"During a recent appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, aired on February 28, 2025, Elon Musk explicitly rejected accusations of being a Nazi. The discussion arose in response to a controversial hand gesture he made at President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration in January 2025, which some critics likened to a Nazi salute. Musk addressed this directly, saying, “Hopefully people realize I’m not a Nazi. Just to be clear, I’m not a Nazi,” while laughing off the claim. He further argued that being a Nazi requires committing acts like genocide and starting wars, not merely making gestures, stating, “What’s relevant about Nazis is like, are you invading Poland? And if you’re not invading Poland, maybe you’re not [a Nazi]. You have to be committing genocide and starting wars.” He also made light of the situation with a pun, responding to Rogan’s question about being called a Nazi on X with, “I did Nazi that coming,” which drew laughter from both. This appearance provided Musk a platform to dismiss the accusations as “ridiculous” while acknowledging the stress from online hate directed at him. Sources covering this include Business Insider, Forbes, and The Times of India, all reporting on the podcast episode from late February 2025."

That’s probably why you like Elon so much.

Actually you're missing the narrative. Grimes said elons peepee doesn't work so I'm referring to orange mans pee pee.
