Imagine thinking Musk is intentionally doing a Nazi salute. Such unbelievable nonsense.
After being in front of a thousand crowds, denouncing Nazis, and being critical of the government, he wanted to show everyone he's actually a Nazi, just this once, with absolutely no upside in sight? Why would a massive capital holder, passionate about his businesses, want to hand over corporate control to fascist authoritarians? He constantly bashes the two-party status quo, government mismanagement of money, and fantasizes about the rise of a third party.
Fascism is a capitalist ideology they use to suppress the working class when we threaten the status quo.
Also, the Nazis didn’t just nationalize industries, they nationalized industries that they had sabotaged, so that they could then hand them over to their cronies - other businessmen. Sound familiar?
Fascism is capitalist only insofar as they give some deference to the "private" owner, but there is no proper respect for private property. Otherwise, the government controls all "private property" for national purposes. China is a fascist contemporary, marketing itself as communism (like Nazis did with socialism). But in reality, private property is being seized for the nation, not for the working class.
Musk in no way want to give over his companies to any government.
