I find it telling that both of those sources (one of which cites the other btw) conflate posts about "race science" and posts that are "anti-immigration conspiracies". These are not remotely the same thing. Elon is clearly against immigration policies enacted by a large number of western countries, a stance which does not make one a Nazi or white supremacist.

Also in that Guardian article the evidence given for him being an anti-semite are that he unbanned people on Twitter and that he supports the AfD and told the country to get over its "past guilt" (a two-word quote btw is a sign of journalistic malfeasance, if you can't fit the context of a quote in your article then don't include the quote at all).

So, that's really extremely underwhelming evidence and honestly I'd appreciate a more critical reading of the source material you've provided.

I think you and MANY others should probably have a significantly higher bar for calling someone a white supremacist or a Nazi given all that such a statement implies.

Here's some explicit promotion of white supremacy for you: Elon quote tweeting -- to over 43 million views, including many people who only saw it because Elon ordered the algorithm changed to promote his tweets! -- the following:

"If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while White men hold a collective majority, then they will be 1000x times more hostile and cruel when they are a majority over Whites. White solidarity is the only way to"

Referring to all "non-whites" as violent brutes who would indiscriminately kill all white people is white supremacist thinking. It's a necessary part of white people justifying control of, and violence against, people of color.

I assume you are an intelligent person. That makes playing dumb like this so frustrating. If you don't think the sources I cited are convincing, I would urge you to do even five minutes of googling and see if you could find the evidence that has somehow eluded you so far. It is not hard to find.

PS I belatedly realize you did not even acknowledge Musk's Nazi salute. Perhaps you don't think that's anti-semitic, either.

I dunno, I read through their good faith post, and I judge it to be pretty convincing.

Sorry you don't feel the same way, but I guess no matter what someone says, there will always be at least 1 individual who disagrees with it or simply doesn't like it.

Anyways, have a good day, fellow HN poster.
