Philip Low finally clears up Elon for me.

[paulkienitz]

Mr. Low has known Elon for a long time, and has cleared up what it is that Elon really wants, and why he thinks throwing Nazi salutes will get him there. What he wants, apparently, is power — specifically, to have more power than Trump. He's competing with him while pretending to support him. And he was thinking that the way to come out on top was to do to Trump what Trump did to the other Republicans: steal the right-wing base by out-Naziing the competition. But he may have found that even for the GOP base there is such a thing as too much Nazi, and Trump was the one who correctly judged just the right amount.

1. The base has no problem with the Nazi salutes.

They cover for him. I witnessed it on the site that shall not be named. One said complaining about it is “woke.” I reminded him we won a war against Nazis. There are also pictures of Dems with their hands mid-air. People are claiming it’s no different from Musk. Fact is, they know he’s a Nazi and they love it. They just won’t admit it.

2. Any chance to capture an image or the text for people to read?

A lot of us refuse to go to the Meta and Shitter platforms with clicks or have accounts

11. Here's a version he put on LinkedIn (which lacks some of the followup)

3. 2 things can be true at the same time. He is a Nazi and a Narcissist

He is a hateful bigot.
I do think that he wants to be the most powerful man in the world, not just the richest. He is a Marvel movie villain personified.

4. "even for the GOP base there is such a thing as too much Nazi"

Bullshit, prove it.

5. There's no such thing as too much fascism for them, but...

... many of them don't want trumpism to resemble Hitler's version TOO closely. It's closer to a cross between Mussolini's and Putin's, anyway.

6. They would just need new uniforms to confuse the cult

not that most of them know the difference anyways.

7. This isn't complicated at all.

He obviously gave an intentional nazi salute. The motivation is internal to Musk. It is also irrelevant.

If it salutes like a Nazi, it’s a Nazi.

If you or his friend have doubts about this, please explain his support for AfD and his featured attendance at the recent AfD conference.

8. That simple

12. Absolutely correct

The truth is simple and internal motivations are irrelevant. He's a Nazi.

9. I've been screaming this since before he slithered onto the campaign trail.

Elon doesn’t want to be an American oligarch, he intends to be a global oligarch. He does not want to be the president of anyplace, he just wants to control everyplace. Of course he wants power. HOW DID ANYBODY NOT KNOW THIS?

10. Philip Low breaks it down very well.
