He's just an edgelord. He thinks he's funny and edgy and everyone wants to be his friend. Inside he's a scared little boy who wants his daddy to love him but his daddy is a nazi who hates him.
do you know that you can an edglord doing nazi shit? a nazi. no matter the motivation, he's still a nazi.
I did know that. But I think you give him more credit of self-awareness than he has. Elon Musk is a vacuous ego with a lot of money. I don't believe he has the depth of mind to actually hold any political ideology, for good or ill. I think he is singularly focused on being the Best Boy, and will ape anything that helps him feel that way.
You're probably right. He was the lib-left's Best Boy a few years back, was gonna solve climate change and do cool science shit and whatever, but then I forget what exactly happened but he kinda swung the other direction.
Motivation probably doesn't matter too much. It just highlights the systemic problem of allowing one person to have that much money-power.
You make it sound as if Naziism is a political ideology and not just a hate cult. everyone who is a nazi because of self serving reasons is still a nazi, even if they are stupid or so drugged that one might question if they have any agency. they are still nazis.
Most nazis are really stupid and irrational and don't need a reason either, still nazis.
even edgelord vacuous nazis are just that: nazis. No matter the reason, or if it's meant "ironically", they're a nazi. There's no excusing it, or softening it, they're a full blown nazi.
He did the nazi salute on stage, at least twice, he holds extreme right-wing and white supremacist views, he is a nazi.
He's a lot more than that
