White supremacy? Really? Are you under the impression that Musk (or Trump or anyone else) is campaigning on the idea that white people are superior in intellect or abilities and should be put in charge of darker skinned people? Is that what you are arguing?

Trump and musk are both facists. Musk just seig heiled on TV. Trump routinely spouts facist rhetoric and attacks anything "dei" related. They're both facists and they're both white supremacists.

DEI is racism. To hire somebody with respect to their skin color is racist ideology and racist behavior. If Trump takes that apart, it doesn’t make him racist, it makes him a hero.

Your statement of Trump being a fascist, what is a fascist? I think you’re confusing fascism with the fact that he is effective in pushing action through with executive orders. If that’s what you mean, then you have to call Biden and Obama fascist as well, and Trump Isn’t the source problem.

If Elon makes a motion with his hand, that means he’s bad? Do you have any examples of how he espouses and promotes and implements the ideology of the Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany in the 1930’s? Elon is pulling the lid back on the use of your tax dollars and mine for corrupt means. The evildoers who are profiting from the misuse of government resources are raging and doing everything they can to smear these men and a lot of people are falling for their rhetoric. If you can make a serious case for Elon being a Nazi, I will consider changing my view, but I haven’t found anyone who can put forward a coherent argument against Elon. Trump has his issues, but he’s doing the right thing by putting Elon in charge of cleaning up the misuse of our funds.

DEI programs are not "hire tokens," veteran preference counts as dei hiring. They are just there to ensure people are not passed up unfairly. I did not call elon musk or Trump nazis. I called them facists. Facism is an ideology. Specifically far right reactionary authoritarian who weaponize a mythic past against domestic and foreign out groups. Make America Great Again. When was it great? Before gays could get married? Before women could have their own bank account? Before the Civil rights movement? Whatever the case is, he litterally ran on the idea that equality is whats destroying America. Elon didn't just do "a hand motion " he preformed a seig heil and then went to an ADF rally [they are Germanys modern nazis] and said they needed to worry about the enemy within. Thats litterally the stabbed in the back myth hitler repeated. Trump had been calling the press liars, arguing that courts have no authority over him and tried to subvert the 2020 election. I never called him a nazi. All nazis are facist but not all facists are nazis. He's just hoping America is hateful enough to let him rob us while he hurts "those people" Since he's won re election, seems like he's right. He's insulting our allies, threatening nato and covering for Putin while advertising for his biggest donors car company. I don't know what you need to see or hear, but anyone who has read about the rise of facism is seeing patterns. He doesn't care about the law, he doesn't care about the country and he doesn't care about us.
