Defend him all you want, he speaks for himself. We can see his actions and who he funds.
I’m out of the loop here. Has Musk done anything related to nazi symbols (besides that weird gesture that some people say is a nazi salute), or funded Nazi organizations?
EDIT: Why the downvotes?
That's 100% allowed, i'd personally encourage it, if you find yourself in a place you don't enjoy, stop going to that place.
That's a mature response to a self-imposed stressful environment.
It just such a shame that HN, what I see as a gathering ground of intelligent people, is so much contributing to the divide by labeling people with other opinions as sub-humans almost. Belligerent, closed, judging. I don't like it.
It's frightening.
Don't like Elon’s politics? Thats reasonable.
Don’t like his approach to business? That’s reasonable.
Oddly twist everything to paint an evil supervillain?
Oddly extend that “evil” to others who fail to condemn him the same way?
Oddly spend hours and hours online arguing with people about Elon with others?
That’s not normal nor indicative of a healthy psychology.

The entire world knows it is a nazi salute, and people defending it do too. They would never put themselves on camera doing this because they know it is indefensible.
Has he actually said it wasn't a Nazi salute? My last update was that he responded to questions about this by making Nazi jokes, I haven't seen any actual denial. Could you share when he did so, so I don't spread inaccurate information? Thank you.
