But anything else? that's what I'm asking
not my job and this is not the place to waste my time providing a textbook-level of evidence of what you could have researched yourself if you were willing to be persuaded, but ask your History teacher if you're seriously asking.

I hear often Nazi this Nazi that? I think it has lost meaning. Can you explain what Nazi is? Vs Nazi from like WW2?
As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.
Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.
His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

Then why did you reply to me?
I know what a Nazi is
However people often misuse it with people they disagree with. Elon already had a lot of hate before that.Can a Jew be a Nazi? Are Kanye a Nazi?
People with their beehive mentality, just echoes being what other people says. Can't have simple discussions without people trying crucify you for asking questions.

Free speech absolutism at work
It’s frustrating that we knew he was full of shit when he was saying it. And now the evidence is showing it is bullshit. And it’s like it doesn’t even matter.

Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won't respond to your answer.
One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would've earned himself a big red "Nazi Defender" tag.

I think elon called Lula a dictator...and called the UK a dictatorship. That makes it even more obvious what he's doing.
He also said Canada is 'not a real country' so...
-
A little context might have been nice, but then the musk hate and conspiracy theories would be harder to justify:
X restricted Imamoglu’s account in Turkey complying with a legal request by Turkish authorities who cited national security and public order concerns.
They're also challenging the legal request in court: https://x.com/GlobalAffairs/status/1920426409358455081

Yes, but that's not a dictator fetish (ok, it is, but it is a different one)...
He knows dictators are a bad thing to be, because he calls the people he doesn't like one. But he never calls out actual dictators, he actually makes deals with them and helps them. That says he likes and respects that model of governance, even if he knows it is deeply unpopular and deeply disrespects functioning democracies. And uses it to rouse his stans. -

you can also tag people on Lemmy, or at least I can. look for the About User menu then "Add Tag" or "Tag user" from their profile

The speech free platform continues to remove speech.

X also are challenging the legal order in court: https://x.com/GlobalAffairs/status/1920426409358455081

I thought they didn't block political figures... Guess the muskrat just meant the figures he agrees with...
They comply with local laws and legal orders, like the one that forced them to do this:

Yeah, he is forced to, but just to be clear, he will bitch for a month if this happens for thoroughly legitimate reasons in any country that is a functioning democracy e.g. UK, Brazil, Biden US, Germany, South Africa...
-
He needs a Blu Sky account ASAP

X is challenging the legal order in court btw:
Just like they have done and are doing in basically every country that makes legal demands like this.
Edit: the dogpiling in here is insane.
I post a link to a tweet where X spell out that they were FORCED by the Turkish government to ban the account, and that they are challenging the order in court because they don’t believe in this violation of free speech……and I get downvoted?
-

BlueSky would ban his account as well. It was banned in Turkey because of a legal request by the Turkish government. If they don't comply there are huge legal consequences.
Would BlueSky, the huge fans of censorship that they are, challenge the decision in court like X are though? Not a chance.
Edit: seems bluesky have already banned his account lol

so apparently, bluesky has started honoring government takedown requests from turkish government. i wonder what the nature of measures taken are. do the accounts or the content get taken down or do they get geofenced, @jay.bsky.team ? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Nazi platform.
Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone "prank" someone or cry about their perceived persecution.
We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.

You've called the good guys here the nazis and let the actual authoritarians off the hook scott-free.

Tim Waltz did the exact same salute btw. The same Tim Waltz that says that Trump 100% did a nazi salute. I guess Tim Waltz is a Nazi too.

Only if you ignore that Twitter is owned by a nazi, and that the person above didn't say anything about letting, the authoritarian regime in turkey off the hook.

"full of shit" = "standing up for free speech against governments that are trying to censor political opponents" ?
-
Why would he get blocked there?
He would get blocked there because BlueSky will comply with legal requests as well, because if they don't they will face criminal charges and/or massive fines. BlueSky, being a platform that loves censorship, would not challenge the legal order in court like X are either.
Even fediverse instance owners would be forced to block his accounts under threat of fines and/or prosecution.
edit: BlueSky have already blocked his account lol
