    Man, who would have thought that throwing a Nazi salute, and then when people point it out, making a bunch of Nazi jokes instead of denying it would get you labeled a Nazi?

    That’s the damning part for me. If it really was a screw up, why would you not immediately say “Oops, that was not what I intended! I just got caught up in the moment and definitely was not trying to give a Nazi salute!” Like, I’d still hate the guy because he’s got a shitty ego, but I wouldn’t consider him a full-on Nazi. People make grand gestures when in front of a crowd, and let’s face it, a Nazi salute is not exactly a complicated gesture. I can see someone making that mistake when they’re just trying to be animated.

    But he didn’t deny it! He instead went on Twitter and immediately started saying shit like “I did Nazi that coming.” What the fuck did you expect would happen?

    Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.

    And that’s not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he’ll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he’s revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he’d at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. “Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they’ll thank and revere me”, I bet.

    Poor Elon. I bet he’s crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.

    Sure you are doing good things. You’re also doing bad things. They are not mutually exclusive, dumbass.

    Oh so that nazi salute was leftists & liberals simply hallucinating ? Or what about the fact that you (as in Elon) literally tried to Whitewash Hitler’s crimes ?

    Geee, I wonder why we keep calling you a Nazi ?

      Yeah, he comes from a nazi family. He knew exactly what he was doing. No need to give him the benefit of the doubt

      I engaged with one of his idiot followers who proclaimed Nazis were socialists. I suggested he run that theory by Grok if he was so certain.

          I haven’t used it much but the point was some far right Musk fanboi asserting Nazis were socialist when even Grok, ostensibly under the thumb of Musk, doesn’t pretend they are.

          That said I wouldn’t trust it as an AI and there are plenty of other free AIs to choose from if you want that kind of thing. Install ollama and you can even download and run a bunch offline.
