I would have a guy camped out at The Library during recruiting weekends doing the thing from The Price Is Right where you bid one dollar more than the guy before you, all weekend long.
If you had Elon money..

Wow. Did he touch you when you were a child? I’ve read a lot on Elon and interestingly, none of this ever came up. A Nazi? Come on dude.
It's forever wild to me a single red-blooded American willingly spends money with that fascist sack of shiit.
Id never have a trillion dollars, because once I got about 0.1% of the way there I'd vanish like the breeze
So...100 billion is all it would take?Id never have a trillion dollars, because once I got about 0.1% of the way there I'd vanish like the breeze
It's forever wild to me that people that in their everyday course are probably buying stuff made with more or less slave labor in China are worried about Elon Musk. It's also strange seeing the huge overlap between people claiming the guy that hadh to cover up a nazi tattoo and hates Israel is not a Nazi but the Musk is fascist because of reasons.
Critics, historians, and civil rights groups point to the following specific reasons and controversies to justify these accusations:
The 2025 Inaugural Salute Controversy
- The Gesture: At a January 2025 rally marking Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration, Musk twice performed a stiff, straight-arm, face-down salute to the crowd. [1, 2]
- The Backlash: Extreme right-wing and neo-Nazi groups publicly celebrated the gesture as a "Sieg Heil" or a "White Power" moment. [1, 2, 3]
- The Defense: Musk dismissed the criticism, making jokes on X like "Bet you did nazi that coming," while his supporters claimed it was an ancient "Roman salute" meant to celebrate the Trump administration's ambition. Critics note that the Roman salute was heavily popularized and adopted by Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. [1, 2, 3]
Endorsement of Far-Right and Neo-Nazi Linked Parties
- Alternative for Germany (AfD): Musk has actively used his platform and financial influence to back the AfD, a German far-right nationalist party heavily monitored by German security services for right-wing extremism. Some AfD members have openly used Nazi slogans, trivialized the Holocaust, and expressed anti-immigrant bigotry. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Overcoming "Nazi Guilt": During a live chat with AfD leadership on X, Musk generated global outrage by arguing that Germany needs to "move beyond" its historical Nazi guilt. Holocaust memorial chairs and historians condemned the statement as a dangerous attempt to sanitize or diminish the gravity of the Holocaust. [1, 2, 3]
Content Moderation Policies on X (formerly Twitter)
- Replatforming Extremists: After acquiring the platform, Musk rolled back safety policies under the banner of "free speech absolutism," restoring the accounts of known white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and Holocaust deniers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Pro-Nazi Material & Ad Placement: Civil rights groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Media Matters documented massive surges in antisemitic rhetoric on X, showing that corporate advertisements were being algorithmically placed alongside pro-Nazi propaganda and white supremacist content. [1, 2]
Interaction with Antisemitic and Far-Right Theories
- Great Replacement Theory: Musk has drawn sharp criticism for interacting with and boosting accounts that promote white nationalist talking points. In 2023, he drew widespread condemnation from the White House and civil rights groups for endorsing an antisemitic post that promoted the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Historical Revisionism: Musk has shared viral graphics trying to argue that the Nazi party was fundamentally left-wing or socialist. Historians heavily debunked these claims, noting that Adolf Hitler explicitly banned socialist parties, privatized industries, and actively targeted left-wing groups.
The problem with his "free speech" bonafides being that the only speech he seems to want to free, is neo-Nazi speech. He is openly against the free speech of liberals, and practices it on Twitter.
don't be too hard on yourself - I was trying to indicate 100M, which I now think might be 0.01%. I don't have just a helluva lot of experience working with a trillion of something.
Left wing, economically retarded, and bitter is no way to go through life, son.
Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire
Continued weakness in SpaceX shares could threaten Musk’s wealthwww.the-independent.com
He ain't a trillionaire anymore.
Nevermind, his entire fortune is off the backs of us, American taxpayers.
F*ck that keto/pedo pos.
Every political aprty that is against open borders in europe is classified as far right and fascist. They could actually be that way, but who knows because that's what they are going to be described as by major media regardless. But I don't think being against open borders really qualifies somebody as a nazi.
Well those are some rock solid sources that don't reference replacement theory, which also is kind of stupid because it was democrats that first started claiming changes in the population would guarantee future victories. And then they more or less opened the borders and push against voter ID. It's not exactly crazy to think those might be related, nor is taking democrats at their words evidence of being antisemitic.
They were fundamentally socialist. They were not "real socialist" in the same way that no murderous regime is ever filled with real socialist. And they are left wing by todays standards. They were right wing by the standards of the day because they were competing with communists in the same lane. They weren't opposed to communists because they were the antithesis to them. They were opposed because they were so similar.
They wanted basically total government control, even if they kept nominal private ownership. A single axis isn't particularly helpful for sorting political ideologies, but to the extent you are going to stick with todays left wing and right wing, they would align more closely with the left wing. Hell, the left is this moment running a guy that only covered up his nazi tattoo when it became a political liability. Harris had to pass up a much smarter and more capable Vice Presidential candidate because he was Jewish, and that would have cost her support.
Historians overwhelmingly agree that the Nazis were not socialist. While their official name was the "National Socialist German Workers' Party", this was a deliberate political strategy used to attract working-class voters, rather than a reflection of their actual economic policies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The core realities of their ideology and governance include:
- Suppression of the Left: The Nazi regime violently opposed Marxism and left-wing politics. Socialists, communists, and trade union leaders were among the very first groups sent to concentration camps. [1]
- Cooperation with Capitalists: Rather than nationalizing the economy, Hitler privatized state industries and formed close alliances with wealthy industrialists. Businesses retained ownership and made large profits, as long as they cooperated with the state's war machine and anti-Semitic goals. [1, 2, 3]
- The Purge of the Socialist Wing: In the early years, the Nazi party did have an anti-capitalist faction led by figures like Gregor and Otto Strasser. However, Hitler violently purged and executed these members during the Night of the Long Knives in 1934 to solidify his absolute power. [1, 2]
Got it. Not real socialist. Just so uncanny how all these not real socialists and communists keep killing millions of people when they're in charge. It's almost like when you push to give incredible amounts of control to the government, you might not like the type of people that are attracted to that. But I'm sure next time it will be utopia and not all murdery.
Sure man, you're right and allllll the historians are wrong.
If I had Elon money I would open a bunch of Learing Centers around Starkville and import some real Americans from Somalia that value our democracy instead of all these fascists. Also I would convert everything to electric battery power. Then recharge the batteries with a diesel generator behind a large wall. Because I am a delusional leftist moron
I'm giving 10:1 odds who the next like comes from.
Come on, Kentuckydawg13... Come on, Kentuckydawg13...
Not a "real" socialist? Oh, I think I get it. You mean that even though they were right wing on economics, that they were not big on individual liberty, therefore they're "socialist". Hmm, I wish there were a word for political movements that were economically conservative, but authoritarian on personal liberty. There should be a word for that. Something for *****.
While we're at it, maybe a word for people that are economically liberal, but also big on individual liberty. What, "socialist" for that too? Seems inaccurate, but you do you.
I believe you are arguing with a person who doesn't actually know jack(reacher) shiit, but just feeds bs input into an AI machine.
Nah, AI is just am easier way to respond to J85s typical disingenuous responses.
I'll leave the AI out of this one. The generous interpretation here of the facts of Elons actions and statements, is that he's just trolling. Its a coincidence that he platforms actual Nazis while silencing liberals. He was just giving a tribute to ancient Roman gestures, not a Nazi salute (his actual explanation). Yeah, a guy thats the literal first trillionaire and will be in history books for centuries, that clearly is DESPERATE to be liked, is intentionally trying to convince people that he's a Nazi.
Or, his supposed trolling that aligns with his official statements and actions as a nazi-aligned philosophy, is actually who he is.
Im gonna take Occam's Razor on that one.
If i find a pic of Churchill giving a salute, does that mean Hitler wasn't a Nazi?
I am legitimately asking. Yall are so far down the rabbit hole that I dont know if you would agree with that or not.
You should post the videos of these 4 examples and Musk's.
I don't know the story behind each, so if they are giving a salute like Musk did, it would be good to know that.
Video will provide some context.
This is the answer. Then I’d buy us a real football program.
Do you write any of your own posts, or do you have AI do all of it?
I write them all, and if i use AI i am sure to make it obvious that I just copied over AI search results.
Which historical accounts, historians, or those who've fled Socialist & Communist failed states are you reading or listening to?
It's never worked...ever.
Is our Capatilst Democratic Repuplic perfect?
No.
Does it claim to be? Also, No.
I am not and have not in any way promoted socialism or communism in this thread.
At most, I would argue for Nordic style social democracy. Capitalism clearly outperforms any other model, when properly regulated. When not properly regulated, it fails like all the rest.
Well for one thing Keenum, Selmon & Lebby would no longer be employed at Mississippi State. And we would damn sure be competitive in football.
What a 17ing double digit idiotElon Musk is no longer a trillionaire

F*ck that keto/pedo pos.
Quit using AI to prove your argument, it makes you look morer stupider.
But what we have is beating everyone. Including Nordic countries.
now if you are willing to cut all immigration down to where Nordic countries are and abide by all their rules like letting actual test scores dictate what tour career is, we can have a discussion.
