In a conversation with AfD leader Alice Weidel on X, Musk concurred with her assertion that Adolf Hitler was a communist and pushed disinformation about migrants coming into the US.
Both of them are idiots. Both are spreading lies and propaganda. It’s totally obvious that Hitler was not a communist. He murdered thousands of german communists. He campaigned during the elections of the 20s against them. He waged war against the USSR. Musk and Weidel are dangerous idiots.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find any conservative that will admit that Fascism is a far-right reactionary ideology (at least here in the US where I am, I’m really curious about European conservatives too).
Many of them are just playing games, but a fair number really just think fascism = bad = communism.
For what it’s worth, I think Musk is playing cryptofascist games, but it really doesn’t matter much which one is true. This is a fairly common thing in US rhetoric, but I don’t know if it’ll play in Europe.
Elon is an idiot with too much power.
Weidel is dangerous. She purposefully and strategically deploys this rethoric. The nazis weren’t stupid, they were really smart in how they achieved some of their goals. They were evil.
She got everyone to talk about this, even tough the substance was basically zero. This will get amplified to everyone, the poeple who know this is bullshit knew beforehand but it shifts the overtone window ever so slightly

I think they are both very smart and see the opportunity social platforms and hate speech gives them to ride on human basic emotions toware power.

That is important.
Weidel is extremely dangerous but unfortunately not dumb
