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.
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.
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.
