unfortunately even hackernews is no longer immune to odious political commentary these days

…have you seen his ideas? I think it’s fair to dismiss him based on his ideas on race

The guy literally tweets and retweets neo-nazis and white nationalist content on a regular basis. He celebrates an election win with a literal nazi salute. He openly supports fascist parties and politicians. Being aghast at someone calling him a nazi is ridiculous.

His brain is damaged from all the ketamine use

Do we let drunk drivers off the hook after killing a bunch of people due to their reckless behavior?

Yes, sometimes.

If someone’s “different ideas” involve literally praising hitler then it is logical to call them a nazi. The only way someone believe what you said is if they have not listened to a word Elon has uttered for the last 8 years.

He did a Nazi salute on national TV!? Three times!
