Well that would involve empathy, and as you know, it is a flaw and a weakness...
God I fucking hate Elon.
He has not.

Well to help convince us you could denounce all Nazis and racial hatred, especially on your social platform.
We’re still waiting.

Shut up nazi
Play Nazi games win Nazi prizes.
Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence...
- He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people "push hatred" against white people
- He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
- He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
- He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
- He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
- After the inauguration "gesture", instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
- He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people
It's not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it's a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports
Supporting the AfD party, an openly neo-nazi party, and appearing in their events, days after the "roman salute" removed any kind of ambiguity that could exist. He's a nazi, period. And the only good nazis are dead nazis.
The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There's not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini's National Fascist Party.

It's because you did the nazi salute. Do you remember that you did the nazi salute when the faschist government took over?
Nhaaa.... Just because you do the nazi salute position yourself in a place of authority inside our current fascist government and support it's politics and agendas even make Buddy buddy with its leader doesn't necessarily make you a fascist yourself... Right?

Well elon a start would be saying on live tv
"I am not a nazi. I detest everything nazis stand for. White supremacy is bad"
That would be a start
A start would have been not throwing a nazi salute.
But like that's really hard.
twice in a row.
Shouldn't have made that salute then, nor throw your support and your weird fans behind the AfD and Tommy Robinson.
Or keep suspiciously quiet when asked about the Nazi salute. I still have yet to hear him denounce the Nazis.
He's one of them, why would he denounce them?
Don't want to be accused of being a Nazi, then don't fucking act like one you stupid cunt.
If you're looking for sympathy you can look elsewhere.
straight-arm salute
It's called a nazi salute. Don't spread doubt on what it was. He did it twice in close succession. The only other reason for holding your arm up like that is when you explain how high Blondie, Hitler's dog, could jump.
'Nazi' isn't a preferable pronounce, it's what you're called when you act like a nazi, talk like a nazi and salute like a fucking nazi.
Bro literally intentionally does a Nazi salute on TV and then whines when people say he's a Nazi...

ORLY?
I mean that's certainly outrageous
But it also certainly tells me he's a nazi
-
He never apologized for this or the confusion
-
He’s mad, because he’s not getting credit for being worse than the Nazis
Not only did he not apologize, he doubled down with a string of extremely bad Nazi puns.
IIRC, even the ADL criticized it, which is hilarious, because it was RIGHT after they burned a ton of what credibility they had left to defend him.

He's had ample time to apologize, still hasn't.
He's right, he doesn't belong to the Nazi party. He sure is a white nationalist though, with some very authoritarian views on what a country should be.
Nazi says what?
Looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, even rapes like a duck. Why is everyone calling me a duck?
Condemn white supremacy then
Look guys, just because he bought Twitter and reinstated all the Nazi accounts, and thinks and says Nazi things, and and performed an obvious Nazi salute not once, but twice in a live broadcast to millions of homes, that doesn't mean he's a Nazi!

He's right. It is. It is outrageous to say the obvious truth about billionaires and corporations. Has been for many years now. A lot of people went bankrupt due to fines or to jail for precisely this.
Yes Elon! My heart goes out to you...
/s to make sure... I am mocking this imbecile and his statement.
If it walks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi, then it's a fucking Nazi.

Let's look on the bright side. He is still reluctant to publicly acknowledge it, which means that even he knows it is a shameful thing to be. I would be more afraid if he said "Hell yeah, I am, what are you gonna do about it? Do you own a President like I do?"

It's outrageous to claim he isn't a nazi
Seigheiling nazi piece of shit
- re-instates white supremacists accounts on Twitter while also banning journalists accounts (so its clearly not a "free speech" excuse of for the re-instatements
- backs the aFD whose party leader has been fined multiple times for using Nazi slogans
- Musk personally performs two back-to-back Nazi salutes from a podium on national television in front of huge live audience
For someone claiming to not be a Nazi he sure does Nazi things.
