Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages
‘Our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians ... are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers,’ fires back angry union president
I am once again asking Democrats to be a functioning opposition to the Republicans.

The holocaust, like all slave labor, inevitably was exploited by capitalism.
A) He's doing this stuff to make the libs jump (or more accurately do something that MAGAs believe will make Libs jump.)
and
B) When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Also, Behind The Bastards has done a deep dive on the life of Musk. Find it. Listen to it.
Then check your local officials and see if they're die-hard ownership class, or can at least sympathize with the proles.
It's time to activate. Don't make Molitovs yet, instead find out where to march or stand. But do look at where your molotov-making supplies are.
What did we used to say to mouth-breathing trolls on the internet?
Luigi where are you?
He makes an excellent point.
"At the next war let all the Kaisers, presidents and generals and diplomats go into a big field and fight it out first among themselves."
If he wants war, let him war by himself
That's a quote from Remarque's "I'm Westen nichts neues"
He also is famous for loving to post 14 flags under his posts. 14 is a white supremacist number called 14 words. He's 100% a Nazi and he does not hide it one bit.
Posting the tweet here for reference
Jesus fuck already. Why can't this fuck hole skip to the bullet-temple, doused-in-accelerant, ignited-in-a-ditch phase of his life. He's so fucking thirsty for it.
Why give him a quick one ? When you can make him suffer
Someone needs to do it.
Luigi's gotta save the Princess
Last I checked, being the man who oversees a genocide does not make you innocent. In fact, it makes you just as bad, if not worse, than the people following orders.
I'd say worse. In the least, people carrying out orders might be doing so out of fear for their own life. It doesn't excuse it, but on the scale I'd say that's much better than putting people in a position to kill or be killed.
Jesus fucking Christ. This is actually fucking happening... Fuck.
I've been reliably informed that, unlike Reddit, I can reply "Fuck Musk". I hope that's the case. If it isn't, still "Fuck Musk".
Unlike Twitter and Reddit, we actually give a fuck about free speech. You can even say "I want to rip out Elon Musk's spine and wipe my ass with it in Mortal Kombat 1" if you want.
I've been under the impression that, unlike Reddit, I can upvote posts like this, so I did.
I’ve been under the impr-
FUCK YOU ELON MUSK YOU ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE AND A NAZI. I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.
We can also pray that people like Elon are met by someone like Luigi 🙏
You can reply "I hope Musk gets shot in the head" for all we care, friend!
So say we all.
Come on everybody!
🎶For he's a stupid asshole! 🎶 For he's a stupid asshole! 🎶 For he's a stupid asshoooooole! 🎶 That everybody hates!
You can't say fuck musk on reddit?
Lemmy FTW!
I'd like to agree with you. But can I say Elon Musk can go eat a big bag of infected whale dicks? Because I'd like to, because I think he can
That's a low bar.
Fuck elon. Like really, just fuck all the way off you Nazi piece of shit
Where is the jfk killer when we need him?
"Sir, we talked about this. After having a wave mistaken for a 'heil', our press guide says we wait at least a year before mentioning 'Hitler'."
"But I can still goose step, right?"
Is how I assume the conversation with his press agent went...
I've tried to keep an open mind that he might just be the "worlds stupidest man", and not a full Nazi, but this is pushing it.
I don’t drink, but I’m gonna crack a really nice bottle when Musk suck starts a glock. Will be his greatest lifetime achievement. I hope he video tapes it so I can bust a nut to it.
You see my honor i didnt shoot the man i just held the gun that decided to kill him.
You couldn't have shot him. You were having coffee with me at the time... :)
I would verify your story, but killing fucking Nazi's isn't a crime anyway. If TFB somehow isn't a Nazi, then he's perhaps just all of history's stupidest man.
As much as "I was just following orders" is not enough to excuse someone of their responsibility in atrocities, "I was just issuing orders" will not excuse anyone either.
Anyone who thinks that just because someone didn't pull the trigger, that means they're not guilty, you can get your ass back in line to lick elons boots.
This is in the same vein as "Hitler did some good things" kind of cognitive dissonance. While the statement may not be wholly false, the fact that anyone could overlook everything he did that was bad, to find some small piece of something he did that can be construed as "good" is simply trying to put an objectively evil person into a better light, when they do not deserve it.
There are plenty of misunderstood people in history that did very good things, and were killed/maimed/murdered/imprisoned/tarred/feathered/whatever, because they did something that the wrong people saw as bad.
Nobody should ever try to find a shining light of good deep down in the black abyss of Hitler's life.
Reminds me of a Brazilian advert for a magazine in the 90s. It started with some large black and white dots, slowly zooming out, and the narration went something like:
"This man was an artist. When he took power, his country was in a deep economic recession, but he brought prosperity back and made it home to some of the most important industrial companies still functioning today. To this day, many people look up to him. This man... (zoom out finishes) was Adolf Hitler.
It's possible to tell a lie telling only truths."
Hitler did some good things
FWIW I do think this is genuinely an entirely false statement. Usually, Hitler apologists will say either 1) Hitler rebuilt Germany's military, or 2) Hitler rebuilt Germany's economy, but neither thing is really true. Germany's military was largely rebuilt before Hitler's ascension in national politics - ironically enough, with the generous assistance of the Soviet Union. And Hitler didn't rebuild Germany's economy at all, he just ran things off of borrowed money and then did his level best to exterminate the people who had loaned it to him.
And not only did Hitler not do anything good, he ruined that fucking mustache for everybody for all time.
TBF, Hitlerdid kill Hitler.
My granddad rocked the mustache til his death. Helps that he had much lighter hair.
Not really relevant to the POS Musk, but: it is interesting how few people were actually involved in murdering such a massive number of victims. The Treblinka death camp by itself, for example, was operated for 18 months by a staff that consisted at any one time of around 25 German officers and soldiers and around 100 local workers. Using only a salvaged diesel engine from a Soviet tank, they murdered approximately 900,000 people. Had German defeated the Soviet Union, they could certainly have exterminated the entire country had they so chosen (though the long-term plan was geared more towards enslavement).
He really wants to see what happens to Tesla when it drops below that magic number where they are going to want some REAL money for Twitter. Not fake made up money... Not the Saudis money who really paid the capitol for pathetic little muskrat .... Real money he claimed he had in Tesla stock but never did because the points are made up and the numbers mean morning. Over valued bullshit stock ..
It speaks volumes when you tote your child around as a human shield.
Probably irrelevant, but if you were to make an omelette, it would be nearly impossible not to break a few eggs. I struggle to see how this would be pertinent though.
Just keeeeeep digging that hole Musky boi. Might as well upgrade to a backhoe at this point.
Oh of course, if you fire all your public workers, you can't have a genocide because there's nobody to carry out your orders.
Silly fucking me.
I'm assuming we can look forward to all those cops and ICE agents being fired then.
OMG what a fuckwad!
Musk needs to be strapped into a chair, "Clockwork Orange" style and forced to watch all 9 hours of "Shoah."
Baby shark on repeat.
I wish Lemmy could filter out some topics/tags/words like mastodon offers to do
Lemmy really needs a RES equivalent.
The Voyager app can do it (weirdly only when signed in, I guess?).
Thanks I'll try
"Mr. Musk, you recently shared a post that mentioned the workers were the ones who killed people and not Hitler without elaboration. Do you believe that Hitler bears no responsibility?"
Haha "The Onion", you almost got me... OH GOOD GOD
Void, that was a great show
The Onion presidency 2: Fascist Boogaloo
I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don't deal with them, they'll deal with you...
There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.
ZERO TOLERANCE, motherfuckers!
Punching nazis is always the right thing to do
There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.
And so you piss and shit on their graves as much as possible right?
I get it! Kyle Rittenhouse didn't kill anybody, fast-moving bullets did!
In the same vein, Musk didn't make billions. Tesla workers did.
Elmo is a chinless, balding and dickless wonder boy. (Dickless because he had failed penis vanity surgery which broke his penis. That's why all his kids are IVF). I truly wonder where and how he got the idea his genes must be propagated. Intellectually, he is also defective....
I like this reading.
I will also accept that maybe Elon is calling his right wing cultist followers dumb fucking sheep who will bend to their master's will
It sounds like a pretty good argument for pushing back against the administration and not following orders.
Good thing they are arresting those scary antisemitic campus protesters.
Has the ADL responded to Elon yet?
This animal needs to go.
Make him go, then. The world is watching. (Assuming you are American)
To be fair, records show that this wretch emerged from some sulphurous stinking hole that appeared in South Africa somewhere, so surely some of our friends there might know the incantation to send him back?
I'm not.
For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking "he's an idiot and he's just drawing attention to himself." But now, to anyone that was still thinking "maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn't really mean it", this is it. If you're not getting it now you never will. He's literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.
He’s doing the same shit Kayne was/is
He's just a retard.
I've known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They're often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don't need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.
Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump's taint instead.
No.
This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.
Elon is a Nazi, full stop.
I can't stand him. Interesting that's the word you've used cos in Britain it's considered ableist. Can I interest you in the word "wanker" instead? It rolls off the tongue nicely.
We don't need to resort to ableism to hate a nazi.
He is both a moron and a Nazi
Those aren't mutually exclusive.
In all my days, I've never seen a better comment that asked for a "no u."
He’s an evil retard, with an infinite amount of wealth and power, if that’s not scary Indon’t know what is.
Guns don't kill people. I do. I kill people. with guns.
But it's real.
Jon Lajoi was the bartender in the Necrogoblikon video for No one survives.
Mussolini didn't string himself up from the service station, the enraged masses did.
These CEOs always claim they can't do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I'd demand felon's head for doing all this damn to my investment.
I keep screaming this to my friends and family.
WHERE ARE THE DERIVATIVE LAWSUITS!?
To be fair, there is a derivative law suit still working and it’s around the excessive bonus they granted musk and then retracted and then re-granted atter reincorporating TESLA in Texas. I’m pretty sure I have this right
I have read that many who would be able to bring suit are in Musk’s pocket. Like his brother, for example.
I really would love to see some derivative suits going though.
It's a meme stock, not an 'investment'.
And now Musk has parlayed it, and his various pyramid scheme-like companies into replacing as much of the US government as he can get away with with his junk.
The US will suffer.
There's got to be tons of lawsuits right? Like all the people that have been fired and tons of people being affected negatively by musk probably have class action lawsuits and stuff?
I'm sure some will arise from this, and like most times they'll settle instead of taking their target down. Yes it's expensive and time consuming, as always it'll be worth it if you take your time and do things the right way.
If he admires the man so much, why isn’t he following in his footsteps?
Coward.
He should just skip to the last chapter
I fear me should probably try Stauffenberg-ing him in the meantime.
He is. Hitler didn't start with exterminating huge swaths of people, or killing himself.
They mean that they want him to skip to that.
I am getting brain rot through his trash talk
I know people need to eat and times are difficult, but I would have quit way before he said that. I still wonder why he has so many employees left.
Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn't the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can't provide for their families...
Scout is about to open a large EV factory in Columbia SC, there a lot of job postings for those willing to move, housing cheaper too
but will they, but they adjust income based on the area. and people are much more reluctant to move to a red state/ or the place with low probability of jobs outside of the ones being listed. moving is also kinda expensive too.
oh dear gods they're preparing to implement the final solution jesus fucking christ it's actually happening ._.
I'm genuinely scared he'd do it if he could. I'm not being flippant. First the nazi salute, now this... in the space of weeks.
I made this fortune through my own hard work!!!
Also, the company did some terrible stuff all on its own.
This will do wonders for him in Germany.
Not. At this rate the German gov might start sanctioning his local company/factory.
Seize the factory to make military equipment for Ukraine.
That would piss him off.
Sadly, probably not. That would require some political courage instead of craven avarice and an obsessive aversion to change.
By that logic, billionaires didn't create anything, the workers did it.
While using state capital too
The most generous interpretation of this that I can give is, "if I ransack the government, the government won't be able to kill millions." Questionable logic.
The guy just enjoys adding to the number of times "Hitler" is said online.
Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot's youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.
Who here exactly stood up for Elon musk? I came to Lemmy almost two years ago and I haven't seen it here
you gotta be joking, thunderf00t is among the most unbearable, ignorant, most self-assured assholes going. he harassed random women for having opinions he disagreed with for years.
Even if you came across his current videos completely unaware of his history, his content has gotten progressively worse - at least his Musk stuff (the only thing of his I've tried watching recently). All of his Elon Musk videos are bloated with recycled memes, repeating the same points, and congratulating himself on how smart/right he is. It's insufferable even if you dont know his ugly personal views and history.
You're so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07
*Anthem plays
Thank you for your recognition of my keyboard warriorship service.
This is a hail Mary tweet lol
Technically correct while pissing a bunch of people off is exactly what he wants. He can (correctly) say that he was only speaking facts but it also "triggers the libs".
So once again he's dangling bait and everyone is taking it hook, line and sinker thus giving him exactly what he wants.
I swear if everyone just stopped paying attention to him he would shrivel up and die. These egotistical maniacs feed off of any attention and the people who hate him the most give him the most attention.
