          There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi’d is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.

          No we really don’t. Luigi was an idiot. He shot a subsidiary CEO worth some $40 million - Brian Thompson was closer to working class wealth than to Elon’s wealth. Did nothing to fight the real enemy, who have quite simply continued unabated and even accelerated their efforts to control everything since.

      Come on, stop with that. It’s not because he’s made an “”““odd gesture””“”, repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he’s a nazi.
      You have no proof of that.

      Does my impersonation of a muskolini apologist sound brain dead genuine enough?

        Muskolini is actually a good one. I cringed my entire ass right off every time I saw some lib refer to him as “Elongated Muskrat.” I’ve had better sharts than that insult name.

    Why is Elon even regularly talking in Germany? I don’t understand. Is this the most efficient use of his time now that his time is funded by our tax payer dollars(arguably he was before too but beside the point)? Doesn’t seem very efficient Elon. I don’t remember you asking the people if you should be doing that.

    Fuck I hate reality.

        Ah, well, time to buy another politician. (Edit: /s for clarity)

        Whatever the Germans are doing, I hope they double down.

    […] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute […]

    Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn’t just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.

      This is what they always do. They’re powerless in the face of the actual problem – the richest fucker on Earth being a straight up Nazi – so instead they try to invent another set of circumstances that make the threat seemingly less threatening.

      And on a story about him literally supporting the racist nationalist Nazi-successor party in Germany. It’s not even like they need to remember some external context to clear up their cowardly confusion.

      It’s not 100% verifiable and nobody wants to get a defemation lawsuit. (And perhaps they don’t want to piss of a guy that’s “friends” with the president)

        So according to your justification, then nothing is an ever 100% verifiable. Can we even be certain that anything actually happened… man, like are really alive bro?

        Because what everyone saw on video was Elon Misk give a sieg heil twice at a political event. There is nothing else that was or could be - what you said is just nonsense.

      CBS has litterally fired someone for “personal reasons” after she criticized Musk’s Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.

      South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the “future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]” and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn’t calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.

      To be fair, most of Germany’s current crop of Nazis are more like the grandchildren or great grandchildren of the original Nazis. The AfD isn’t actually that popular with the older generations. They’ve got the strongest support from Gen X. Grannys against the Right (Omas gegen Rechts) is probably the largest antifascist movement currently active in Germany.
