        I feel like absent Hitler, they would not have self organized to put people in ovens. Whereas the workers would still have gone out and produced wealth (for another capitalist).

          Ugh… Hitler was just the tip of a sick society. Does this mean every German at the time was guilty? No. Were they all innocent except him? No.
          Does this still need to be debated outside of middle school? NO!

    I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don’t deal with them, they’ll deal with you…

    There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

    ZERO TOLERANCE, motherfuckers!

    For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

        I’ve known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They’re often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don’t need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.

        Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump’s taint instead.

        No.

        This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

        Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

        I can’t stand him. Interesting that’s the word you’ve used cos in Britain it’s considered ableist. Can I interest you in the word “wanker” instead? It rolls off the tongue nicely.

    These CEOs always claim they can’t do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I’d demand felon’s head for doing all this damn to my investment.

      It’s a meme stock, not an ‘investment’.

      And now Musk has parlayed it, and his various pyramid scheme-like companies into replacing as much of the US government as he can get away with with his junk.

      The US will suffer.

    Oh of course, if you fire all your public workers, you can’t have a genocide because there’s nobody to carry out your orders.

    Silly fucking me.

    I’m assuming we can look forward to all those cops and ICE agents being fired then.

      Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn’t the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can’t provide for their families…

        food that won’t make them sick.

        and the rich are most sickening indeed.

        so it’s important to balance one’s diet after dining on roast billionaire.

      I’m genuinely scared he’d do it if he could. I’m not being flippant. First the nazi salute, now this… in the space of weeks.
