Elon Musk, the head of Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, said “it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi” in a clip from an interview with Fox News that was released Friday, slamming how he’s been covered by the media. He also said that if his detractors could “press a button” and kill him, they would, but he is “difficult to kill.”
At Trump’s post-inauguration rally, Musk gave a straight-arm salute that many, including his estranged daughter, interpreted to be a Sieg Heil. Since he bought Twitter, now social platform X, he has restored white supremacist accounts that were previously banned. In March, as he was carrying out widespread firings of federal workers, he shared a post from an X account that said that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Mao Zedong didn’t cause the deaths of millions of people. Instead, public workers did. After criticism, he removed the post.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Musk spoke virtually at a campaign event for a far-right German political party, Alternative für Deutschland. He said that Germans should not lose their culture to “multiculturalism.”
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc., has been accused by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov of remotely disabling his Cybertruck.
What Happened: Kadyrov, who has been in power in Chechnya since 2007, alleged that his Cybertruck was “remotely disabled” by Musk.
The Chechen leader voiced his discontent in a Telegram post, where he described Musk’s actions as unmanly.
"Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely," Kadyrov wrote in the post.
Then he added in the post saying, "That's not manly. How could you do that, Elon?" He also mentioned that he had to tow the vehicle after Tesla shut it down.”

It really is unfortunate that we don’t have CousinsCowgirl around. The reactions and rushing in to cape for Apartheid Clyde would have been epic!

"Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe, and his money comes from Tesla cars
Well I’ve got this message for Mr Musk. We’ve crushed fascism before and we’ll crush it again"

I'm not convinced she would've defended DOGE...
She absolutely 100% would have. She would have said "I don't agree with what's going on there" while simultaneously defending everything Elon was doing at DOGE. That was her favored tactic when defending something Elon did that was pretty much indefensible.

This is a different level of wholesale carnage, not jus defending self-driving failures or starlink.
She's not here to confirm or deny, but I remember her once Ina blue moon drawing a line...she didn't defend everything.
You aren't a true fan of a musical artist if you don't admit they have at least one trash ass song, imo.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates didn’t mince words in his evaluation of Elon Musk’s role in government, fuming that “the world’s richest man” was “killing the world’s poorest children.”
Speaking with the The Financial Times, Gates expressed his disgust with Musk’s role in shuttering the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,” said Gates, who told the Times that he’d “love for him [Musk] to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut” American aid that had been going to a hospital in Mozambique.
Gates’s comments came concurrently with an announcement that his own charitable endeavor, the Gates Foundation, would spend an estimated $200 billion over the next 20 years before closing its doors in 2045.
“It gives us clarity,” said Gates. “We’ll have a lot more money because we’re spending down over the 20 years, as opposed to making an effort to be a perpetual foundation.”
This isn’t the first time that Gates criticized Musk, both over his attacks on USAID and his embrace of right-wing European politicians.
“USAID plays a super important role… it’s work that saves millions of lives and helps strengthen relationships for the United States,” Gates told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in February. “The basic idea that we should review almost every department and that if you were really smart about using technology or updating the goals, you could save 10% here, 10% there—which adds up to a lot—I don’t think that’s a mistake. But going in very quickly and saying that all these people run a criminal organization—that’s not quite as subtle as you’d hope to see.”
She absolutely 100% would have. She would have said "I don't agree with what's going on there" while simultaneously defending everything Elon was doing at DOGE. That was her favored tactic when defending something Elon did that was pretty much indefensible.

Nobody can convince me that Nickelback ever wrote a bad song.
