Musk managed to talk about the Third Reich again without condemning it. Most people couldn't do that, especially if they faced claims that they had done some nazi things. Elon has been in the news about this often, but somehow journalists never ask him if he'd care to condemn nazism. Seems weird.

Yes, Musk SHOULD feel guilty about *currently* propagating Naziism.

"Wow. If he's here, who's running Hell?" - Van Wilder

Elon Musk: The Candace Owens of Social Media Owners.

Musk is a Nazi White supremist from South Africa... He's despicable.

It's even more horrifying when put into the context of American white nationalists trying to rewrite history to tell People that slavery was good for black People & we shouldn't teach about slavery bc that will make children uncomfortable about the past. 🤷🏻‍♀️

maybe if you guys stopped saying nazi things, doing nazi marches and doing nazi salutes there would be less focus on it.

It’s the normalization of bad behaviour and it’s easier to be bad than good. Look what’s happened in 9 years

I think he’s saying that children and grandchildren of nazis should commit THEIR OWN atrocities to be ashamed of later.

Where are all the Holocaust groups who formed to make sure it would never happen again

The Guardian has reported on it www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Area Nazi doubles down.

Wow. So Germans are cool with a non German telling them how to govern themselves?

calm everybody. let's wait for ADL's expert and clearheaded interpretation of Musk's words.

Says the white dude who grew up in apartheid South Africa. 🙄😡

This is really no different than insisting we can’t teach about Black history or slavery because it makes white kids feel guilty and bad. It’s white Christian nationalism at its peak.

Came here to say this.

I do agree they shouldn't feel guilty about the sins of their ancestors. That said they should still feel anger and not a small measure of shame.

That is a hell of a take. And I believe he wants to do it again.

He missed the point. The point is not for the children to feel guilty, but for the friggin' mankind to remember.

I wonder if he got any backlash ? I don’t feel guilty about my fascist father and grandfather , I despise them . Insert Elon Musk head here 👇

Backlash? On AfD rally? Doubt that very much.

The German press perhaps 🤔

Ah they were already roasting him for the salute. I guess they'll keep it up.

Found this , right on point .

Exactly. No one is punishing the children. We just want the world to NEVER FORGET

I don’t know why people think that elon is smart.

least surprising non-turn of events ever

It was this same message about Germany’s role in WWI that Hitler used to gain power and start WWII and exterminate Jewish people.

No one's asking them to feel guilty. Just reminding them what happens when psychopaths get too much power.

Like killing Jews????

It won't be long before Musk starts to say things like 'Hey Jews, relax, the holocaust was in the past. It'll never happen again'.

Don't do it Germany! Just like our January 6th, Elmo wants to rewrite history and remove it from the books, but, the history of horrific acts is one of the few ways to prevent reoccurrence.

My disgust with this excuse of a human only grows. I’m gen x and my father was a child in Poland at the time of the holocaust. I carry the suffering of my family close and do not forget.

Child of a mother who was a child during the Nazi era in Germany. Generational trauma, and generational effects of war and violence, are real. Solidarity with you

When they tell you who they are, believe them

You’re not your grandparents nazi!

Just because Germany is looking at their Nazi past further in the rear view mirror every day is no reason to bring them back Elon.

He needs to be deported

WTF - who is he working for? The same evil AF Xinvestors Ok sure hope the EU Shuts his ass down unlike America

OMG 😱, he’s going to hell in hand basket 🧺 😕🙄😒

It's the same thing going on in the USA. Forget about slavery, everybody did it so it's not as bad as people think.

Musk is a product of a dysfunctional family, is a dysfunctional parent, and has no place in telling Germans how to feel about their parents and grandparents.

You are right Molly- not so simple- but when you really think about it- it really is simple

I never thought we’d be here, and yet here we fucking are.

Truly the Henry Ford of our age

He really doesn’t get it. Germany is so brave to be able to never look away from what happened, to say This happened and it can never happen again.

I’m no supporter of that person but what he said was that children should not feel guilt for actions by their parents. Not sure that qualifies as what you’re describing.

It’s the same playbook republicans have used here to stir up anger in fragile white people who want to deny slavery ever exhisted.

Elon doesn't feel any guilt about his own parents' support of Apartheid in his own life time.

I dare him to do the Roman salute in Germany. How will that go for him?

Everyone there will repeat the past come ten years time.

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it” Winston Churchill.

Racist drug addiction says what?

was he speaking in German?

He's a psychopath who is devoid of human emotions and incapable of empathy. He's mentally ill.

So he's telling Germans the same thing conservatives say here about slavery... "Why should we feel guilty what our ancestors did? I've never owned any slaves."

He has no idea what it is to be human..soulless. Hez fuk'd up everything he touches and yet the world listens to him intently. How rich one is not a measurement of success when there are homeless and hungry on our streets.

It’s like being a born-again Christian You never have to face or address your past sins because that’s “the old you”

Who is this motherfucker to tell anyone how they should feel! Shut the fuck up leon!🤐

The irony is we all have moved on. It’s Musk and everyone he’s talking to that still dwell on it.

bsky.app/profile/chri...

Is it really about guilt or the lack of it? Or maybe it’s just that genocide is bad and we ought not do it?

That’s why some don’t feel empathy towards slavery in American

The ADL gave him a pass and now they will regret it. Do they still have credibility ?

No. They're compromised, clearly.

May we have Netanyahu commenting it ?

I feel horrible about the holocaust and other atrocities (treatment of our indigenous people also comes to mind). It used to be that we were all united in that grief. But empathy/compassion are severely lacking in the greedy GOP and their voters. Are they even human? They're certainly heartless.

This is exactly what conservative Americans do with slavery. "Omg that was in the past. I shouldn't be to blame!"

H*ll. That's what they do with Trump's actions from this week. "That's the past, we're only looking at the future."

This fucker has got to go.

🤬🤬🤬

Everything’s fine

Pretty sure anyone in that room has zero guilty feelings about what their parents did

I remember my dad letting me watch a Hitler documentary when I was younger I’ll never forget it and I will always remember how inhumane that was

They bulldozed bodies into deep holes I still see but I have it in my heart for all suffrage

It’s funny how that documentaries have a big sting of reality not movie pretend

Nobody is asking you to feel guilty for past actions - it's your present actions that are abhorrent, you freak!

Musk is a pig.

The least imaginative lie possible.

When can a government get involved and rid the world of this nazi insurrectionist?

If he did the Hitler salute or maybe the toothbrush mustache in Germany, they could arrest him.

I "feel bad about the holocaust", despite being British, not Jewish, with family who fought the Nazis. I feel bad because (despite understanding the complexities) I think our governments could and should have done more to rescue people who became holocaust victims. Musk is an immoral imbecile

But the majority of Israelis adore him.

🤬🤬

Really feel like this is because everyone keeps pointing out that his grandparents were Nazi sympathizers who emigrated to South Africa specifically to help uphold apartheid

That smacks of "quit teaching Black history because it makes white kids feel bad."

One of the best ways to eliminate the doubt surrounding a nazi salute is to attend a right wing rally in Germany.

Well, as they say, you can take the spoiled Afrikaner out of the family Ruby mines....

That's a Republican talking point about slavery and racism.

Nazi

Sounds suspiciously like telling Southerners the Confederacy was only about “state’s rights.”

🎯

Will someone put him on one of his rockets and send him to Mars ASAP?

There is absolutely no excuse for a Jew buying a Tesla. None whatsoever.

Same take on America and slavery. Just forget about it, that was in the past.

Musk is human sewage, the foul ooze of every diseased, vile trait of humanity and he should be deported from the planet...

How about humanitarian values and global leadership? Guilt has nothing to do with Germany’s generational watchdog function on fascism and fanaticism.

It isn't about feeling guilty It about looking at what they did & saying: nope, that is not who I want to be

Any word from the ADL?

The AFD party was ordered by a German court to remove a campaign slogan used by Hitler. They refused and are now in court for a second time. The AFD is a Nazi party and Musk is a Nazi. Don’t make this anymore complicated than it needs to be. #Musk #BoycottTesla

As any German school child could tell him, the issue isn't "guilt," it is responsibility. The German people bear a responsibility because of the Holocaust. It cannot be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Thank you You said it perfectly

I lived in Germany. Unlike Americans, Germans are highly educated and painfully aware of their history. You won’t find people more anti-Nazi than Germans these days. Not safe there for a Nazi like Elon.

Except, of course, for the German far-right party who Musk was addressing.

The center of gravity for that new far right is Eastern Germany where education (in GDR times) did NOT focus on teaching the Holocaust history. So there is a clear gap there. At 9th grade, our class made a field trip to the Dachau memorial site. It was moving but what we learned was not new to us.

They can’t get enough votes to form a government.

Okay, but the point is they exist. And did much better than expected in September. There is no reason to think that anti-immigration sentiment fueling the far right will be irrelevant across Europe in the coming years. www.americanprogress.org/article/a-be...

Let’s not forget “any German school child could tell him” because Holocaust education is required in German schools. Americans could learn something from how other countries teach and value and learn the lessons of their tragic history.

Imagine if US children were taught actual US history…

The Nazi jokes he is making on his personal propaganda platform, taken with this speech, taken with his Nazi salutes, are all there to show that the richest man in the world is very comfortable with Nazis, which should make everyone who is not cool with Nazis like he is, pretty disgusted and angry.

It’s up to other countries to stop him from spreading hate there. Do not allow him to enter your country.

WE KNEW www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... “Elon Musk Is a Paid Subscriber to Shockingly Racist Pro-Apartheid South African X Account” WHY WERE THOSE OF US WHO ALREADY KNEW NOT HEARD???
