    Making a dumb tweet doesn’t make you a fascist and doesn’t invalidate the years of hard work people put into a non-profit swiss company, you should get over yourself.

      No indeed.

      But supporting an administration (in any medium) whose inauguration included a Nazi salute does, in fact, make you a fascist.

      And no: it doesn’t matter if you previously did something good.

      It’s really not that complicated,

          Fair point. But no adult who is paying attention needed the salute to understand the contempt that Musk has for the rule of law.

          He marshalled an attack on the capital. No non-fascist does that.

            uh, you sure about that?

              Yes. We all saw it on national television.

              Then he pardoned the offenders.

              GTFO with your stupid pretend skepticism and gas lighting.

                  Martin Luther King marched on the capital.

                  But if you think I’m using a definition that makes Martin Luther King a fascist then I’m going to conclude you’re not discussing the issue in good faith.

      The tweet he commented on was indeed a nice idea, but a CEO should have more foresight that the things Trump stated in it would not be true. When you look at it now, it looks like it was more or less a threat that led to a closer relationship between “tech bros” and the current administration instead of the “take down” of them.
