Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.
He's totally not a Nazi tho

Yea, the fact that any CEO would take a stance like this just shines on his hypocrisy. If leadership bears no responsibility, they also shouldn’t be taking home any of a company’s profit.

Why the fuck is this fascist posting under the black flag? Does he consider himself an anarchist?
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Symbolic appropriation is the modus operandi of fascism. That’s why the swastika, a former symbol of peace, is now one of the most widely known symbols of hate on the planet.
balssh@lemm.ee 1 month ago
At this point I don’t think he considers himself anything other than entitled to put US and the world in his pocket =))
Corno@lemm.ee 1 month ago
This adds to an ever-growing list of things.
-
He created a safe space for Nazis on his platform
-
He amplified pro-Nazi content on his platform
-
He offered support for Germany’s far-right AfD party, which uses Nazi symbolism in its posters.
-
He did not one, but two Nazi salutes during Trump’s inauguration.
-
He’s endorsed established antisemetic conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.
-
After receiving backlash for the two Nazi salutes that he did at Trump’s inauguration, instead of apologizing, he posted Nazi puns.
All the gaslighting from his supporters with “you can’t read his mind” “he’s autistic” and “it was a Roman salute/my heart goes out to you” is quite frankly an insult to people’s intelligence.
loomi@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Three salutes. Two to the podium, he then turned and did 1 more to the people behind and above him.
Most video only showed the first 2

And the public (selected as partisan people) immediately cheered, without any confusion or protest.
People don’t show that enough. The public reaction is more important than the original gesture.

If he just made a mistake with the salute, surely he’d apologize and say it wasn’t intended, right? Right??

“Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.
They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.
So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.
Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?
Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.
…
Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

The holocaust had civilian participants as well. The Nazis recruited normal people to form a police force in the occupied territories, and then told them to execute these jews over there and they did
mmddmm@lemm.ee 1 month ago
to form a police force in the occupied territories
So, not civilians then.

Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

The gun is “just following orders.”
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Isn’t it kind of the opposite though? As in the gun would be analogous to the worker carrying out the order, and the shooter would be Hitler.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I get what you’re saying and you’re correct, but my comment was an attempt to point out that republicans use bullshit logical arguments to divorce cause and effect, the tool and the user. Yes, people kill people, but the gun is the tool specifically used to make it easier and faster. No, Mao didn’t personally kill millions, but he used the tool of ignorance and populism to accomplish it. It’s like if Mao said “I didn’t starve people, they starved themselves.”
Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 month ago
I have always thought you could make that point with something like a knife. It is a tool made to assist in chores. You can use the knife to feed your family or kill your family. The knife is just a knife.
But a gun is specifically designed to kill. There is literally no other purpose for the gun. You can’t use it in a kitchen. You can’t use it to carve tools. Its only use it to take life.
That’s why the guns don’t kill people mantra rings endlessly hollow to me.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That is a valid argument. However, conservatives refuse to make any connection between the tool, the wielder, and the fact that the tool is designed to make the job easier. Whether it be hammering a nail or killing people as quickly as possible. Usually followed by taking the absurd and hyperbolic argument that baseball bats or cars kill people too while ignoring that cars are specifically designed to avoid causing death and baseball bats are for sport with no intent to maximize harm like bullets or blades.

I read this as a call to action for the people Musk/Trump are ordering around. If everyone just said “no, I won’t to do what you tell me” then we might avoid the collapse of the government/economy/country.
aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You tell them no, you get replaced with a yes man. That’s been the pattern.
octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
I think the person who originally posted it may have had that intent. I don’t know anything about them. But I’m skeptical that Musk’s retweet was for the same intent. 😀
sowitzer@lemm.ee 1 month ago
This was my first reaction to him posting this. We know Leon hates a large portion of people, calling most parasites and such. He also does not think he is ever wrong and wouldn’t feel the need to defend himself by shifting blame, he would want the praise of ridding the world of people. He also fancies himself “clever” by saying things that mean something else and can then defect criticism with his great intellect and silly arguments. So this seems to be him telling people it would be ok to kill on his behalf and they need to be ready to do it. Of course he probably loves the idea of defending Nazis for funsies too.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Hitler did nothing wrong, he was just misunderstood! I was just following orders! I had no choice! I didn’t know! I’m the victim here, not those millions killed! I had the best intensions! I am just a small gear in a very large system! Yeah, but they did stuff too!
