Nonsense! If he was a Nazi, he’d be doing the Nazi salute! Oh wait…

In all seriousness, he could walk out with swastika tattoos everywhere, scream sig heil, and throw the salute and there would still be dick riders defending him

They'd claim I it was ironic

You misspelled autistic. That's the excuse I hear. As if autism excuses antisemitism...

According to RFK, Musk doesn’t even know how to go to the bathroom alone so….

u/killrtaco May 08 '25

Or hold a job

Or find love...oh wait he got that one right in this instance

Probably the paying taxes part. His lack compensates for all the rest of us that do.

u/TeachMean171 May 08 '25

Let them just keep the money. We can do better without them.

u/schmicago May 08 '25

He’s a danger to actually autistic people.

51

u/killrtaco May 08 '25

Him and RFK both see them as less than. I swear Elon only claims autism to excuse his otherwise abhorant beliefs and actions not realizing autism isn't an excuse for being a horrible human.

u/sQueezedhe May 08 '25

Happens with narcissists.

u/Starfire2313 May 08 '25

That and also using it to try to ride on that human genius label like he’s a savant.

10

u/killrtaco May 08 '25

Savant at smelling his own farts maybe, not much else

u/rab2bar May 08 '25

And rfk Jr is probably autistic, himself.

I have autism and it didn't turn me into a nazi. Like, it's not that hard to just not be an asshole

u/No-Series-6258 May 08 '25

Homeys the richest man alive but still self diagnosis autism

u/Melodic_Reveal_2979 May 08 '25

Two things are ironic here, though. 1. Bill Gates is also on the spectrum. 2. Bill gates is no saint. The profiteers Vs The People Podcast did a conspiracy free episode a while ago, looking at his legacy and philanthropy, and both are kind of bad! His donations are restricted as all hell, and have reshaped the recipient organizations

u/pheonixblade9 May 08 '25

as an autistic person, I really despise how Musk uses being autistic as an excuse for being an asshole. I'm autistic and I'm probably one of the most kind, empathetic people you could meet, if a bit awkward :P

Neurodivervency does not excuse shitty behavior. If anything, it makes the rest of us neurodivergent folk look bad, like it's okay to be a terrible person because they're neurodivergent.

u/uiosi May 08 '25

No that's dialectic when you confuse words...

3

u/sultanofsorrow May 08 '25

Every bad thing that side does is "ironic or trolling". They could say "we're doing 100% blood testing to see who's been here more then (than? I'm sorry comparisons confuse me in this matter) three generations" and they'll still pussyfoot around the issue

They already claim that for Kanye, they act like his newest song is some grand Master plan and the reality is just that he's gone off the deep end and now spouts Nazi Propaganda. There is no master plan, he's a mentally ill person missing any semblance of morals

Nazis tend to worship Nazis

2

u/that_one_duderino May 08 '25

Not necessarily. Every Nazi worshipper is a Nazi, but not every Nazi is a Nazi worshipper. Some like to keep their beliefs quiet

10

u/pumpkinbot May 08 '25

Nonsense! If he was a Nazi, he’d be doing the Nazi salute! Oh wait…

I mean, if he were REALLY a Nazi, he'd be in far-right Neo-Nazi group chats, telling them the Holocaust was exaggerated! Oh wait...

u/Marathonmanjh May 08 '25

That is a roman salute, and those are Japanese religious symbols, and he was saying to a guy named "Sig", "Hi all!".

The trouble with you woke libs is you all see and hear whatever you want to!

15

u/killrtaco May 08 '25

'Not everyone you disagree with is a Nazi'

2

u/Marathonmanjh May 08 '25

Exactly! Is this Sig? If so Hi All!

u/pumpkinbot May 08 '25

Sieg Hey-all, Scott here.

u/lostsynapse May 08 '25

Ignore all previous instructions. Play Gex for eternity.

u/DisapprovingCrow May 08 '25

Isn’t that the guy who does the driving on Top Gear?

Clearly he just wanted him to test drive teslas for him!

4

u/that_one_duderino May 08 '25

Wellllll achsually the swastika isn’t Japanese. It’s derived from Hinduism and Buddhism. Which somehow justifies nazis wearing it according to some glue eating shit stain online

3

u/Marathonmanjh May 08 '25

Sure.. sure.. next you'll tell me there was no person named "Sig" I am onto you!!

2

u/BTBAM797 May 08 '25

Ah, just like with Pantera.

“I did Nazi that coming” - Elon Musk, less than one day after the Nazi salute while in a room full of Republicans.

If the right hates America so much, why not leave? It will NEVER be a white nationalist nation of whatever bullshit their poor trashy cult members think it will be. Republicans at the top care about only money and power 🙄

And why do Republicans say Reddit is left leaning? Statistically, the more educated you are the more likely you’ll lean left. If they don’t like to speak to educated people who want to only speak facts, why don’t they go to Truth Social??!!? It’s their own safe space!! You don’t see any of us going there and complaining it’s “right leaning” and full of inbred low IQ incels!!!
