President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
the product is a dumb meme coin. it's nothing. this is what gary gensler's SEC has left us with. dumb coins that do absolutely nothing. cause if they do something, then they're a security.
i don't know if scam is the right word, maybe it is. but it's a dumb coin that dumb people buy. or smart people buy early, and dump on dumb people shortly thereafter.
But yes, we both agree this coin is dumb. Trump is an idiot for launching it and taking advantage of dumb people. There's a 3 month cliff, up to 3
In normal times, I'd ask you to stop right there and then think about who it is that's doing this. Your ****ing president. even just 10 years ago, for a president to be selling *anything* on this scale just days before his inaugration would have been wild, let alone something like this where the president will be making millions not from profit on a product where the purchaser is receiving something of value, but where every nickels of the tens (hundreds?) of millions he makes off this comes directly out of the schlub's pockets, in return for absolutely nothing. The. ****ing. President.
But these aren't normal times, so I won't ask you to stop right there and think about who it is. You already know, and you're fine with it, as are tens of millions of Americans. It's wild, and it's sad, yet here we are.
The guy is backing literal Nazi's right now in Germany, and a fascist in America. He didn't do it by accident... it was a troll... something Elon LOVES doing. It's amusing to him to change his X image to Pepe the frog, and watch a meme coin surge, or tweet something about DOGE and watch the crypto bounce, or troll libs... it's just a game to some arrested development man child.
This. Another sign of the times in the US - your president's right hand man thinks the inaugration would be a cool place to continue his infantile techbro trolling, and what's funnier than something resembling a Nazi salute to rile up those Libs, amirite? He was sure them Jews wouldn't mind because he had that day in Poland last year! Or at the very least, they wouldn't make a big deal about it because he's on the team whose suppoort they're banking on in Israel. And just like the memecoins, tens of millions of Americans know this, and they think it's just fine.
Edit to add: Thanks for the confirmation, housenuts...that tweet says it all.
I didn't realize Elon Derangemant Syndrom was a thing. It sucks a little bit to see people you have respected for a long time lose their collective marbles regarding Elon pointing at the sky.
I am a Jew who is so ****ing tired of weaponized Jew hatred. We already have enough of the natural stuff.
Housenuts says hes Canadian
and yeah the tweet is epic level trolling. just a big game to ol elon.
Its wild to me how the Republicans have rolled on their backs and turned full blown boot lickers. Zero self respect

Do you think modern Nazism is about genociding jews?
I really didn't even consider what Jewish people were thinking about it. Its not 1943, things have changed.

Have many people really lost their collective marbles over this, though? I don't know if I would call that a Nazi salute or not, but given some of the rhetoric the Trump campaign, it's at the very least extremely reckless/insensitive. And then when the best he can do for a response is "The “everyone is Hitler” attack is sooo tired", it's hard to see this as anything better than trolling. It might be that very few Jewish people found that offensive, and if so, that's great. But he still be trolling IMO, and maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm not a fan of using an inaugration ceremony to do so, and I don't think that's an especially wild take.
Just because he retweets Nazis and endorses the modern Nazi party of Germany and embraces Nazi ideology and makes the Nazi salute doesn’t mean he’s a Nazi. It’s probably just an unfortunate coincidence.
afaik that's just a right wing party in germany, which is very popular and calling them the nazi party is like calling the gop the american nazi party

It would be if they could.
Yeah, the war is over. We should keep in our hearts what They did to Jews, not what they did with their hands.
why do you think i'm fine with it? i've said the coin was dumb since it came out and it's a terrible look
This:
And the fact that he doesn't seem to have lost any of your support. My apologies if I've misunderstood.
And to clarify, "support" here of course isn't in the direct sense, but as a Canadian admirer. I'll admit I forgot that in my previous post when I said "your president". Although I guess he's as much of a president as you and I have right now. :(

all dem taint lickers try to do is sow division. it's really tiresome. i think the only 3 things i've posted about today are
1) biden's pardons were dumb
2) trumpcoin is dumb
3) libtards stirring up a fuss about elon's hand movements are dumb
I don't think I've posted anything about support for Trump, but that will come if he does support worthy things. And if he does dumb things, like the coin, I'll say that too.
maybe not here. this sub is aids

Its tiring seeing you play the victim when you've been posting for months so its not like people should take your posting today in a vacuum.
I just remember when you first popped in and seemed curious so a few posters were feeding you lots of sourced back information and you eventually devolved into "LOLZ, CRYPTO, DEI, LOLZ, CANADIAN" and now everyone treats you like the troll you proved yourself to be

Isn't he trying to insert himself into the German elections - probably just a massive trolling effort to be fair or the guy has completely lost it with the amount of power that has gone to his head that has just gone to a complete maximum level following the inauguration. Could be either.
No, just countering your claim that its a general/broad right wing ideology
And they are more akin to white supremacists which is basically what modern Nazism has evolved into because "gas the jews" doesn't poll well anymore
afaik that's just a right wing party in germany, which is very popular and calling them the nazi party is like calling the gop the american nazi party
Well you’d be very wrong. It wouldn’t take much googling to find lots of reporting on ties to Neonazis. For instance:
