If it's the ADL, they don't speak for everyone and they do not speak for me.
I'm literally German descended, living in the UK with little to no shit given about Trump whatsoever at all. This is Musk. What I do have a problem with is my friends and my families having a history going back nearly 100 years of misery, death and loss from the ideological constructs he's pushing for the last few years.
You can be a statesman and show respect, honour and decorum or you can be like that. There is no place in our political landscape anywhere for this.
So quite frankly stop gaslighting.
You need to understand that despite what people believe in the US, Europe is ideologically different and has a longer memory. There are literally reminders everywhere around us every day of last time.
I'm British. My grandparents were probably bombed by yours.
I'll admit he's not one for showing decorum.
I don't see any ideological constructs pushed by Elon that are remotely similar to those pushed by the Nazi party.
So you've never read nazi propaganda, good for you.
Where do you think the 'great replacement' theory came from? Renaud Camus, unlike most far-right people, actually read books (I'm as surprised as you are, it's not in their culture), especially Charle Maurras, and reactualized the late 19th century theory, dressing up the most blatant anti-Semitism but keeping the meat.
What's interesting is that it is clear that Maurras is a way better writer than Renaud Camus, even if it's very dated. For the far-right of the 21st century, I don't expect much. The fact that they read is already impressive enough.
My grandparents were bombing each other.
So you literally missed the bit where he was going on about antisemitic conspiracy theories being "the actual truth"? Crikey. Appears no one has any context these days.
Musk has:
a) routinely demonised immigrants.
b) espoused the Great Replacement Theory.
c) endorsed a tweet saying that black people have inherently lower IQ.
d) perpetuated lies about companies prioritising diversity over safety.
There are hundreds of examples I could list. But suffice to say his ideologies have a significant overlap with the Nazi ideology. And the recent salutes should give you no delusion about what his inspiration is.
