonstrate how AFD are fascists. Just because you don't like them doesn't make them fascists.
