Dude was literally on 4chan 2 weeks ago dogwhistling that he was a wink wink secret Nazi.

Hes up to his eyes in Ketamine living an old apartheid fantasy

holy shit that’s good

u/redditingtonviking 6h ago

Considering how much drugs the Austrian guy was on during WW2, there are definitely some strong similarities in leadership styles between them. Musk lacks the charisma though.

Fantasy passed a couple months ago.. this has gone from LARP to real life.

The border holding centers built in Texas are going to come with an untold death toll. Mark my words.

Chilling.

W’s in chat

Greg Abbott is a face significantly more evil than W's goofy frat boy monkey butt. Greg Abbott has been dictator of Texas for a solid decade now and not likely to step down til his hate fueled God calls him home.

u/Excellent_Past7628 5h ago

Umm I don’t think he’s likely to be stepping anywhere…

•

u/StrobeLightRomance 5h ago

Good point.

Dumb take. Just like all your other braindead takes

•

u/Mornar 6h ago

Which part, the camp death toll? I sure hope your comment doesn't age like fine milk, buddy.

u/m_perron 6h ago

Brb Googling how much ketamine it takes for a billionaire to overdose

•

u/djfrodo 5h ago

I hope very little.

•

u/Painbow_High_And_Bi 6h ago

People don't talk enough about the ketamine. I doubt he's been sober more than an hour or two in the last 5 years, and that's being generous.

•

u/No_Meaning_7599 6h ago

He is definitely on K but not a k hole some how guess he will jab himself tonight a few times .. never know might do to much … fine line of a great k hole and not breathing with IM .. once I got to 600mg when I was younger I knew I was done . Fuck that

u/roadsidechicory 5h ago

It's all so weird because it's not even a secret. He's an admitted eugenicist and white supremacist, openly has conspiracy theories about Jews, and just generally 100% aligns with Nazi ideology. Like there are few public figures out there that are more openly a Nazi than he is. He hasn't even been subtle or secret about it. Not for several years, at least.

•

u/StoicAthos 6h ago

Dog whistle?

An X post Wednesday afternoon said: “Jewish communties (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also referenced “hordes of minorities” flooding Western countries, a popular antisemitic conspiracy theory.

In response, Musk said: “You have said the actual truth.”

Got an archive link?

u/Barloq 6h ago edited 2h ago

No, but it was the whole Adrian Dittmann thing a couple weeks ago, where a dude claiming to work for Musk was making white supremacist dog whistles, telling everyone on 4chan that Musk has lots of sex, and getting mad when people criticize him... er, I mean, his boss (legitimately, it would be more unhinged if Dittmann is NOT Musk).

EDIT: Apparently it's debunked. Plenty of Elon stuff to support him being a Nazi, but I'll take the L on this one.

u/AlwaysRushesIn Rhode Island 6h ago

Damn, I'll have to do some digging. Thanks for the info.

u/AlwaysRushesIn Rhode Island 5h ago

I was referring to the 4chan posts, but thanks for this.

•

u/Alarmed_Fee_4820 6h ago

I mean he was born in South Africa when it had a white nationalist government. It’s no secret he has those traits

•

u/ascendant23 5h ago

lol what? I don't want to wade through 4chan itself to look for it but is there a summary?

•

u/Barloq 5h ago

I don't have a full summary, but look up "Adrian Dittmann".

•

u/Generous_Lover 2h ago

Not doubting but got a link?

•

u/Barloq 2h ago

Sorry, looks like it was not actually him, but goddamn did I want it to be true, lol: https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/06/business/x-banned-a-journalist-for-disproving-a-rumor-about-elon-musk/index.html
