    Anyone arguing that Musk didn’t know exactly what he was doing is just another Nazi pissing in the wind and they all deserve every bit of blow back they get, pun intended.

    The only thing Musk didn’t understand is that he was branding himself and everything he touches as nothing more than Nazi scum for the rest of his miserable life.

      I firmly believe he was doing it for the lulz. It totally fits his MO, and it’ll be hard to convince me otherwise.

      However, that doesn’t mean he gets a pass. We shouldn’t have childish people in positions of power, so his actions should disqualify him from any influence in the White House.

        I think it’s exactly the opposite and there’s lots of information and multple interviews that strongly suggest that. IMO Musk is full-on Nazi scum and lives in a nearly impermeable bubble, so much so that he thinks he has toned it down to what will pass in society. It seems he read the room wrong either way.

          Could you link some extra spicy interviews? I’m very much not a fan of Musk, and I’d like some firepower other than “he’s a man child that just wants to shock everyone.”
