Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

@Gargron CNN calls it "strange salute".
Yeah, they are all too afraid of retaliation

@Gargron i mean, i just watched hart aber fair, and there was a group of largely smart people there (and some afd bozo) trying to debate trump’s supposed plans, as divined from his impulsive and semi-coherent ramblings, and what potential good might come from them.

@Thomas @Gargron god i hate when people try to use it an as excuse. i'm autistic. i also used to be a nazi. i promise you my prior assholery had nothing to do with my being-autistic -- it was more to do with being a sheltered 12-year-old cis white male in america raised on the youtube algorithm.
god damnit please if people could stop infantilizing us, as if we are incapable of understanding anything other than PURELY rational thought.

@Thomas @Gargron a: i was a nazi because i ate up every word steven crowder ever said when i was too young to develop my own opinions
b: that was a separate point, a lotta people misunderstand autistic people as if we have no knowledge of morality or empathy, which is just fucking infuriating -- i'm autistic, not a sociopath

I am going to say this. I saw it and what I see is a deeply broken men. Something in that person broke and there is no coming back, no repair. That guy is really fucked up, unhappy, angry, completely broke and the more he pretend to be fine and happy and “successful” the more he shows how fucked up he is.
I would hate myself if I worked for that guy, if I am in a relaitionship with that guy, if I am a family member of that guy or if I’m related to that guy at all.

The big theatre around Elon Musk is to laugh. Donald Trump wants to be a great president but he ..
Elon Musk is a rich man, a super rich man. That´s the only reason why the world is talking about him. Take from every Mastodon user just 2,5 € and look a few years later how much you can earn with a few more ideas. Elon Musk is one of the single people who are having billions. Do you know what he is against fort knox?
That´s politics too when pokliticians not acting, about left or right?
