Pretty funny and apropos since Musk is actively promoting the far right (neo-Nazi ?) party in Germany.
That is outstanding work.

He doesn't really strike me as the neo Nazi type.
Elon Musk says he's 'Jewish by association' after Auschwitz visit, sees 'almost no antisemitism'
“I’m aspirationally Jewish,” Musk said. “So I was like, ‘What are people talking about with this antisemitism?’ Because I never hear it at dinner conversations."
Elon Musk said he is "Jewish by association" during a conversation with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro after a visit to the former Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland.
Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, made the comments during a conference on antisemitism organized by the European Jewish Association. The association had arranged for Musk to make a private visit to Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.1 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
"I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism. ... Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish," the billionaire tech mogul said in a video posted on YouTube by Bloomberg Technology. "I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m like Jewish by association."
The association organized the visit to address a worldwide surge of antisemitism after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

No, we all got what you were saying. Not sure why GT couldn’t.Yes I get it but see that my post could easily be read otherwise.
-Jean-Paul Sartre“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Don’t believe your lying eyes.Here's the thread for people who know a Nazi salute when they see one, whether they acknowledge it or not.
I would cut Germany some slack here. Because of their history, too much criticism of Israel would likely be counterproductive.Germany’s Reckoning With the Past Is No Longer a Model
In the 1980s, German institutions began to seriously confront their country’s past. For historian Enzo Traverso, German reactions to the destruction of Gaza show that they failed to draw the right lessons.jacobin.com
Well, that’s kind of the point of the piece. I’d encourage you read it in full.I would cut Germany some slack here. Because of their history, too much criticism of Israel would likely be counterproductive.
That doesn't mean they have to support Israel but there are other world powers better situated to holding Israel accountable.
Are you going back to the German who sowed the seed or the Nazis?I would cut Germany some slack here. Because of their history, too much criticism of Israel would likely be counterproductive.

Another thinking to "Own the libs".
Lead?There must be something in the water in Florida.
Yep. Each member of the cult is falling over themselves trying to outdo the others in proving their fealty to Dear Leader. Any bets on how long it will be before a Congressional Republican proposes to rename Washington, DC as Trump City? And then another can propose to build a giant statue taller than the Washington Monument in the likeness of Dear Leader. I'm sure that our new plutocrat overlords like Musk and Bezos will gladly pay to build it.Just adding more to the mountain of evidence that it's NOT a cult.
I hope they do it. And use federal money to do it. Send an invoice to every American with the amount of their money spent on it. Rushmore is a blight on the Black Hills anyway.F no
