Sept. 30 (UPI) – Elon Musk is under fire after publicly backing a far-right political party in Germany, suggesting the current government should not be re-elected over its position on the current migrant crisis in Europe.

      He thinks it’s controversial to not let migrants (men, women and children) drown and die, and has no problem promoting a party which is full of nazi sympathizers.

      He’s a sociopath, a racist and a fascist.

      And those likely aren’t even his worst characteristics, given the stories of sexual assault, links to Epstein, and the fact his father married his own daughter.

      You know, these are the kind of blatant lies that ensures that no one ever believes you or your “team”.

          What does German politics have absolutely anything to do with Musk admitting that he’s a Nazi?

          I care what words mean. This person clearly does not. That’s the problem.

            Supporting a party that’s basically just the Nazis again is the same thing as admitting he’s a Nazi.

            That is what it means for him to say the things he said. That is what those words mean.

            Why don’t you care?

              That’s not the same thing and that’s not what he said. Why don’t you think the truth is important?

                It means exactly the same thing.

                He endorses a demonstrably bigoted right-authoritarian party - specifically for its attitudes toward minorities and foreign nationals. Their policy on immigration is “don’t.” Their stated goals involve mass deportation. They explicitly claim “the concept of multicultural society has failed” and “Islam does not belong in Germany.” Naturally they’re also big mad about women being equal and gay people existing. They were always extreme nationalists, and then a couple years ago their old leadership split off because their own party was starting to scare them, and as a direct result these German-nationalist Christian-supremacist anti-minority nutjobs got even more blatant.

                They’re Nazis. He endorses Nazis. He is loudly and openly throwing in his lot, with Nazis.

                  It’s not even remotely the same thing, and lying about it only hurts your cause.

                    “Proving me wrong only pushes people toward my side,” said yet another predictable CHUD.

                    God damn, do I wish you people cared about words.

      How is that? Is the AfD a Nazi party? Maybe you should let the Government of Germany know, since Nazi Parties are explicitly illegal there. Or maybe you should stop throwing around terms like “nazi” to mean “things you don’t like” unless you have something specifically actionable, that would get the party banned in Germany?

        Is the AfD a Nazi party?

        Yes.

        Its a far right party that harbours nazis/fascists.

        Multiple rulings have passed that its legal to call some of their members those things.

        If not all of them are, they are associating with nazis. Which makes them nazis.

        In Italy, the Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) party is perfectly legitimate despite the constitution banning the PNF party from being created again. Despite FdI having roots in the MSI (Italian social movement), having a fascist symbol in their logo and some of the politicians participating in far right manifestations and declared Mussolini was a good leader, it’s complicated to define what fascist, neofascist and post-fascist is. They have traits of fascism but also not, e.g. this time they are allied with US and not against them.
