I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.
I assume it sucks feeling consequenses for the first time in his life. I hope he feels some more consequenses.
Remember when he was investigated by the SEC for Tweeting out that he was buying back Tesla stock for $420 apiece?
And when he got booted out of the company he started because he insisted on naming it “X” despite everyone telling him that made it sound like a porn site?
And when he accused those divers of being pedophiles because they rescued stranded children before he could find a way to make it about himself?
And when just about every time he announces he’s saved government money, the number “saved” is immediately backtracked?
And how the whole reason he owns Twitter is he made on offer that he immediately tried to back out of and would have if not for the threat of a multimillion dollar suit for breach of contract?
Elon Musk does not think shit through. However smart or stupid he is, however deeply he does or doesn’t believe the Trump Administration’s fascist bullshit, he does not dedicate much time to thinking about it before he does stuff. I do not doubt for a moment that he performed and meant to perform a Nazi salute. As to what he was thinking, I cannot say. Maybe he cannot. He definitely has sympathies for anti-semitic and racist movements, but I don’t think he thought he was going to be hailed as the savior of the Aryan race for doing it. Maybe he thought it would be funny. Maybe he thought it would be “ironic.” Maybe he thought it would get “teh libz” in a tizzy. He probably didn’t think he would have to avoid ever going to Germany again under threat of being arrested. Whatever he was thinking, he probably wasn’t thinking it more than five seconds before he did it. And he’s clearly not thinking it now. Because despite being the richest man on the planet, Elon Musk is a bumblefuck who doesn’t think things through and has thus far been able to buy or otherwise ride his way out of any consequences of the things he has done without thinking about them.
Did Germany make him persona non grata or something? Or is there a standing arrest on sight order for Nazis in general
The latter.
They take neo-fascism seriously.
ELON is such a 12yo manchild, thinks like a sex-curious, addict of that age. he would be the ones asking those wierd sexual question on askreddit sub.
That diver stunt was my “this guy is stupid and I shouldn’t listen to anything he says” moment. Before that I was just skeptical. No idea how he had any credibility with a decent human being after that.
He wants to show power. Like he can do as he pleases and have anything he does not approve of removed.
Power has to be the only driver for someone who already has hundreds of billions of dollars. If I had just one billion you’d never hear from me again, ever. Literally on an island or traveling the world. Bye, Felecia!
People really, really don’t understand just how much 1 billion dollars is. Like we are hearing about Elon Musk’s net worth crashing as if he will somehow be homeless or lose everything. He won’t.
If you had a billion dollars, and you gave away 95% of it, you will still have 50 million dollars to your name, which is still more than you can possibly spend (unless you live like some ultra millionaire lifestyle and throw parties that cost a million bucks each and have a giant mansion with insane upkeep).
Ignore him, it’s the best you can do to let him disappear
We are past the point where this shithead can be ignored. He’s in too much of a powerful position for that to work
Fascism can’t be ignored, that’s how they get power. That’s how Trump became president.
Oh god it’s like a fucking mirror. Vile.
because it didn’t work.
the whole idea was to trigger the libs with a vague gesture, like that one bitch who turned it into an awkward wave, but he got a little too into it and now people are setting his cars on fire.
I think it’s more that he got a bit too excited about the way the far right can get away with absolutely anything. The media will make excuses for you, the fan base will love it, the more outrageous it is the more it makes libs cry. The democrats will impotently voice objections, the Overton window will move as required, and you will have gotten away with it. I think he wanted to be the star of that whole circus.
Vague gesture? It was a full on nazi salute.
Why are you saying this? Just call it what it is for fucks sake.
Are you afraid or something?
The above commenter is saying that Elon likely tried to be vague about what he was doing, but failed at subtlety and made an obvious Nazi salute.
You can try reading that comment again. Or maybe you replied to the wrong comment, because it doesn’t say anything remotely similar to what you are complaining about.
No. I responded to your comment about “vague gesture”.
Did you already forget what you wrote? Are you suffering from amnesia?
What’s wrong? Just own it already.
Because a nazi Sieg Heil is seen as a bad thing by 90% of the world and if he came out and admitted it was one he would probably lose a few supporters from being on his side (probably not a big amount but some)
Idk dude the world has a lot of assholes maybe more like 80% eh?
Time to introduce him to the Streisand effect
Reddit caved to facism. Another coward CEO takes it up the ass from a south African immigrant.
havnt we forgotten that reddit caved in his first term too, trumps first term the gop complained about subs and forums with “illegal acitivities” and threatened legislations, reddit took those down quick.
On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.
That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

FUCKING HOW?
Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life’s real problems.
Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.
It’s rumored to be ketamine. As in, he loves the stuff.
Asperger’s likely plays a big part here.
My friend has been on his meds for years and doesn’t act like this at all. He acted like this pre meds but he was 10, so, maybe, unmedicated?

Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.
Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.
It was a nazi salute.
Awweee poor baby… I thought he loved free speech.
He loves free speech so much he wants it all to himself.
Spez is also a cocksucker
He looks like a fucking serial killer
There’s nothing wrong with sucking cocks. There’s everything wrong with being a greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy.
Don’t forget creating and awarding a unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy for the founder and moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots!
I’m sorry, what?? You mean Spez?
u/violentacrez moderated a whole bunch of NSFW subs during the early days of Reddit, and was a notorious and infamous user. Among the subs he founded and moderated were r/jailbait and r/creepshots (which consisted of pictures of women taken without their consent).
For his services to Reddit, a custom, unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy was created and awarded to him. This is all ancient Reddit history at this point, though. u/violentacrez’s account was suspended eventually and subs like jailbait and creepshots are closed down these days.
Damn, that’s gross. Thanks for the quick Reddit history. Adding it to my many justifications for deleting my Reddit account.
Anytime.
There’s nothing wrong with sucking cock but there is no doubt with a face like that he loves the idea of chocking on a cock as he fondles the nuts.
You seem contradictory. Are you sure you’re not homophobic? Not trying to bait. No need to answer me at all. Just calling for your own self reflection.
“Greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy” would be an excellent BDSM/alt-culture nickname if greedy bootlicking pigboy Nazis hadn’t ruined everyone’s fun. Again.
I think it depends whose cock is being sucked
In this case it is musk’s
In Musk logic: it’s not bad when he does it. It’s bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.
That’s a very roundabout way to say that he doesn’t enjoy consequences.
Just like children who grow up without consequences.
Fuck his Nazi ass. Let him stew
Well this was the tiny little push I needed to make an account lol
Welcome. If you have any questions, most of us are more than willing to help :)
I joined for the same reasons. The oligarchs can’t easily censor here as they have on reddit.
Ahoy
