No link given because it’s all over the news. If you ask for proof you’re going to have to eat my ass.
A lot of people are going to say it wasn’t intended as a Nazi salute, and to that, I say: it doesn’t matter. Was it a dog whistle? A variation of a Nazi salute from a South African neo-nazi party? Or just the vanilla salute? Such pontification is a waste of time. Fokker is a Nazi; you didn’t need to see him salute. To all the regulars here, Musk being a Nazi is just an axiom of his whole deal. I mean, it’s not called technofascism for nothing.
Exactly, that was most of why I decided to make this post. This is ultimately a distraction, intentional or not. They all say and do the vilest shit, and yes, it sucks, and yes, it does normalise outward actions of hate, amongst other terrible real-world effects, but that all pales in comparison to the power they hold and the decisions they can make to harm people.
Infighting-wise, that was a false hope, and hope is a mistake. If Trump were to fight Musk over something, it would be between something that benefits Trump and something that benefits Musk. Neither is likely to be good. Maybe we will get a bit of delay out of it, but that’d be about it.
