Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.
Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”
Musk later thanked Netanyahu.
Mussolini supports Hitler.
This is essentially: “As a black man, those white hooded robes and burning cross definitely aren’t racist imagery!”
He is a nazi without a foreskin.
Someone lost his job with that joke. Is that you Guillaume?
Démasqué
Israel is full of fascists, so no surprise they’re carrying water for a Nazi.
Oh a member of the Likud party is good with Nazis. That tracks.
We shouldn’t have killed the fucking gorilla, man.
Not everyone waved their dick in salute to our Gorilla friend.
So he can’t watch a video? How the hell is a jew a nazi collaborator?
Unfortunately it’s far from the first time

Insane
Nazi defends nazi
So… nazi salute in now welcome in israel?
🤨
Billionaires are always welcome, I guess Elon could shit in his mouth and he’d say “Thank you may I please have another?”
Shit’s getting reaaally absurd.
The simulation has gone off the rails, might need to reboot the server soon
Someone loaded the nazi mod for funsies, but it turned out to be a virus.
We have roughly a vigintillion years before the reboot
That’s so messed up but I also can’t blame anyone who took the deal to escape Germany
Clown world
Oligarchs are all in the same big mentally-ill sociopath club. They know they’re the devil and they revel in being evil. They only care about wealth and power, and their only common goal is keeping the proles fighting each other, instead of dragging them into the street and making them pay for their crimes; for the irrevocable damage they’ve done to all of us, and our societies.
I’m not convinced most of them actually believe any of the horseshit they spout. Their words are just a means to achieving their goals.
Oh I know they’re all amoral hypocrites. I was more referring to the fact that they can spout such blatant hypocritical nonsense and the rest of the world just goes along with it.
Ah, the “better to reign in hell” type
That’s telling us pretty much all we needed to know about the whole Gaza situation, if anyone still had doubts about it. Far right extremists, Nazis, fascists, whatever you want to call them.
Oh wow, fascist 1 defends fascist 2 and says that they’re not fascists… who woulda thunk it?
What does the word fascist mean according to you?
A fascist is someone who believes in a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
Lets see, nation over individual? Yup, very much so
Centralized autocratic government? Yup, see DOGE.
Dictatorial leader? Given that trump openly admires dictators and that musk supports him, also yup.And the economic regimentation has been going on for a while now. (the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and have far less power)
The denial of the existence of trans people already means a social regimentation. So that’s another check mark.The suppression of opposition: See what’s happening in Texas by their team members of the republican party, where they’re trying to oust the Democratic party from major political roles in committees and such.
I’d say, it’s valid to call these people fascist.
Especially Nazi Saluting Musk, who supports openly fascist, former leader of Reform UK, Tommy Robinson in the UK, the very fascist AfD in Germany (so extremely far on the right, that even far right-wing French politician Marine Le Pen distanced herself from them)
Well, I appreciate you took the time I guess but this is an incredibly silly list of arguments. Just to pick a few of the more impressively nonsensical:
Centralized autocratic government? Yup, see DOGE.
What on Earth? Because you have a conspiracy about DOGE it means there’s now an autocratic government? Wtf?
Dictatorial leader? Given that trump openly admires dictators and that musk supports him, also yup.
“He admires dictators so is a dictator!” That’s mind bogglingly dumb. And last time we called trump a fascist, guess what, there were free and fair midterms and a Presidential election. When those don’t happen, we can talk. Otherwise this is about the stupidest argument I can imagine.
And the economic regimentation has been going on for a while now. (the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and have far less power)
Dafuq? Like, the same gap that’s been increasing across the world is now actually a sign trump is a fascist? That’s the “thanks Obama” of fascism declarations.
The suppression of opposition: See what’s happening in Texas by their team members of the republican party, where they’re trying to oust the Democratic party from major political roles in committees and such.
They won’t have us in committees in Texas, clearly the Democratic party is now suppressed and non viable.
I’d say, it’s valid to call these people fascist.
That’s an incredibly facile position.
Dont forget the obsession with masculinity
And their desire for traditional gender roles.
And where the distinction between business and government gets very vague. Musk standing next to Trump on the podium is a clear sign how far conflict ot interest has been launched out the window.
fascist also see compassion as weakness
After getting a thorough definition, i gotta ask, what’s it mean to you…?
I mean, I’d quibble with parts of the definitions but it seems wild that folks are using that definition and then pretending it applies to trump or Netenyahu.

Well, time for everyone to put support for Israel in their bio and start sieg heiling around Jerusalem, see how long it takes before double standards are applied…
Just FYI: Netanyahu’s parents emigrated to Israel in the 1920s because they were as fervently Zionist as you can get. They even changed their name from something Polish to Netanyahu since that’s a blatantly Semitic name.
In short- not only did he and his family not suffer from the Holocaust, they benefited from it because it furthered their own goals.
So this should not be in any way surprising even if the genocide of Palestinians had not started under his watch.
