"He is the man who destroyed the Tesla brand by aligning himself with extreme right-wing fascists and giving a fascist salute to his followers at the inauguration of the US President last January."

Please educate yourself about fascism.

National Socialism is Not Right-Wing

I read it, you seem confused. Allow me to explain simply:

He supports right wing fascists

He gave fascist salutes

He didn't give right wing fascists salutes. That's not what the text said, or what it meant.

If you really read it, then you must have poor reading comprehension. Fascists are totalitarians. Mussolini invented the term totalitarian, meaning that the government has total control over everything, and he claimed that as a positive feature. So-called "right-wing" conservatives want the exact opposite -- minimal government. The term "right wing fascist" is an oxymoron that is used to deceive and confuse the public.

Maybe it's not your reading comprehension which has suffered, just your critical thinking. What do you think project 2025 is if not a right wing fascists approach.your picking differences about whetger the fascism is a small government or big government flavour. They are both fascism and one is right wing in the modern political sense. Not so hard to understand is it?

Wrong again. Fascism is totalitarianism, which is big government by definition. You seem to have a hard time comprehending basic concepts. "Small government fascism" is a contradiction, like "honest liar."

Musk's gesture wasn't a Nazi salute. He touched his hand to his heart (the MSM edits that part out) then extended his arm as an expression of well-giving.

Here are a few leftist 'Nazi' salutes: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1929206662356754729?t=jSPZvSaK8SQGUk-1RMVQEg&s=19

You are entitled to your own opinion about Musk's salute, the fact remains that a lot of people took offence at what they perceived to be a Nazi salute. Given Musk's background, his embrace of the German Afd party, his tolerance of racism in his factories and his propensity to act without thinking of the consequences, I would venture to say that they are right. The expression on his face at the time certainly did not give the impression that he was making a gesture of well-giving.

I have in the past found your comments on energy matters very sensible but my confidence in your judgment has been rudely shaken by this post. How someone who is sceptical enough to see through the climate change hoax can succumb to the establishment MSM propaganda against Trump and Musk who are selflessly battling against globalist tyranny on behalf of the people is a mystery to me.

I'm with jaberwock, Douglas.

Trump committed treason on Jan 6, 2021, is a congenital liar, and Musk likewise has been an inveterate liar forever.

You don't have to play on the right wing team or the left wing team. You are allowed to think critically.

Another one fallen hook line and sinker for the globalist propaganda! The globalists showed their evil true colours during their Covid “plandemic”. It’s no longer about nominal right-wing vs. nominal left wing. Nowadays it’s good vs. evil, rationalist vs. dogmatist, truth vs. lies, democratic populist vs. authoritarian unaccountable globalist.

It's nothing to do with globalist agendas, it is simply an intense dislike for charlatans, hypocrites, liars and fraudsters.

The notion that Musk's gesture was a "Nazi salute" is red meat for morons. It is right up there with the claim that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation". The fact that even 1% of the population falls for this obvious nonsense is a testament to the incredible power of fake news.

What type of salute was it?

Russell A. Paielli's avatar

It wasn't a "salute" at all. It was a "my heart goes out to you" gesture. And that was obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head up their a**.

Lol, if he's so smart why does his 'my heart goes out to you' gesture look so much like a fascist salute? If you think it's so harmless, go out and do it on the street. I certainly wouldn't because people would think I'm a fascist or Nazi sympathiser.

It's a gesture that many have used, genius. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Nazism except in delusional minds. Good grief.

You say that but who is using this gesture. I've never seen it and the nearest thing to it is a fascist salute. Please provide examples of people doing this all the time in a harmless context.

Lol quoting catturd, what a solid basis for a comeback. Show us videos of these leftist nazi salutes. Also, please explain what type of salute he was doing?

With no automotive products in the pipeline, Musk has to keep doubling down on his decade-old FSD/Robotaxi narrative. Keep in mind that the Robotaxi announcement was just a knee-jerk reaction to a Reuters article about canceling the Tesla Model 2. Now June 2025 has arrived and Musk must deliver something, even if it's a ruse. Musk's only hope is that regulators shut it down before people figure out exactly what it is.

Musk looks in the mirror and sees a god. His pride has evolved beyond arrogance to incredible hubris. One of a few guarantees in life….PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL.
