Yeah Nazis were against social welfare, but calling him a nazi because of that is a stretch. supporting afd does not make him a nazi, nor is afd a nazi party.

Yeah Nazis were against social welfare, but calling him a nazi because of that is a stretch. supporting afd does not make him a nazi, nor is afd a nazi party. Elon supports Netanyahu and Israel, a jewish state. Elon is not a socialist, nor a nationalist. Elon is more free speech (not perfect) while Nazis are big on censorship. He is opposite to Nazi idealogy in most cases, specially the most important parts

Elon is only a fan of free speech for certain topics and certainly not for anyone critical of himself. https://observer.com/2022/12/elon-musk-suspend-twitter-account-list/ https://observer.com/2022/12/elon-musk-suspend-twitter-accou...

  Political accounts Ye (formerly Kanye West) (@kanyewest), rapper Yup, Elon is truly a nazi. I did say it's not perfect. but out of all mainstream social media platforms, twitter is the least censored

    It is the most censored. It's also the only social media site where the owner personally bans and suppresses people and and posts he doesn't like. We also know that since the Elon take over, compliance with government takedowns has sharply increased.

      Every major social media is complying with government takedowns. None of them are operating illegally. Saying twitter is the most censored is completely delusional. "Controversial" (e.g alex jones, nick fuentes) people can't even make an account on other social media sites

        > Saying twitter is the most censored is completely delusional It's simply the facts. Elon allows people like Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones on the site because they share a political agenda. Twitter is the only social media site where e.g. links to competitor platforms are suppressed while the owner of the site artificially boosts his own posts above those that are more popular. Twitter is the most cutting edge censorship platform.

        What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites. Links to competitor platforms being suppressed lol. Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs. Who cares about linking to competitor platforms?

        > What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites They don't agree on everything, but it's simply wrong to state they are on opposite sides. They're both far right public figures and extreme Trump supporters that later became critics of the administration. I wouldn't label Elon as a Nazi, but he thinks racism is based just like Fuentes and is generally supportive of Nazi talking points which he is wont to retweet. > Links to competitor platforms being suppressed lol That's literally systematic censorship. The fact that you so flippantly dismiss it says a lot about your intellectual honesty on the topic. > Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs Totally false.

        Elon is not far right by any metric. Nick is. Nick isn't an extreme trump supporter, he even advocated for not voting for him in 2024. Elon thinks racism is based? Same Elon that wants millions of indians with H1-B visas? Is that the far right view? > is generally supportive of Nazi talking points which he is wont to retweet. Like what? > That's literally systematic censorship. The fact that you so flippantly dismiss it says a lot about your intellectual honesty on the topic. Censoring competitor platforms is the least of my concerns when it comes to censorship. I am much more concerned about opposing views being silenced.
