In a Tuesday interview with CNBC, Musk accused the mainstream media of propaganda.
"What would an example of that be?" CNBC's David Faber wondered.
"That I'm a Nazi, for example," Musk replied. "And how many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, try to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you and I was talking about space travel."
"And yet, the legacy of media promoted that as though that was a deliberate Nazi gesture, when in fact, every politician, any public speaker who's spoken for any length of the time has made the exact same gesture," he added. "And I've never harmed, I've never harmed a single person."

(19,843 posts)...although Republicans' frequent, vocal, vehement expressions of "righteous indignation" seem to point to the exact opposite.
I think it took repetition, reinforcement, and frequency, but sometime between the Nazi salute and the cheese head hat in Wisconsin, Musk seems to have understood that people just don't like him, so he's playing the "That's not FAIR" whining card.
He's "never hurt anyone." As you said, ask some of the people who lost their jobs due to "DOGE."
He's never missed a meal, thanks to daddy's blood emeralds and government grants.

(2,534 posts)He tends to twist around on the Hitler thing, saying Hitler was a communist, and not a conservative, but in the final analysis, Fascists, self declared Nazis and white supremacists all share support for the same race hating organizations that Elon supports. The Nazi thing is an Elon thing even without the salutes. He supports organizations that support racial hatred and the overthrow of their government.
When the tides turn, I hope Elon faces a direct and personal clawback of all the money he got, directly or indirectly from our government while he disrupted investigations into his dealings.
