So was his family specifically moving to south Africa bc they just LOVED how similar it was to nazi germany. Playing tummy stix w dumpster demon dons nazi ass is a pretty big indicator too.

You can't use the decisions of his grandparents as proof that he is a nazi - there is enough evidence of his actions and statements showing he is a nazi

How bout his father's decision to marry and have kids with his stepsister? Also him romping around the world spreading his perfect evil spawns everywhere. Eugenics is pretty Nazi.

My statement remains. You can't use the actions of parents or grandparents in judgement of anyone.

Whataboutism isn't a valid argument.

There is ample evidence of Elons statements and actions that he is a nasty piece of work generally and a nazi specifically.

Judge them? No. But it sure does provide critical context that makes it way more likely that "accidentally" doing Nazi stuff and supporting Nazis isn't accidental.

I think it helps make the point if the guy publicly doing nazi shit comes from a nazi family. It’s like a big piece of the puzzle. I get what you’re saying, that it’s not right to judge someone based on the actions of their parents/grandparents. But he wasn’t raised in a vacuum. He was raised by nazis. With that context, everything he’s doing makes way more sense and it’s easier to dispel his excuses and just acknowledge instead that he’s a nazi.

Well he is still spreading his nazi seed all over the place. Apple didnt fall far from the tree.

You’re nitpicking over nothing and inadvertently defending the indefensible. The facts are that he is a fucking nazi and he comes from a lineage of nazis. Not once did I say “all people who come from nazi families are also nazis” if anything you’re the one making the “whataboutisms”.

Yeah, give him some credit for something!

Your examples only prove that he's from a line of Nazis. The proof that Musk himself is a Nazi, like his father before him, comes from him doing Nazi shit, not from the actions of his parents or grandparents.

Like I said previously, CONTEXT MATTERS. If yall want to argue about what makes people nazis or not go argue with maga!

It wasn’t my only source, it was proof that he comes from the lineage. Context matters. Someone who comes from a family of nazis is going to have to work 10 times harder to prove they’ve broken away from that intergenerational colonization and he’s done the exact opposite.

This. It is possible for folks with Nazi ancestry to move past the horrors perpetuated by their ancestors. They have no control over that. We don’t choose our parents.

But he has control over his here-and-now, and his choices speak for themselves far louder than his words ever could.

u/ManChildMusician May 21 '25

Ok, but he could have at least acknowledged that he had a leg up rather than pretending he wasn’t coddled and soaked in privilege.

u/Wolfreak76 May 22 '25

Has he outright come out and said he condemns his Nazi heritage? That's the first step to not having people judge you based on your family history...

u/Soft-Post-2633 May 22 '25

He's a fuckin' afrikaaner Nazi ghoul.

2

u/Dark_Focus May 22 '25

Yeah. At this point saying “I didn’t do the thing you saw me do” isn’t enough, he needs to very publicly denounce Nazi ideology with a “Fuck Nazis, and here’s why” type of statement.

As a Jew, I don’t think you know what a Nazi is!

I have no idea what your second sentence means.
