Mel is a fascist supporting other fascists. He can go to Twitter and be happy there. He doesn't belong here.

Putting him on ignore doesn't do enough.

The ACLU and 18 states have filed two separate lawsuits for Trumps EO that reinterprets the 14th amendment to end birthright citizenship.

A person’s beliefs and ideology are what define them as a Nazi, not a single action taken out of context. While it’s easy to interpret gestures or actions through the lens of our own biases, this approach risks unfairly attributing malicious intent where none exists. Context matters. Simply performing an action that may resemble a particular salute does not automatically align someone with the beliefs or values historically associated with that gesture. Judging someone solely on a perceived similarity to a symbolic act undermines the importance of intent and evidence in forming fair conclusions

That should be pretty clear to most. Makes a good news story though!

I’m not sure what’s worse. The intrusive ads or making the forum a safe place for hate speech and fascists.

Yeah, it's pretty clear that it's a nod to naziism. He's written op-eds in German newspapers calling for AfD as the only hope for Germany. AfD are neo-nazi's. He brought them to the inauguration. He's platformed Nick Fuentes, a neo-nazi. Taking all of that context into consideration, you're out here defending a nazi. I wonder what that makes you?

"It was a Nazi salute": Historian dismisses claim that Musk's raised arm was mere "awkward gesture

https://www.salon.com/2025/01/21/it-...kward-gesture/

"Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too," wrote NYU's Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Watching CP's chief misinformation agent / resident spin doctor Mel desperately defend this is really sad.

It's god damned more frightening than his 1st term that the world's greatest military power is being run by white nationalists and Nazi sympathizers.

I suppose historically that's always what America was and were only forced into action by Japan in WW2, ( if that piece of history I've read is actually true.)

U.s back then was in a protectionist mindset as well and why they refused to join the fight until Pearl harbor.

Maybe I was misinformed.

Anti-establishment, energized voter base, easily connected with common people, and most importantly, not a woman. Bernie would have easily beaten Trump, Hilary lost because she had none of those things, and it was still very close

Musk looks like he is K-holing during inauguration. Or rolling really hard on MDMA

The carrot's supporters are going to experience the worst buyer's remorse.

So dumb and all so preventable.

Like recreational drugs? God it has to be under doesn't it? Even the most astute drug users I encounter have an intake (with sharing included) around 1-2k a weekend.

[Senator Clay Davis]

But the most astute drug users you know don't have an unlimited budget. Imagine if they had $400 billion to splurge...

Are you insinuating that Elon's dealers are over-charging him because they're aware of his net worth?

Thats low...even for Terrys...
