Yeah, to me, there is no benefit of the doubt. Musk supports AfD, which seems to this American about as Nazi a party is as legally allowed in Germany. He has, of course, reinstated all kinds of far right voice to his shitty little social media platform, while simultaneously banning anyone/anything he deems too woke. Then, bro pulls a full fledged Nazi salute on national TV. I don't know if it is appropriate to call Musk a Nazi: that term is so rooted in a specific era and place. I would certainly call Musk a neo-fascist, just as I would call Trump a neo-fascist, and also the entirety of his cabinet: -an EO declaring that Trump's interpretation of the law is the only valid one for anyone in the Executive Branch (https://www.jurist.org/news/2025/02/trump-signs-order-declaring-only-president-and-ag-can-interpret-us-law-for-executive-branch/ https://www.jurist.org/news/2025/02/trump-signs-order-declar...) -ex post facto vetos (by DOGE fiat) of money previously apportioned by Congress -the abandonment of Ukraine, while carving it up with Russia for land and mineral rights, and lying about the causes for the conflict. -the undermining of NATO and bolstering of Russia (https://www.ft.com/content/ac1dcb02-4c5f-4a36-935a-f7ef0a934c7b https://www.ft.com/content/ac1dcb02-4c5f-4a36-935a-f7ef0a934...) -firing of inspectors general (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/us/politics/trump-fires-inspectors-general.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yU4.iPyb.WnUNV8G3_XVc&smid=url-share https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/us/politics/trump-fires-i...) -firing of election security teams (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/business/trump-foreign-influence-election-interference.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/business/trump-foreign-in...) -vows of retribution against political opponents and weaponization of the DOJ (https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/this-is-not-restoring-the-way-the-justice-department-is-supposed-to-work/ https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/this-is-not-restoring-...) This is an terrifying consolidation of power in complete violation of the intent of the American Constitution. Welcome to neo-fascist America.
