    For the Americans that don’t know the word Nazism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism?wprov=sfla1

    Although he has right-wing ideologies, there is no evidence of Elon Musk being a Nazi. A car can’t be a Nazi either…

    I’m tired of all of the populism and strong headlines on Lemmy. Actual factual journalism gets burried deep in the feed.

      I guess you could say the same about Hitler, since he didn’t personally kill any jews. If killing jews isn’t a requirement then there is definetly evidence that musk is a neo-nazi

        Seriously?

        This is exactly what this polarizing title intended to do. Attract people like you who relativise the atrocities Hitler has done. Populism is a bitch and you’re falling right for it.

        Just give me an informative article with normal title and stop filling Lemmy with all of this clickbaity populistic shit that helps nobody. I’m tired of it and tired of discussing it too.

          Relatively speaking, Hitler was one of the worst people to ever live! And the richest man alive today idolizes him.

          Imagine if Mansa Musa and Hitler teamed up! The world needs to not experience that!

      No evidence, except for that the entire first paragraph of that page describes his exact behavior. No need to be a bootlicker

      History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Musk isn’t a member of the Nazi party. He does hold a lot of important views in common with them, however. He also associates with people who fit most of the rest.

      What percentage do you think is needed before calling someone a Nazi?

          I would personally add a small amount of slack for bad taste satire (we were all young idiots at some point), but basically agree. Any signs of the other points, and that slack is gone, however.

          I was mostly curious if the OP was acting in bad faith, or a useful idiot that could be reasoned with.
