AI, X and Musk are inherently linked with politics. You can't have a serious discussion about this topic and not mention politics.

The word "trillionaire" does not appear in the discussion. Not good form to imply quotes where there are none.

Interesting fact: I’ve never been called a Nazi.

This is suspect is because I don’t quack like a fascist.

Musk is fair game.

In fairness, he did do a nazi salute, on stage, in front of cameras. And his AI did decide to start calling itself "MechaHitler".

[shafyy]

If you look at what Musk tweets and says, he objectively is a racist and fascist in the very definiton of those terms.

He did a Nazi salute live on stage

But if Musk actively identifies himself as a Nazi, how is that name-calling?

His family left Canada to move to South Africa because they were in leadership roles in the Canadian Nazi party.

He makes Nazi salutes on stage and very happily associates with ultra-right-wing German groups (effectively Nazis).

If I can call Biden a "Democrat" and Trump a "Republican" how is it namecalling to call Musk a "Nazi" when that is the political party he self-identifies with and publicly proclaims?

Maxdo, I appreciate your moral stance. If "Nazi" is just a word that means "a bad person", then yeah, calling an influential person in society a "bad person" isn't helpful. As you say, name-calling doesn't help.

However, as you also say, it is important to try to see the reality. Musk is a Nazi.
