A lot has been said about Elon Musk and his controversial fascist salute on Trump's inauguration day. He claims that it was not a fascist or Nazi salute, as people claim.
However, there are quite legitimate reasons to feel that he is in fact lying. First of all, he was born and raised a privileged white kid in South Africa during the days of apartheid. Also, he supports the far right movement in Germany presently. Also, he urged Germany to move beyond any guilt over the past and, more recently, he tweeted - and then quickly deleted the same tweet - that dictators like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were not responsible for the millions of people killed during their rule. He took it down after receiving criticisms, including accusations of anti-Semitism.
Elon Musk has lately been crying foul about everything. If you listen to him, then obviously he did no wrong. No, that was not a Nazi salute. No, he is not anti-Semitic or a neo-Nazi. No, he is not a fascist. In fact, liberals used to love him, so what happened?
Right.
Except that his political favoritism is showing. THat includes supporting extreme rightwingers in numerous other countries.
Oh, and he failed ot see how his white skin had given him any sort of privileges growing up. This from someone who grew up white in South Africa during the apartheid days.
And, as it turns out, has some major links to leading apartheid figures with his family.
It's kind of hard not to connect the dots.
Then, let's remember this quote from Elon Musk earlier this year.
“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy."
– Elon Musk
This quote kind of sums what makes Musk so appalling and a real danger to the country.
Take a look at this video. It really kind of makes Musk's alarming behavior and apparently extremist political leanings a little clearer. We need to face this reality head on.
