Summary
Elon Musk escalated controversy over accusations that his salute at a Trump rally resembled a “Sieg heil” by posting Nazi-related jokes on X, referencing figures like Rudolf Hess and Joseph Goebbels.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) initially defended Musk, urging “a bit of grace” and “benefit of the doubt,” but later condemned his Holocaust-related jokes as offensive.
Conservative Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also defended Musk.
Critics highlighted Musk’s history of promoting far-right conspiracy theories and enabling neo-Nazi content on X, raising concerns about increasing offensive rhetoric on the platform.
“Those Nazi’s are 80% right.” Lol.
reading comprehension issues, eh? they’re not saying that Nazis are right, they’re saying the logic is right when it’s applied correctly. using the logic as a vessel for racism isn’t right, which is how the Nazi used it, but it doesn’t make the statement itself wrong. if a Nazi said that the sky is blue, would you have a hard time accepting that non-nazis can also say the sky is blue?
They literally did, but to your hypothetical, I would say the sky is blue, not “Nazis are right”, to any percentage. Saying Israel is wrong here in no way requires or justifies substantiating anything a nazi says.
I mean yeah why not? Having wrong beliefs, even really wrong beliefs, doesn’t prevent one from making a good point.
Good luck with that.
