A right wing car maker who bought a media outlet in order to amplify antisemitic conspiracy theories is advocating for a far right German party that promises to expel a disfavored minority? You don’t say.

So, the AFD is the "crazy, right wing, we would call ourselves Nazis if it were allowed" party? I don't follow German politics closely, but seem to recall a party there that fit that definition.
When you see this kind of information, I hope everyone is calling their Senators & reminding them who Pres. Musk really is.
I just called mine & hope he pays attention coz if he doesn’t, we’re gonna primary his ass in 4 years.
Sound good @fetterman.senate.gov ?
It's profoundly disappointing to me that Musk has devolved into a Nazi-supporter, when he used to say his mission was to give hope to the world instead.
The verbiage musk uses, “the planet will know” about X losing ad revenue and “save humanity” and “save Germany” tell you how much he views himself as a messianic figure.
He’s going to be willing to do terrible things in pursuit of his own fantasies.
Americans, Germans, Italians and Brits must really love that there's a global billionaire that absolutely can buy & bend the rules to direct each of their nations to his benefit & that global citizens will never end up on the losing end of his agenda.
Oh come on, don't make out like it's just a very rare occurence in American history.
Every American industrialist, the government and the majority of the people were more than happy to to business with Nazi Germany until Japan dragged your arses kicking and screaming into WW2.
And, oh boy, AfD is invited & attending the inauguration. If ever there was any question what the intentions are of turning this country into, I'd say they're pretty much answered
I feel like this parallel highlights an important distinction. The current US far right has used disfavored minorities (immigrants, trans, and sometimes Muslims) as their proxy for Jews. But the policy targets are much broader (the left) and that's going to be their downfall.
Left: Elon Musk in 2023 on the civilizational threat of George Soros and the “woke mind virus” he supposedly supports
Right: The International Jew, published by Henry Ford in 1921 to warn Americans of the supposed civilizational threat posed by Jewish leftism
well, with our current BLOCK/IGNORE culture on social media the current ability of large amounts of people to think they can ignore all this is.......really terrifying.
Save it from immigrants Germany invited in to save the country from a collapsing economy? Germany is what it is today thanks, in part, to those who responded to its call for more workers 30-40 years ago. It's more complex than that, I know, but so are the benefits of having a "disfavored" minority.
Let's not be too clever and spell it out. Henry Ford published a vile antisemitic screed weekly in his Dearborn Michigan newspaper (often putting a copy in New cars at his dealers) and was a nazi sympathizer, to the point that Hitler had a portrait of Ford in one of his offices.
I doubt Musk's embrace will mean much publicly; MAGA is already at minimum AfD-curious, surely AfD-adjacent, and in some sectors full out pro-AfD. And over time, the first two will collapse into the third.
Wow! Elon Musk isn't even TRYING to hide his anti-semitism anymore. I wonder if he'll ever be invited back to visit Israel after this post. And for anyone that doesn't understand, Musk backing Germany's far-right AfD party is equivalent to shouting "I'm a litteral Nazi". #AfD
Not a single member of my entire extended family would purchase a Ford. Only after they'd passed, did I reluctantly agree to buy a used one in the UK, since it was the only automatic I could find. Every time I turn the key, a little vomit comes in my mouth, though.
One hesitates to be shocked at anything these numpties do, but this is really exceptional. Musk is essentially saying that only Hitler can save Germany.
A South African supporter of aparthite, who used his family's wealth from blood emeralds to buy a fledgling car company, who then bought a media outlet...
After WW2, car maker Renault was nationalized by the French government because of its collaboration with the occupation. Founder Louis Renault died awaiting trial for collaboration. He was an unpleasant person known as "the ogre of Billancourt" for the location of the main factory.
Pathetic rich boys who never worked a day in their lives ALWAYS worship dictators. That's who they think are strong. I'd like to see how many dictators come from impoverished backgrounds. They were probably poor because of obscene tax breaks for the wealthy.

Would someone like to let Elon know what Allies did to these companies?

Yesterday, President Elect Musk shut down the government, disrespecting our military, other federal workers, and retired/disabled citizens.
Elon Musk’s grandparents were literal Nazis. 👇🏿
Right?
...
Right?
A coincidence? I certainly hope so.
For the last 10 years, we’ve been saying “Trump would never *insert absurdity*, would he? That’s just him trolling.”
We know how that’s turned out so far.
If everything’s great 5 years from now and we’re not living under full fascism, I will HAPPILY eat a double serving of crow.
(A vegetarian version of it, anyway.)
Buy a Tesla, invest in Auschwitz.
congratulations, America, you did not elect hitler mark II, but you did elect the guy who made him president.
There... fixed it for ya...
and then maybe mention how Auschwitz prided itself on its efficient murder of nearly 1 million Jewish people.

Not that it makes his Nazism more palatable
