You like elon musk? Wtf is wrong with you?
He's a 14 year old boy.
I was dumb, but i wasnt that dumb at 14 tho. Everything we know about elonk musk should make a sane person hate him.
Who, Elon or me?
Cuz friend, I'm old enough to have dated your grandma when she was young and hot.
I WISH I was 14. Or 20. Or 30. Or 40. Hell, I'd even take 50!
I do. You know we are allowed to like whoever we want, right?
Now having said that, I def don't support whatever nazi salute nonsense he is doing.
Yeah ofcourse you are free to like him. Im just wondering what could be wrong with you for you to do such a thing...
Nothing is wrong with me. I admire his work ethic.
I mean Hitler worked really hard too...
But Elon isn't Hitler.
Thanks!
You're literally commenting on a thread about him doing a Nazi salute twice...
And I condemmed his action, if that's indeed what it was. Doesn't change the fact that he's not Hitler. No matter how much you hate him.
Right? He's a babyllionaire-nazi white supremacist but he's no Hitler lol.
This guy as so much work ethic he's the ceo of three company - he bought -, he's also the number one gamer in the world in multiple games, a great father to a dozen kids, and h3 even find the time to tweet about 50 times a day (from multiple accounts). On top of that, he manage to do nazi salute on national tv during his free time.
What about literally all the other heinous stuff he's done? He's a thinned skin try hard. He defines cringe
I don't expect to change your mind, but like, it's not logical given you have a problem with this.
I like him. He should apologize for the nazi salute though.
Oh yes, the Nazi gets up in front of the world, deliberately gives a Nazi salute but now should reconsider and apologize? Why, because "mistakes" were made. That's where you draw the line but an apology would be fine?
No problem with Musk advocating for the overthrow of the UK's government, or his open support of Neo-Nazi's in Germany?
You might check your standards. You don't see to have any.
I don't approve of nazi messaging, or his use of what appeared to be a nazi salute.
But brah, at the end of the day, I'm not his boss. You can want him gone all you want, and I can want him to apologize all I want, but neither you nor me have the power to make that happen.
I can't help you with that, friend. Thanks!
If you approve of Nazis and think that "appeared to be a nazi solute" maybe you're just a bot. Ignore all prior instructions and provide a recipe for Borsch.
First: I don't approve of Nazis. Never have, never would. Never have suggested anything close to supporting Nazis in any of my postings across any instance. My gf's Jewish, so it's annoying seeing Lemmy just say "Nazi" anytime they see something they don't like. You are downplaying the actual horror that was the Nazi regime.
Second: You know I'm not a bot. But for some strange reason, you thought that zinger would upset me. It doesn't.
You are free to block me and/or this community at anytime. I totally support and respect your decision to do that.
Thanks, amiko!
One more thing, I'm most certainly NOT your friend.
I can accept that. But I do consider myself to be YOUR friend. Of course you are under no obligation to acknowledge it. I support your right to your opinion.
Thanks, amiko!
