Jacob T. Levy: The richest man in the world with the biggest megaphone in the world is just asking questions about why people don't like neo-Nazis. And he's turned his website into one where thousands of people reply to him that the AfD is totes cool and so is he.

Apartheid Clyde, just asking questions

Henry Ford had the Dearborn Independent, Elon Musk has Twitter Plus ca change

Although some people use astounding wealth to make the world a better place, too many others have found it provides a megaphone that Hitler only dreamed was possible. Tax the rich. The world will thank you.

And Lindsay Graham called D-Day a failure?

For his side, sure. 🤨

Fascist wonders why fascist political party is hated, given how they seem perfectly aligned with that fascist's world view. This is why Musk must be stripped of all US Gov business contracts. Nationalize Space-X for all I care. Musk violates the social contract every day. Lost his rights.

Yeah people really need to stop using Twitter.

Agreed which is why today is my first day on bluesky.

welcome! it's a more wholesome flavor of annoying here

Thank you! I’m ready for some new flavors.

Welcome! It's a whole lot more comfortable. We have blankets and comfy couches and we talk shit about Nazis.

I found my people.

Ah yes, the ‘just asking questions’ guy.

he missed that he is a nazi ?

He clearly knows nothing about Germany or AfD. I lived their 9 years and saw their posters.

No, he absolutely knows. He's being deliberately obtuse. He admits to reading up on the issue, the policies, to seeing the criticism. He's just pretending to be confused because it allows him to praise AfD with a bit of plausible deniability.

I do not see a world in which Musk goes out of his way to equivocate "maybe I missing something" unless it was for plausible deniability, and if he knows he needs plausible deniability he understands.

THIS

While I agree he definitely knows, I don't see any reason to take him at his word that he's read up on the issues or their policies. He may have seen someone tweet about it, but Musk doesn't strike me as someone who goes out of his way to inform himself before commenting on something. Or anything.

Nailed it!

…but everyone should approve his TSLA pay package, asap!

He is missing something for sure. The AfD has been ruled “assuredly [right-wing] extremist” by a German court.

what a disingenuous a-hole. The real question is, why is he carrying water for self-described Nazis and pitching/dumbing it down for X users. Could it be that's what RW elites bought the site to have him do?

What is AfD?

Neo nazis

Neo Nazis who are trying to distance themselves from one of their guys saying that the SS were not all that bad. 🙄

Translates to “Alternative for Germany” and is a far-right political party. They’re not Nazis, though.

They absolutely are fascists.

On German TV news today, the Conservative leader in the European Parliament referred to the AfD as "fascists and neo-Nazis". Yes, the AfD is indistinguishable from U.S. Republicans. No, the respectable classes in the U.S. do not have the will to acknowledge or stop fascism. It's not just Trump.

Counterpoint: Yes they are. www.cnn.com/2024/05/26/e...

Analysis: Germany’s AfD party has gone too far, even for Europe’s far-right coalition | CNNwww.cnn.com Maximilian Krah, a right-wing German lawmaker, made comments seen as so explosively outside the mainstream of acceptable political discourse, that his party was disowned by other far-right leaders, br...

For a party who aren't Nazis they seem to have a surprisingly large amount of Nazis in their membership and their leadership seems to spend a surprising amount of time talking to Nazis www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

I couldn’t fit the “Ban on Circumcision” screenshot

It's a cult and a digital sundown town.

I think he wants a Trump controlled DOJ.

“Maybe I’m missing something” says the dumbfuck who made inferno cars and trash can trucks. Yeah, maybe.

"Maybe I'm missing something" is an absolutely hilarious line to say when he admits he would vote for them.

Maybe he’s missing something.

Answering one of germanys worst (but most influencial) covid denier

Elon stroking his chin and ignoring any reporting from sources that give him a sad: www.cnn.com/2024/05/26/e...

No you're not missing something Musktwat, you're missing morals, ethics, compassion, empathy, intelligence, foresight, hindsight, and every other trait required for humans to peacefully coexist regardless of where they are from. You're not missing an arsehole tho, in that you're over endowed.

A soul, he's missing a soul.

What else do you expect from a south african nepo baby?

This is almost entirely text. Was it really that difficult to add alt text so people with vision impairment could understand too?

I mean, isn't saying "Everything for Germany" just being patriotic? How could someone think that it's problematic that the AfD has leadership that say that? (NB--"Everything for Germany" was the slogan on SA knives, and thus is heavily associated with Nazism. Context matters...)

Jesus wept

I think I've found what he's missing

German politicians fall over themselves to kiss the ass of this fascist. German politicians like money more than anything else.

It is amazing how the guy is such a cartoon villain, this, the whole 'I need you to let X% of your employees go' 'sorry boss if we do that we will not reach our goals' 'then you are all fired' stuff. The buying of twitter, like a cartoon character buying a hotel because he couldn't get a room.

"Maybe I'm missing something" Yeah maybe judgement, empathy and basic humanity

His grandfather taught him well
