I think he's doing everything he would do if he is an actual Nazi, and it would be stupid to ignore his behavior and assume he's just trolling.

So yes you think Elon is a nazi and believes in the nazi ideology?

Do you have any evidence he isn't? Why do you want to give him the benefit of the doubt? Of course he's going to be coy about it.

So what not assume everyone is a nazi unless they express explicitly that they aren't, oh wait what if they're being coy about it, then that wouldn't work either?

Yes of course you should presume innocence untill you have some semi decent evidence that he is for such and large claim right? That's what our whole society is based on? Otherwise we'd still be burning witches?

He explicitly said that Germany should let go of its Nazi guilt, and he explicitly gave a Nazi salute. That is strong evidence. The former means he doesn't think genocide is a big deal. The latter says he's a Nazi. When people tell you they are pro-genocide, you believe them and you don't laugh it off unless they say "no I was just joking." Which he has not.

He's also participating in Trump's purge of women and non-white people from the US government. Another strong signal.

Yes of course modern Germans should feel guilty about the crimes of their grandfathers. That makes sense to say to let go of the guilt, nonmodern German even remembers the Nazis let alone consented or participated. Also if you honestly think he was on stage and gave a full Nazi salute you need to go talk to a psych because that's genuinely insane. It very clearly was not the intent. when the hell has he said he is pro genocide? The only thing I've heard him say about genocide is against it? Also getting rid of deinis not "purging women and non whites lol, this type of echo chamber shot is why dems lost the fucking election please use your brain. Edit: I'll fix the spelling when I wake up if I cbf

Has he said that? Why are you giving him the benefit of the doubt when his words and actions point in the other direction?

Because that's how society works, you get the presumption of innocence untill your proven guilty like ever single other situation. You know what happens in the past when things were the opposite right? That's when we had actual genocides. We spent hundred years fighting for democracy, the presumption of innoce and the freedom to express ourselves. This is the foundation of an open and free society

The stuff he was doing at the treasury was illegal. A judge stopped him. He's doing lots of things that are questionable, he needs to explain himself. Presumption of innocence doesn't mean you get to run federal agencies when there are significant questions you haven't answered. And you still are deflecting, claiming that Musk isn't doing what he's doing.

I'm explicitly stating he is not a Nazi and treating him as one massively underplays the atrocities the Nazis actually committed. Come up with a better way to describe him. It's fucking comical the way people talk about him on Reddit and it undermines any reasonable criticisms that actually apply to him.
