50 years from now Mexico City will love to ride Teslas around the place. The US will make a movie about an enchanted Tesla called 8. Mexico will make their own called Ocho. Kids all over will grow up having their dads teach them how to do a full Tesla battery replacement. Dead batterys will litter every backyard. You'll be able to just go to the local open market to buy replacement parts.

Meanwhile in the US, NASA will employ Ex X workers to build their first rocket to fly our first Astronauts. Our astronauts will be using very expensive pens, unlike the ruzzians who used to use pencils. And everyone will know this.

After the war is over Elon shoots his own head off and they make a movie about that too...many movies with different sad endings. Ruzzia would dedicated decades to making a Vladimir Godzilla movie and then the best radios there ever will be, followed by the best TV monitors and also small cute cars called Vlad Kei cars.

The US history books will tell us all how we finally beat Elon after he sunk a sub. The US public will then give the president full mandate to drop the bomb. All girls give up their pantyhose material... Somehow that's very important for wars. And chickens.

Guys! I cracked the code! Its all happening again! Look for books called His Tory. I don't know who's Tory, but the one I found was in my basement. Its a little encoded but its all happening like the book predicted!

"OMG guys look. Nazis were a specific group in Germany circa the 1940's. Elon is just a massive, authoritarian loving racist, okay? Not a Nazi. Read a dictionary."

God I wish I just came up with that joke myself instead of basing it on real arguments I've heard. 😮‍💨

"Oh yeah?! Show me his card as a member of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and prove me he was involved in the Holocaust"

"You can't, because he's not a NAZI"

If he's not from the Nazi region of Germany, he's not real Nazi, he's just a sparkling fascist. 🧐

I’ve gotten really wary of people when they start splitting hairs:

  • “Nazis were a specific group in Germany”
  • “What’s happening is Gaza isn’t a real genocide”
  • “Hebephilia is not the same as pedophilia”

Omg, just because he said he's a Nazi doesn't mean he actually is one. You need to remember he's autistic. He's on the spectrum. Are really harassing this poor man on something he can't control?!

Speaking of can't control. There are people with a condition called hemiballismus that have rapid violent outstretching of one arm. Even these people don't look as much like a Nazi as Elon did.

Who could have guessed that the rich white South African would turn out to be a white supremacist?

Still not a fan of pizzacakecomics. The ones that are supposed to be funny aren't, imho, and the political ones are way too heavy-handed for my taste.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I agree with the content, but for a comic that's on the reddit frontpage all the time it's an incredibly crude way of getting the point across.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 13 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Pizzacakecomics is on the frontpage of reddit exactly because it's heavy-handed and only mildly funny. But this is one of those "if Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil" kinda situations, so I give them proper recognition for speaking up.

i think it’s a fairly good satire of the situation… of course musk didn’t say he was a nazi, but he did give the contemporary neo-nazi salute of hitting his chest first… twice in a row, the same way….

and there’s actually an argument as to whether or not he meant it… even though it’s not ambiguous at all, and he’s had a history of promoting far-right content, the AfD, and his wealth originates in Apartheid South Africa and is obviously soak in blood….

it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

There has been no argument from Musk.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

well no he made fun of it on twitter:
“"Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He used a joke to deny being Hitler. Not the same.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

he denied it, is the important part

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He said didn't want to be referred to as Hitler.

He denied nothing.

True, but then again it's exactly what you'd expect from them these days. And even if it wasn't – this comic is so darn plump I have a hard time seeing it as satire.

Plus, the creator drawing both caracters as ugly braindead idiots makes up half the 'joke' here. If ones satirical abilities are so non-existant they need to degrade the physical appearance of their opponents (however vile their views and actions may be) in their works, maybe it's just time to give up and do something they don't completely fail at.

It's an incredibly crude lie they're telling you when they say they don't see it.

[–] Mikrochip@feddit.org 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Youre right, but that doesn't make this comic – or the others made by the same creator – any better.

He isn't a nazi. He is a fucking loser. His kids, ex wives and girlfriends all hate him. He is clearly incompetent which is why Trump has just given him an unofficial agency to throw him a bone to get him to shut up, maybe giving him a crumb every so often. The only friends he can find now are the Hitler youth and I expect they will get bored of him soon too.

I was told the real NAZIs were liberals.
