Funniest are people quoting Goebbels who said something like that…
Like… Bruh… You are falling for the tricks of the minister of propaganda of the Deutsches Reich of 1940 in 2025…
Consider the martyr Luigi in these troubled times.
Breaking: self proclaimed genius is, in fact, an idiot.
Didn’t his own dad say he was… the R word?
You Americans really need to do something about this clown coughluigicough
McBain to base. Under attack by Commie-Nazis.
A commie-Nazie is such a weird combi-nation
The problem isn’t the Elon and co say this. It’s the middle ground people who, for the most part, are reasonable but have little education about politics, and don’t want to participate beyond soundbites.
In this case, the phrase works on two levels.
Most of these people would admit Hitler was bad. So, this reaffirms the statement Communism is bad. Even if they don’t know what Communism is.
For others, Communism is bad. This allows them to hear “We’re not like Hitler” about Elon and Co. They have no idea how bad Elon and Co may be, but at least their not commie pinkos.
The real genius of capitalists has been to persuade the electorate that there are no viable alternatives to capitalism.
Is this the whole “Nazis were socialists because it’s in the name” thing again? The far right love to pull this point out, ignoring the fact that as soon as he had power, Hitler had anyone remotely socialist in the Nazi party murdered so he could get on with the fascism. The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board. Anyway, it figures that Musk thinks Hitler was too left wing, since Musk thinks the whole universe is too left wing. And it’s characteristic of Musk that being to the right of Hitler doesn’t even give him pause.
The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board.
Not exactly. Hitler didn’t found the party, he joined it as a mole in order to spy on it for the military. He ended up doing a lot more than most moles, eventually taking it over and expelling the more socialist (though still racist) founders.
He hated socialists and tried to change the name as soon as he took over, but was convinced to keep the name because it had become a popular brand.
North Korea is a thriving democracy; it’s right in the name!
and Baathist Syria was totally a democratic republic
Braune Scheiße macht braune Scheiße
It’s like defining masculinity by looking at Musk.
It’s like defining a sane leader by looking at Trump
The Axis alliance between Italy Germany and Japan was literally formed as an anti-communist alliance.
Lost cause of the south levels of willful delusion
I was looking for this comment. It just shows Elon’s lack of knowledge and the will to say anything for the sake o confirming your beliefs.
I suspect he knows, he’s just a bad faith self serving douchebag
Dear Leader says Hitler was a communist so he was, all of you are wrong!
Ah just like dear Winnie The Pooh, who we swear is a good communist, and China is the greatest egalitarian state.
(Ignore our billionaires and Uyghur genocide)
So she admits that her AfD supporters also support a communist.
Hitler was an environmentalist. Proof thaf clmate change is a hoax. Trust me bro, I own a social media.
Communists were literally one of the first groups targeted for arrest when Hitler came to power in 1933. Like 10 seconds on google.
To quote wikipedia : The first [concentration] camp was Nohra, established on 3 March 1933 in a school. The number of prisoners in 1933–1934 is difficult to determine; historian Jane Caplan estimated it at 50,000, with arrests perhaps exceeding 100,000. Eighty per cent of prisoners were members of the Communist Party of Germany and ten per cent members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
This obviousy proves Hitler had tens of thousands of communists imprisonned in concentration camps to hide the fact that he secretly was a communist/socialist ! /s
Elon does not read… or at least pay attention to what he reads.
He also apparently does not watch movies.
I think it’s very possible that he doesn’t actually believe this, but instead wishes that his fans, who are always so eager to kiss his ass do, since in the eyes of most people, Hitler was the most horrible person to ever exist, and if Hitler was a communist that’d mean that communists are horrible people.
On the other hand, Muskrat is so stupid that him honestly believing this isn’t impossible.
I think Elon believes whatever is most convenient for him to achieve his goals.
Fair. It’s not like
fascistsconservatives care about things like logic or truth anyway.
Yeah, all the comments he made about the secret agenda of European jews to spread “judeobolshevism” through communist organizations and annihilate the Aryan race were just jokes about his good friends the communists. Him and Stalin were actually best buddies.
Let’s invade Russia and kill 15 or 20 million peasants as a prank.
It’s telling that it needs the second sentence you wrote for me to realize you were speaking about Hitler, not Elon. I don’t say he’s gone of that far, but it wouldn’t have supposed me at all.
Oh yes. In the early 1900s Nazis waged openly violent political gang war against the communists out of love and similar views.
I know this sarcastic, but conflict between various communist parties with slightly different views have been quite common in history
Pretty big difference though, the Nazis specifically targeted “Judeo-bolshevism” and were formed specifically to combat rising Communist sympathies and organization.
Conflicts between Communist orgs usually arose from incompatible differences in principle, such as whether or not to support such and such Socialist org, and usually the fighting isn’t based on extermination like it was in Nazi Germany with the Night of Long Knives.
