Genuinely fuck Musk. Cries he's being called a Nazi while doing everything in his power to act like one.

Nobody does a Nazi salute by accident Elon... And especially not with a face looking like he just bust a nut while doing it.

You’re not wrong, but this article is more about Netanyahu’s flexibility around ‘antisemitism.’

You know, how it’s now considered antisemitic to criticize Israel’s war crimes, but it’s totally not antisemitic to do a Nazi salute and joke about the holocaust as long as you support Israel’s war crimes?

This is in no way a defense of Elon. He is a horrible Nazi and he hates Jews and I'm a Jew.

That said, I'm not seeing where he brought up the Holocaust. He made a bunch of very offensive puns regarding Nazi leadership, but unless I missed it, nothing about the Holocaust. All the critical responses seem to mention it so maybe I'm missing it?

I guess I feel like "makes Holocaust jokes" is just unnecessary hyperbole when what he said was awful enough.

Himmler was a German Nazi leader and the chief architect of the Holocaust

-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler

His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

-- Elmu

I think it's probably fair to call punning on the name "Himmler" to be a "Holocaust joke", but I can also understand if someone doesn't think it is.
