Summary

Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it ā€œoutrageousā€ and blaming media propaganda.

Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.

His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas ā€œswasticars.ā€

Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.

    Let’s look on the bright side. He is still reluctant to publicly acknowledge it, which means that even he knows it is a shameful thing to be. I would be more afraid if he said ā€œHell yeah, I am, what are you gonna do about it? Do you own a President like I do?ā€

      I mean I guess this might be conspiracy territory (although at this point I feel he’s pretty much completely admitted as much through his whole ā€œI am become memeā€ cringe persona) but I feel like it’s pretty clear he knew exactly what he was doing at the inauguration and just did it as a ā€œlol watch what edgy thing I’m gonna do… and they won’t do a thing about itā€ and he was 8 billion percent right. Nobody did a damn thing.

        Don’t say that on Lemmy. You’ll get a bunch of defensive milquetoast liberals demanding to hear know what YOU’VE done before you’re allowed to speak on the issue.
