I am a German and i am in deep distress of what is going on. Seeing such a person of wealth behave like this, abusing all of his power, makes me tremble in fear. I am seriously afraid of him. I listened to many of Hitlers speeches, i read Victor Klemperers diaries and looked at the material from Nürnberger Prozesse after World War 2. Since 25 years i soak in every bit of WW2 material and am very keen on east block politics and history too. What happens right now is actually the same like a 100 years ago but to a much greater extend in terms of people radicalising. Why? Because it happens all over the world and mostly in nations that where very democratic and a role model for man others like the USA. Media and brainwashing got so much more advanced. It is literally what Goebbels (Reichspropagandaminister of Germany) has dreamed of and so many of the techniques they (Elon, Trump, AfD in Germany etc.) use are literally the same. To me the political agenda of new far right populism is a nightmare. Senator Sanders is so smart, like Carl Sagan smart... and the world gets Trump/Musk. I am actually in tears. EDIT: Thx for the mostly positive comments and the solidary likes. I appreciate this. To the trolls, bots and negative comments: thank you too, since you quite elegantly prove my points by unwittingly making a mockery of yourselves with every single aggressive post of yours. Grüße aus Schland, in der Hoffnung, daß die Demokratie uns noch ein wenig erhalten bleibt.
We have our own german billionaires who finance right wing extremists (von Finck Jr helped building the AfD for example) . They're just way more subtle.
It is terrifying seeing the ripple effects from USA to across the world. I never never NEVER dreamed in the United States of America someone associated with the President would do a nazi salute so openly and with so much vigor and intention on live television to a live crowd for everyone to see, and the worst part is the crowd continued to cheer, and ever since all the republicans are denying what Musk did. You can bet your ass whether he meant it or not, real nazis saw that and felt empowered and emboldened.
I am german as well and I feel every single word you are saying here. It is frightening and I honestly did NOT expect we would be heading this way again in my lifetime.
Also German. I get the same feeling now. Even people i know start shouting out this populist nonsense. Really feels like the World is changing and not for the good...
We Native Americans are used to this, dealing with people like this are common places for us. If Musk wants to back people who want a fight, then that's what we give him. Either in the ballot box, or in the streets ✊

Let me say as a German: I found the conversation between Alice Weidel and Musk very embarrassing. She spoke like a little fangirl. She spoke as if she was speaking for us Germans and I find that insulting.
A question: do Germans genuinely believe that Hitler was a communist? I don't want to generalise everyone in one box, but most Germans I've met are quite well educated, and to acritically believe such an ignorant and revisionist statement is ridiculous in my eyes
@@Fronko_ No, the vast majority of us do absolutely not believe that Hitler was a communist. In fact, most Germans find Alice Weidel's claim somewhere between infuriating and ridiculous.
No, let’s say it like that everyone that claims hitler was a communist or his party was, knows exactly what they are doing, and ridiculous and dangerous to do that but as some other smart people said, a lie only has to be said often enough, well than one day it becomes the truth. That’s what they are doing here and in other places, and people fall for it …
@ That is the language of the political right: in this case, it is meant to trivialize Hitler. It is like Musk's Hitler salute: many say "he didn't mean it like that!" The salute is trivialized. Its evil symbolism is taken away.
The thing is the big corps have too much influence for 1 voice to make a difference; it's much easier for them to witchhunt your message and gaslight the population into thinking you're wrong than passing the right message along to enough people to tip the scale in your favour. Look into Jeremy Corbyn's time in politics if you want a good example
Absolutely true. Every single elected Republican is only concerned about keeping their political job. They're spineless, immoral, unethical, greedy & corrupt. The future of this nation is being totally destroyed by THEIR inability to do the right thing. If they collectively stood up to the Felon in Chief, he'd be powerless. These feeble, weak, submissive GOP fools don't even care about the future for their children & grandchildren & are willing to sacrifice everything for an embarrassing, bumbling, narcissistic fool. Musk only has power as long as he stays in the Felon's good graces. Hopefully, that bromance will be short-lived. Steve Bannon, another creepy one, has it out for him- hopefully there are others as well since Musk's plans don't align with the rest of the MAGA ideology.
And thats literally how Hitler and the nazis came to power, due to the incompetence and compliance of the democratic parties at that time, Im afraid history might repeat itself
Dude, you say it like it's a new thing. This is democrats crying foul despite doing it themselves. If somebody isn't pulling their weight, then the party finds a candidate within the jurisdiction to replace them, it's how it's always been done. Now it's suddenly a "weapon". This is part of the problem with why the left lost the election so badly, they cry foul about things that they themselves have perpetrated, it's created public distrust with them. Just like how democrats and leftists right after the election started complaining about how unfair it is that Trump has all these billionaires on his side. Is it unfair that they have billionaires on their side, or is it unfair that they have more billionaires on their side than the left? Do you really think the public is stupid enough to think that this is the first time billionaires and business elite have had influence on an election? Both sides are equally as bad as each other, both sides play the same games and the elite of both parties generally don't care about the results. The general public now understand this, so instead of voting for the "morally superior" candidate (because there isn't one) they voted for the one that made more sense.

He is not a citizen of any european country, he should stay away from our politics. The people who have suffered greatly from the violent wars of the last century have died, and now those of us who have not felt such pain seek to find it again. History is a cycle, and a vicious one at that.
"First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me" - Martin Niemöller (a person who abandoned the far-right and became somewhat a centrist figure in the 1930s-1940s)
Hey so maybe appreciate the facts before throwing in some antisemitism on a video about Nazism. It’s not Jews coming for Palestinians, it’s Zionists. They’re different, please do some research. And this isn’t about that, this is about a literal Nazi endorsing literal Nazis in some of the biggest governments around the world, and why a fascist-oligarchy is forming in the US. Have a lovely day xoxo

Thank you! Martin Niemöller that wrote that poem, was sent to Sachsenhausen koncentrationcamp as early as 1937. He was sent 1941-1945 to Dachau Koncentrationcamp and then released. When you understand what that gesture Elon Musk did represents of putting opposition to silence, you just can't smile to that Musk anymore.

I knew what the salute was the moment he did it , that was not a mistake , it was a message to the others like him around the world. God help us all . 🕊️🙏
In European countries you would 100% get fired if you would do the Nazi salute! Even if you would do it in private and your employer would get notice about it.
@@madness9651not actually good movies though. Just because there are deeper elements to a film that most people don't understand doesn't make the rest of the cinematography, writing, directing and acting any better. The prequels are terrible.
Right, because the guy who’s super pro Israel and pro Zionism, who stands against hamas (which has at the center of its mission statement the eradication of Jews from Israel), and its supporters in the west, is a nazi. You morons don’t even understand what nazism is. You just use it as an insult. What you really mean is authoritarianism, but that’s not as sexy and viscerally repulsive, and thus politically useful as the word nazi.
What baffles me is people saying he didn't know better, even after him doing it twice. Like, this guy is a billionaire businessman who hails himself as a genius, and those who support him also hail him as a genius. And, as much contempt as many of us have for him, he's not unintelligent. One doesn't become the richest man in the world by being a blithering idiot. NO ONE in his position is stupid enough not to know what the Nazi salute is. Especially if he's a so-called genius (obviously we know he isn't).
Yeah there's no way. Either he's a complete fool and idiot or it's intentional. And we're told he's supposed to be very smart so seems unlikely it's because he's an idiot. Also if it was a mistake, why no apology? Hope his companies go under and he loses all that wealth.
@@alexwyckoff8962 Not to defend the nazi here, but your critique is poorly constructed. Genius does not mean genius *in* *every* *area*...

In 2020, Bernie was ahead in the primaries, and once again the DNC elites kicked him to the curb so they could install Biden. In 2024, the DNC elites told democrats not to primary Biden, then promptly sued the ones that did. Then the DNC elites kicked Biden to the curb and installed Harris - that's the textbook definition of oligarchy.
I believe everyone here in Germany with access to the internet, radio, newspapers, or television has noticed the salute Musk made. I don’t think everyone disliked it, but I’m convinced nobody would ever make this salute randomly.

Fascism and Communism are two parts of the same coin, each are variations of Socialism, yet the leftists idealize communism as a type of paradise. Both endorse censorship, property redistribution (elites seize everything), the elimination of civil rights, and protesters are sent to the Gulag where individuals are euthanized. Both are equally perilous.
they are only far right and "fascist" cuz you call them like this. If you actually check their views and goals you realize its common sense and an end to this madness
Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. Unless that evidence aligns with our narrative, then we will all shout it out in unison so you hear it loud and clear. You see AOC, Kamala, Hillary, or Elizabeth do the same hand signal? Reject the evidence of your eyes! You hear Musk say peaceful, wholesome words? Reject the evidence of your ears! Then everyone shouts in unison "Elon Musk did the Nazi salute, he's a nazi!" Bernie doesn't realize that this isn't 2020 anymore. You can't just call your political rivals a Nazi and fool people into taking your side. You have to actually have a substantive argument about the moral framework they propose.

They're great at punching left. But when it's time to take a stand against authoritarianism, suddenly their hands are tied, or they don't want to look partisan, or the parliamentarian blah blah... All but a handful are beholden to their donors as much as the GOP. They do nothing but kick the can down the road between elections and then blame voters when they don't win.
Tbh Elon is very likely not even autistic. It might sound weird but he wants to be portrayed as a genius and being autistic kinda fits into his narritive.
@mikekane2492 except he turned around and did it a second time, and the SECOND time he did the full thing, not the sloppy one everyone talks about. The first one he puts his open palm on this chest which I agree is really just an awkward gesture. but if you look at the videos when he turns around and does it a second time it was palm down with thumb on the chest, into palm down angled salute which is 100% the bad salute. If he did it sloppy both times, or just did it one time i could argue it was an accident. but to do it TWICE, and the second time he made an effort to do the gesture in its entirety i can't say it was a mistake. Guy yahtzeed on national TV.
I got in argument with this guy who joined us for dinner at after a meeting who i knew and thought was pretty normal, he is educated and has a psychology degree. He said Elon Musk is the least selfish person on the planet. I just said what would you do if you had 400 billion dollars cause i would uplift people in poverty, build schools etc. He just brushed me off and changed the subject. Insane people
@@ChickenwingsinthedingsIt’s honestly insane the moral compass some people have, it’s really no wonder why I’m so cautious when meeting people. Too many people are rotten on the inside.
The problem here is that Musk can _buy_ the support of millions of Americans. For example, he could buy one of the world’s largest social media platforms and boost his own propaganda; he could pour hundreds of million dollars into campaigns to support his preferred political candidates; he could even bribe people to vote his way.
Technically, Bernie tried to end democracy in the US by playing sheepdog for the DNC twice, which is what gave us the DNC's "pied piper candidate" in the place, so I'm not going to automatically trust him on anything. The accusations are confessions. I wish Bernie was for real, but he's also currently proving his a schill for big pharma as well. What a disappointment.
This is deeply saddening for me to say, but I don't think there's anything Bernie can actually do here - not at this point anymore. I'm sorry, but seems like we seriously need to look into revolts and such.

As a German, for shining light of this with the reach you have internationally, Mr. Sanders, I thank you. Very much. Democrats around the world need to bond together, spread verifiable information and fight against the misinformation campaigns of right-wing oligarchs.
Are you going to fight against the socially conservative as well? Are you aware that far more than 80% of the world is socially conservative? Do you realize that social conservatives all over the world are generally united by the following things: religion, family, community, national identity, and controlled immigration? How about we try listening to them to see if we can understand their fears? Do we not want them to understand our fears?
What misinformation is that? That the government pressured the big social media companies to take down things that were true or labeled misinformation that later turned out to be true?
@ You immediately shut down conversation with the accusation of Nazi and thereby destroy any chance of resolution. Thank goodness, moderates understand the difference between racism and tribalism and recognize that most of the fears stem from the latter. In the end, as always, it will be the moderates, those in the middle, that lead the way.
As someone living in the EU - it's definitely been one of the growing concerns with the most recent change in the US, given how far those ripples spread everywhere else in the world even when people like Musk are not being directly involved.
you have to be painfully ignorant of publicly accepted history to believe europe isnt the cause of this crap. and EVERY other societal problem on earth. since its interaction with europe that has created all living conditions for everyone outside of china...
@GustavoMaldonado42 I meant that the impact of emboldening Nazi groups in the US still spreads that issue elsewhere even without someone having direct involvement in foreign government affairs like Musk has been doing. And that's all prior to him having an official government position, which is what makes the most recent change in the US especially concerning.
It's like saying,,, someone supports US republican party. Did you know that the triple K also support the US republican party? How dare that someone support the republicans!!!!
Big problem in the EU is how most countries handled the refugee crisis to be honest. Instead of doing it the right way the politicians refused to acknowledge the growing complaints of their own people leading to more and more people shifting to the right. Everything that's happening now is the fault of leftist/centrist parties lack of standing up for their own people. Add to that the whole culture war going on, covid, inflation,... and you have the perfect setup for far right parties to gain popularity. Really hope moderates can swing the pendulum back but I doubt it. Rough times ahead.
The worst part is that even in Germany the two biggest parties are Neo-Nazis and the Union, which really likes the AfD. Like yeah, if (probably) the SPD doesn't suddenly get enough votes to beat them, Nazis could likely be in power again and I can't see the SPD winning.
That's the only thing we actually don't directly have control over. Think about it, everything else like the cars and Twitter, are things we have to consume... But the contracts, that's up to the government. You'd have to press your Congress men and representatives, and achieve a majority, for something like this to be demanded The president won't do it because he owes Musk a favor.

I don't know if you're dutch, but this works so well because the word "apart" can also mean peculiar, strange, odd, much like that little goblin of a Musk.
Elon Musk left SA at the end of apartheid, 36 years ago in 1989. South Africa NEVER had any connection with Nazism. 334 000 South Africans, both black and white, volunteered to fight with the British in WW2. 10 000 died fighting Nazis, and Jews were very welcome in SA - both before and after WW2. Here is the difference between Nazism and Apartheid: Germany invaded 20 countries. South Africa never invaded a single other country in its 600-year colonial history. The Nazis killed 62 million people in 6 years. South Africa killed between 30-50 Black people per week during the State of Emergency from 1985 - 1989. Even in its 600-year colonial history, the figure is less than 300 000. Elon Musk is a bad, foul, disgusting person. There are 63 million South Africans, all trying to move on from the horrible apartheid era which ended 36 years ago. We have NOTHING to do with Elon Musk. He is barely reported on in the media here. The Americans voted him into power - that is NOT our fault. In my 68 years in South Africa I have never seen a single South African doing the Nazi salute. I am white - I went to schools during the apartheid era and my parents were appallingly conservative and racist. I am NOT these things - people respond in different ways to their past. Your comment is racist and hurtful.
It's happening with people Trump is choosing for his cabinet. Patel was picked to head the FBI and punish anyone who criticizes Trump. People did not listen when Trump said he wanted to be a dictator.......well now it's happening.

Considering that the failed invasion of Bay of Pigs happened during JFK mandate, I doubt this statement about JFK being true. However about Hitler, you are right.
JFK would be furious for multiple reasons. But probably most of all for the nazis taking his son and influencing him to go against his own fathers beliefs and convictions.
Thank you for standing up and speaking! We must fight for our freedom folks, its time. What bothers me isn't that it is happening, it had to happen one day. What bothers me is that there is no resistance whatsoever.
Have you noticed that large demonstrations have no effect whatsoever on our politics? I'm resisting in ways I can -- avoiding shopping at Walmart or Amazon, helping neighbors in need, being kinder to the environment & practicing compassion, speaking truth to power & not letting MAGA B.S. go without challenge. I'm not able to buy governments or major media like the rich. It is, however, going to get very bad in America soon & when people get hungry, change WILL happen because the people will demand it.

As a german, the development is really concerning. Discussions with opposing sides are more and more heated, lesser open to actual arguments and tears families apart. Already.
Tribalism is the new norm in political discourse and social media is a major cause; when everything you see is naturally echo chambered back at you through algorithms curating what you see to make sure you're most likely to engage with it, you end up furious with those who can't see what you see, failing to see that they think the exact same about you because of what they've been shown. And who tends to be in charge of these kinds of platforms? People like Musk. Who, lest we forget, stripped most regulation and punishment towards those with violent, hateful or disruptive beliefs, and propagated a new age of mis/disinformation on one of the west's most prominent social media platforms. Funny how that was in line with when islamophobia and nationalism in the west seemed to begin to spike upwards.
Also german here. You cant argue with the opposite side. I follow channels and media from left and right. For example under compact videos or under right wing youtuber channels, you cant discuss. Your comment gets immediately deleted. I dont know if its the channel or youtube. But I have the feeling the algorithm feeds these bubbles. You have to keep in mind that AI Bots are now a thing. They can read your comment and interpret them. I think the plattforms use these to generate echo chambers.
As a German, I'm glad that he is getting involved in our politics and UK's as well.

It means that there are Americans who agree with his statement. Groups associated with white supremacy support Trump, they’re cheering him on. He comes from a family that was pro Apartheid in South Africa, he immigrated to the USA, the land of Democracy and the melting pot of the world and became the wealthiest man on the planet which would NOT have been possible without the help of huge government subsidies and contracts. He has the audacity to jeopardize our democracy, the democracies of the world by supporting far right extremists and then proudly gives a Nazi salute to the American flag and people on Inauguration Day. I am beyond disappointed, I am mortified that this man holds so much power. Until this week, I had only high hopes for all of his companies as I believed their success would be good for the USA. Unfortunately, if that success means giving more power to Musk, I can’t see how it would benefit the USA. He’s such a completely different public figure now than what was presented many years ago. I guess it’s true what they say “wealth amplifies who you really are”

@@damien86 why not? The difference is that rich people represent a tiny percentage of the population while poor people represent a large percentage of the population. Rich peoples interest in politics is usually benefiting rich people. Poor people should not be sucked in to voting for rich people who fool them into thinking that they care about the poor. While I don't agree that rich people should be banned from entering politics, I don't think that rich people should be allowed to influence other's political campaigns with their wealth.
@ With poor people you get marxism, communism and other forms of violent hissy fits. When rich people influece politics they win and that usually means the economy wins as well. Now I agree, it would be bad to actually ban any group people from voting who are adults. I was making a hyperbolic statement to try and match the original post.
Coherent people who are against Trump should immediately abandon the services and social networks owned by those who support him, like X (twitter), Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Google and Apple. Why aren't they doing it? where is the coherence?
same. sanders is such an insufferable finger-wagging loudmouth whos sole purpose is to neutralize any restistance and throwing it under the bus driven by whoever leads the democratic party to run over.
As a german, this concerns me crazy. In Germany, we have been taught at school and in society what our country has done over the past centuries, how we have messed it up, we have learnt to understand, to open up, to support, so this isn't happening ever again. This is deeply rooted in us. We were raised to do better. Don't be like the US.
...and your description is exactly how I, as Danish neighbour and occasional visitor, experience the Germans. A kind and open people striving to be decent, and never let such hate and horrible things happen again. Cheers from Copenhagen.

The thing about democracy is that elon SHOULD have no more influence on the process than any other citizen of a country. He does though, and that's the problem we have right now. People feel like it doesn't matter what they vote for, an elite will decide their futures for them. That sounds very similar to the beginning of every revolution and period of chaos in human history.
The fact that Musk supports the AFD in Germany (where I live) frightens me, the only hope for me is, that German campaign finance laws are very strict (not like the clusterfuck in the US), so Musk can not just shower the AFD with money, which would be disasters since just a little of Musks money would outspend any of the German parties. Also the Hitler Gruß is forbidden by law in Germany and very much still a taboo in society, so his performance during the inauguration will actually hurt the AFD if they still associate with him. While the AFD is far right they are still trying not be seen as full on Nazis since that is still damaging and would not appear to most voters in German politics due to our history.
Europeans are still asleep unfortunately. 20 Minuten from Switzerland for example published an article of 'experts' that claimed it was not the Hitler Gruss. And the swiss in there believed it via willful ignorance. Puttin their head into the sand as my country always does.
Crazy rich people come and go, but what scares me the most is that so many people are willing to belive their lies. I think some even know that these are lies, but they just don't care as long as they sound good in their ears. I honestly don't get it and this madness is frightening. How can you argue with people who just tell you whatever comes to their mind, even if there's no link to reality?
He wouldn’t try that nonsense if he was a Chinese billionaire, he works for and with trump, the fckr is a government official if am correct, I believe the orange man would have to agree but we know they are buddies, maybe the supreme court can get rid of him
I saw their weakness today though. DOGE vs Donald. Donald picked Elon's enemy OpenAI vs Xai for the computer chip technology. Musk didnt like he isnt in charge. Started picking fights on X over it. Thats the weakness of Super Villains. Cabals fail because each one of them wants to be the Master.
Trump will be looking to play Musk off against the other billionaires, and not just give Musk what he wants. Trump could attack Musk's wealth with tariffs and rule changes if he felt so inclined. Everyone who sucks up to Trump ends up humiliated.
Hence the Rule of Two: “Always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice.” Before this rule the Sith would repeatedly devour themselves in Star Wars lore.
I knew it wouldn’t last. Donald can be loyal to NO ONE, and definitely not a spazzy freak like muskolini. Trump is an old school bully, you shove the freak in a locker and feel good the rest of the day. Now the nerd has money and control of Pennsylvania voting machines- but now the Don doesn’t need those things. There can only be one king.
To be frank, Elon's company cannot be called an AI company. How many paper has Elon's company published? How many open benchmark of automatic driving has he completed? Anyone now can build a chatbot using LLama in a few minutes and I don't see Musk doing any actual thing. Or don't forget when he said he had made human immortal in his so-called research firm "neuralink". He is a fraud from the beginning. He should be arrested for business fraud a long time ago.

Musk spoke at an AfD rally via videochat, and he joked: "Can you hear me? If you hear me, I don't know, raise your arm or something." Met with applause. They understand each other. Yes, he's a nzi. He took his mask off when he did the Htler salute, and now he's putting it back on halfway, kind of dangling from his ear, and trying to tell you you didn't see his true face there.

Yeah, seems like age doesn't affect everyone the same way if affects Biden. Trump was very articulate during that mini press thing he did earlier today. Senator Sanders has always been very on point, and very well spoken.
Then you need to go watch a real salute happening in real time, and the clip of Musk again, side by side. Not compare a picture to it. They are CLEARLY different. But you won't do that.

You hit the nail on the head when you said coherent, and therein lies the problem. You're not going to find any coherent thinkers in that bunch
I am a German and i am in deep distress of what is going on. Seeing such a person of wealth behave like this, abusing all of his power, makes me tremble in fear. I am seriously afraid of him. I listened to many of Hitlers speeches, i read Victor Klemperers diaries and looked at the material from Nürnberger Prozesse after World War 2. Since 25 years i soak in every bit of WW2 material and am very keen on east block politics and history too. What happens right now is actually the same like a 100 years ago but to a much greater extend in terms of people radicalising. Why? Because it happens all over the world and mostly in nations that where very democratic and a role model for man others like the USA. Media and brainwashing got so much more advanced. It is literally what Goebbels (Reichspropagandaminister of Germany) has dreamed of and so many of the techniques they (Elon, Trump, AfD in Germany etc.) use are literally the same. To me the political agenda of new far right populism is a nightmare. Senator Sanders is so smart, like Carl Sagan smart... and the world gets Trump/Musk. I am actually in tears.

Let me say as a German: I found the conversation between Alice Weidel and Musk very embarrassing. She spoke like a little fangirl. She spoke as if she was speaking for us Germans and I find that insulting.
A question: do Germans genuinely believe that Hitler was a communist? I don't want to generalise everyone in one box, but most Germans I've met are quite well educated, and to acritically believe such an ignorant and revisionist statement is ridiculous in my eyes
@@Fronko_ No, the vast majority of us do absolutely not believe that Hitler was a communist. In fact, most Germans find Alice Weidel's claim somewhere between infuriating and ridiculous.
No, let’s say it like that everyone that claims hitler was a communist or his party was, knows exactly what they are doing, and ridiculous and dangerous to do that but as some other smart people said, a lie only has to be said often enough, well than one day it becomes the truth. That’s what they are doing here and in other places, and people fall for it …
Nobody cares if you're insulted
@ That is the language of the political right: in this case, it is meant to trivialize Hitler. It is like Musk's Hitler salute: many say "he didn't mean it like that!" The salute is trivialized. Its evil symbolism is taken away.
Also, the big problem is spineless politicians who bend in fear of being replaced in primaries, intead of standing against the oligarchy.
The thing is the big corps have too much influence for 1 voice to make a difference; it's much easier for them to witchhunt your message and gaslight the population into thinking you're wrong than passing the right message along to enough people to tip the scale in your favour. Look into Jeremy Corbyn's time in politics if you want a good example
That's what politicians have always done. Change only comes briefly soon after they see red...
Absolutely true. Every single elected Republican is only concerned about keeping their political job. They're spineless, immoral, unethical, greedy & corrupt. The future of this nation is being totally destroyed by THEIR inability to do the right thing. If they collectively stood up to the Felon in Chief, he'd be powerless. These feeble, weak, submissive GOP fools don't even care about the future for their children & grandchildren & are willing to sacrifice everything for an embarrassing, bumbling, narcissistic fool. Musk only has power as long as he stays in the Felon's good graces. Hopefully, that bromance will be short-lived. Steve Bannon, another creepy one, has it out for him- hopefully there are others as well since Musk's plans don't align with the rest of the MAGA ideology.
And thats literally how Hitler and the nazis came to power, due to the incompetence and compliance of the democratic parties at that time, Im afraid history might repeat itself
Dude, you say it like it's a new thing.
This is democrats crying foul despite doing it themselves. If somebody isn't pulling their weight, then the party finds a candidate within the jurisdiction to replace them, it's how it's always been done. Now it's suddenly a "weapon".
This is part of the problem with why the left lost the election so badly, they cry foul about things that they themselves have perpetrated, it's created public distrust with them. Just like how democrats and leftists right after the election started complaining about how unfair it is that Trump has all these billionaires on his side. Is it unfair that they have billionaires on their side, or is it unfair that they have more billionaires on their side than the left? Do you really think the public is stupid enough to think that this is the first time billionaires and business elite have had influence on an election?
Both sides are equally as bad as each other, both sides play the same games and the elite of both parties generally don't care about the results. The general public now understand this, so instead of voting for the "morally superior" candidate (because there isn't one) they voted for the one that made more sense.
Why can't everyone see Musk for what he truly is when it is RIGHT there in your face
Same as they can't see trumpet for who he is... Fact after fact put in their faces- yet they still defend him...😢 3:57

Fascism and Communism are two parts of the same coin, each are variations of Socialism, yet the leftists idealize communism as a type of paradise.
Both endorse censorship, property redistribution (elites seize everything), the elimination of civil rights, and protesters are sent to the Gulag where individuals are euthanized.
Both are equally perilous.

@mikekane2492 except he turned around and did it a second time, and the SECOND time he did the full thing, not the sloppy one everyone talks about. The first one he puts his open palm on this chest which I agree is really just an awkward gesture. but if you look at the videos when he turns around and does it a second time it was palm down with thumb on the chest, into palm down angled salute which is 100% the bad salute.
If he did it sloppy both times, or just did it one time i could argue it was an accident. but to do it TWICE, and the second time he made an effort to do the gesture in its entirety i can't say it was a mistake. Guy yahtzeed on national TV.
He also went to twitter today, making puns and jokes using popular nazi phrases
He did that salute like he has been holding it in for waay to long.
Musk doesn't scare me. The millions of Americans who support him do.
I got in argument with this guy who joined us for dinner at after a meeting who i knew and thought was pretty normal, he is educated and has a psychology degree. He said Elon Musk is the least selfish person on the planet. I just said what would you do if you had 400 billion dollars cause i would uplift people in poverty, build schools etc. He just brushed me off and changed the subject. Insane people

The problem here is that Musk can _buy_ the support of millions of Americans. For example, he could buy one of the world’s largest social media platforms and boost his own propaganda; he could pour hundreds of million dollars into campaigns to support his preferred political candidates; he could even bribe people to vote his way.
Bernie, Please God don’t let these idiots end democracy. We Need you Bernie.
Technically, Bernie tried to end democracy in the US by playing sheepdog for the DNC twice, which is what gave us the DNC's "pied piper candidate" in the place, so I'm not going to automatically trust him on anything. The accusations are confessions. I wish Bernie was for real, but he's also currently proving his a schill for big pharma as well. What a disappointment.

As a German, for shining light of this with the reach you have internationally, Mr. Sanders, I thank you. Very much.
Democrats around the world need to bond together, spread verifiable information and fight against the misinformation campaigns of right-wing oligarchs.
Right, becaust the left doesnt have its misinformation campains
Are you going to fight against the socially conservative as well? Are you aware that far more than 80% of the world is socially conservative? Do you realize that social conservatives all over the world are generally united by the following things: religion, family, community, national identity, and controlled immigration?
How about we try listening to them to see if we can understand their fears? Do we not want them to understand our fears?
One can conservative. I take that. But the examples this video give are not people who vote conservative, but nazis. There's a big difference.
What misinformation is that? That the government pressured the big social media companies to take down things that were true or labeled misinformation that later turned out to be true?
@ You immediately shut down conversation with the accusation of Nazi and thereby destroy any chance of resolution. Thank goodness, moderates understand the difference between racism and tribalism and recognize that most of the fears stem from the latter. In the end, as always, it will be the moderates, those in the middle, that lead the way.
This is not just him 'trolling' or 'being edgy'. Musk is trying to destroy the world at this point.
Yeah it was never trolling or being edgy, it was about getting society to become more accepting of legit fash
Musk is backing neo-Nazi parties around the world. And people still defend him when he's literally doing Nazi salutes. You couldn't make it up.

destroying ? how
He is trying to do the opposite and you all braindwashed by media arent able to understand that fact
As someone living in the EU - it's definitely been one of the growing concerns with the most recent change in the US, given how far those ripples spread everywhere else in the world even when people like Musk are not being directly involved.
oh no he is directly involved. he's in a gov position now
you have to be painfully ignorant of publicly accepted history to believe europe isnt the cause of this crap. and EVERY other societal problem on earth. since its interaction with europe that has created all living conditions for everyone outside of china...
@GustavoMaldonado42 I meant that the impact of emboldening Nazi groups in the US still spreads that issue elsewhere even without someone having direct involvement in foreign government affairs like Musk has been doing. And that's all prior to him having an official government position, which is what makes the most recent change in the US especially concerning.
It's like saying,,, someone supports US republican party. Did you know that the triple K also support the US republican party? How dare that someone support the republicans!!!!
Big problem in the EU is how most countries handled the refugee crisis to be honest. Instead of doing it the right way the politicians refused to acknowledge the growing complaints of their own people leading to more and more people shifting to the right.
Everything that's happening now is the fault of leftist/centrist parties lack of standing up for their own people. Add to that the whole culture war going on, covid, inflation,... and you have the perfect setup for far right parties to gain popularity.
Really hope moderates can swing the pendulum back but I doubt it. Rough times ahead.
History is straight up repeating itself. As a German I'm truly shocked, that so few people, even here in Germany, are seeing the parallels....
The worst part is that even in Germany the two biggest parties are Neo-Nazis and the Union, which really likes the AfD.

Elon Musk left SA at the end of apartheid, 36 years ago in 1989. South Africa NEVER had any connection with Nazism. 334 000 South Africans, both black and white, volunteered to fight with the British in WW2. 10 000 died fighting Nazis, and Jews were very welcome in SA - both before and after WW2. Here is the difference between Nazism and Apartheid: Germany invaded 20 countries. South Africa never invaded a single other country in its 600-year colonial history. The Nazis killed 62 million people in 6 years. South Africa killed between 30-50 Black people per week during the State of Emergency from 1985 - 1989. Even in its 600-year colonial history, the figure is less than 300 000. Elon Musk is a bad, foul, disgusting person. There are 63 million South Africans, all trying to move on from the horrible apartheid era which ended 36 years ago. We have NOTHING to do with Elon Musk. He is barely reported on in the media here. The Americans voted him into power - that is NOT our fault. In my 68 years in South Africa I have never seen a single South African doing the Nazi salute. I am white - I went to schools during the apartheid era and my parents were appallingly conservative and racist. I am NOT these things - people respond in different ways to their past.

It's like saying,,, someone supports US republican party. Did you know that the triple K also support the US republican party? How dare that someone support the republicans!!!!
The blue hearts are for me a bit misleading because here in Germany they stand for the AfD.

@@havable No war but the class war.
yeah, we should just have great leaders with limitless power.
@@USAviation85 No that does not sound very good either.
@ I'm being facetious because the same people who don't want billionaires are often the same folks that want to make some progressive darling queen of the United States.
The worst part is there are plenty of people who still deny what they saw and give him excuses
yes and those people are nothing but weak-minded trash. they are cowards who would rather blindfold themselves and stuffed cotton in their ears then pay attention to the obvious reality playing out in front of them.
“my heart goes out to you”
It means that there are Americans who agree with his statement. Groups associated with white supremacy support Trump, they’re cheering him on. He comes from a family that was pro Apartheid in South Africa, he immigrated to the USA, the land of Democracy and the melting pot of the world and became the wealthiest man on the planet which would NOT have been possible without the help of huge government subsidies and contracts. He has the audacity to jeopardize our democracy, the democracies of the world by supporting far right extremists and then proudly gives a Nazi salute to the American flag and people on Inauguration Day. I am beyond disappointed, I am mortified that this man holds so much power. Until this week, I had only high hopes for all of his companies as I believed their success would be good for the USA. Unfortunately, if that success means giving more power to Musk, I can’t see how it would benefit the USA. He’s such a completely different public figure now than what was presented many years ago. I guess it’s true what they say “wealth amplifies who you really are”
He even put his hand to his shoulder first, is his heart in his fucking shoulder?
@@Lucian02 yh, goes out to all the other Nazis in the audience
I'm not political at all, but I'm with you bernie and your people. It's so hard to find real news in a tsunami of influencers and information. I'd rather be informed than in the dark. The waves are crashing and the tide is rising.
He is a disturbed and unbalanced man.
Wealthy people should not be allowed to get involved in government.
That's how the USSR operated! It was called the dictatorship of the proletariat... But as time went on, and corruption became prevalent, workers only ruled in name.
Poor people should not be allowed to get involved in government!
@@damien86 why not? The difference is that rich people represent a tiny percentage of the population while poor people represent a large percentage of the population. Rich peoples interest in politics is usually benefiting rich people. Poor people should not be sucked in to voting for rich people who fool them into thinking that they care about the poor. While I don't agree that rich people should be banned from entering politics, I don't think that rich people should be allowed to influence other's political campaigns with their wealth.
@ With poor people you get marxism, communism and other forms of violent hissy fits. When rich people influece politics they win and that usually means the economy wins as well. Now I agree, it would be bad to actually ban any group people from voting who are adults. I was making a hyperbolic statement to try and match the original post.
@@damien86 what the fuck is this highschool political theory?
Start leaving twitter and stop buying teslas people.
Yup. I know some folks that even profit off Twitter but enjoy sitting on a moral highhorse.
Na i drive whatever car i want. I dont let politics control everything i do.
This is the result of very low standards of education in America

Of course not, Genevieve, and nor should you. He's a monstrous egotistical narcissist!
Me, too. I believe he's under the influence of Satan, and sold his soul for all that wealth.
Coherent people who are against Trump should immediately abandon the services and social networks owned by those who support him, like X (twitter), Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Google and Apple. Why aren't they doing it? where is the coherence?
same. sanders is such an insufferable finger-wagging loudmouth whos sole purpose is to neutralize any restistance and throwing it under the bus driven by whoever leads the democratic party to run over.
@@JhonJairoBernal-i3j the fact that those services have a lot of utility anyway, there aren't alternatives to them unfortunately
As a german, this concerns me crazy. In Germany, we have been taught at school and in society what our country has done over the past centuries, how we have messed it up, we have learnt to understand, to open up, to support, so this isn't happening ever again. This is deeply rooted in us. We were raised to do better. Don't be like the US.
brainwashed sheep
I’m a Canadian with partial German ancestry and I back your message fully. Take good care my friend.

...and your description is exactly how I, as Danish neighbour and occasional visitor, experience the Germans. A kind and open people striving to be decent, and never let such hate and horrible things happen again. Cheers from Copenhagen.
My (german) teacher once said: "Whenever the far right wingers gain popularity it is the indicator that the people are not happy with the government". Why this time they keep raising? Because the government did not improve themselves all over these years.
@@themindsojournerMy first Philosophy professor gave us this is our intro class. He said, "If you can't paraphrase somebody else's position in a way that they would agree with, you don't understand it, and if you don't understand it, you can't debate it."
We need to stop corporate welfare
The political system they use and their money are their sources of power. John McCain proved reform could not happen from within, and so it will take deliberate action from outside to fix what is obviously broken and not reformable.
Letting him buy Twitter was the biggest mistake ever for the platform. Free speech is dead on there
Mr Sanders, thank you for release this information about Musk. Why, hasn’t main stream media reported this before the 2024 election!
so we back to 1930's... its brewing
Yup
I think we just landed around 1929. right when the Germans started really getting their confidence back
@@djangofett4879 I think its a result of pushing globalization. Atacking family structure ( lgtv, trans), atacking religion, feminism..... all of that pushed people to far right

The thing about democracy is that elon SHOULD have no more influence on the process than any other citizen of a country. He does though, and that's the problem we have right now. People feel like it doesn't matter what they vote for, an elite will decide their futures for them. That sounds very similar to the beginning of every revolution and period of chaos in human history.
Tommy Robinson is not British National Party, thats a stupid mistake to make.
Thank you Senator Sanders aka Mr. Mittens. We appreciate you!!
Hehehe that photo is iconic
But when the mittens come off... look out!
To quote a German newspaper: "A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute is a Nazi salute" - There is NO other explanation for this gesture.
there are actually a lot of explanations for that gesture though
@ITSBurgerPT no
@@kath1626 you know reallity wont go away because you tell it to right?
@ITSBurgerPT Nazi salutes? I'll resist. Maybe you should try it too.
@@ITSBurgerPT any explanation is an excuse & a part of the problem. i kno what side of history i'd rather be on, & luckily, we get to choose.
The fact that Musk supports the AFD in Germany (where I live) frightens me, the only hope for me is, that German campaign finance laws are very strict (not like the clusterfuck in the US), so Musk can not just shower the AFD with money, which would be disasters since just a little of Musks money would outspend any of the German parties.
Also the Hitler Gruß is forbidden by law in Germany and very much still a taboo in society, so his performance during the inauguration will actually hurt the AFD if they still associate with him. While the AFD is far right they are still trying not be seen as full on Nazis since that is still damaging and would not appear to most voters in German politics due to our history.
The stricter campaign finance laws only go so far, Musk has a media platform he can devote millions to promote the AFD -- millions of bots!
Europeans are still asleep unfortunately. 20 Minuten from Switzerland for example published an article of 'experts' that claimed it was not the Hitler Gruss. And the swiss in there believed it via willful ignorance. Puttin their head into the sand as my country always does.
Plus, of they were seen as full on nazis, they would finally be banned. Wouldn't stop the far right for long though, they'd just make a new party.
@@jakob.k_design someone did a sig heil in a Berlin hotel elevator in front of me a month ago.
Crazy rich people come and go, but what scares me the most is that so many people are willing to belive their lies. I think some even know that these are lies, but they just don't care as long as they sound good in their ears. I honestly don't get it and this madness is frightening. How can you argue with people who just tell you whatever comes to their mind, even if there's no link to reality?
Donald Trump warned us about dangerous immigrants. He was talking about Elon Musk.
aren't they friends
Dude…what? They’re basically bets friends having sleepovers.
His parents
@@eberhwang23Trump used to publically describe him as a dumbass. In the present he just pretends to like Elon
Targeting immigrants and LGBTQ people and using them as scapegoats is the fundamental of Nazi strategy.
Wouldn't this make a case to kick him out of the country?
Absolutely
He wouldn’t try that nonsense if he was a Chinese billionaire, he works for and with trump, the fckr is a government official if am correct, I believe the orange man would have to agree but we know they are buddies, maybe the supreme court can get rid of him
And who exactly is gonna do that?
The people in “power” are insane
Big respect for Bernie Sanders as a center-rightest from Canada. He and his team are not afraid to tell the truth in oposition to many others.
Big respect for Adam Schiff also.
First time I have heard someone describe Bernie as something other than being progressive/far left. Lol
Thank you Jacque! ❤
@@jacque7736 not Schiff, do some research, I cannot say it here.
@@dcliffe8539 why is that so funny? Bernie loves America. That's not right or left, sorry.
Finally someone who calls him Musk as everyone should and not by his first name like he's a buddy.
It’s like a step by step test to see how far he can get away with the currently unacceptable. If he is not rejected now, history could judge us badly.
Well he’s already gotten away with it.
I saw their weakness today though. DOGE vs Donald. Donald picked Elon's enemy OpenAI vs Xai for the computer chip technology. Musk didnt like he isnt in charge. Started picking fights on X over it. Thats the weakness of Super Villains. Cabals fail because each one of them wants to be the Master.
Trump will be looking to play Musk off against the other billionaires, and not just give Musk what he wants. Trump could attack Musk's wealth with tariffs and rule changes if he felt so inclined. Everyone who sucks up to Trump ends up humiliated.
Hence the Rule of Two: “Always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice.” Before this rule the Sith would repeatedly devour themselves in Star Wars lore.
I knew it wouldn’t last. Donald can be loyal to NO ONE, and definitely not a spazzy freak like muskolini. Trump is an old school bully, you shove the freak in a locker and feel good the rest of the day. Now the nerd has money and control of Pennsylvania voting machines- but now the Don doesn’t need those things. There can only be one king.
To be frank, Elon's company cannot be called an AI company. How many paper has Elon's company published? How many open benchmark of automatic driving has he completed? Anyone now can build a chatbot using LLama in a few minutes and I don't see Musk doing any actual thing.
Or don't forget when he said he had made human immortal in his so-called research firm "neuralink".
He is a fraud from the beginning. He should be arrested for business fraud a long time ago.

Yes, I am surprised that people don't learn from their mistakes.
@@sdilluminatigrandfounder3807 so then why do you support sanders who spreads lies about palestinians and supports israels continued [redacted] against the civilian population? what about his support for literally every single war the US has been in during his time? what about him being nothing but a pacifier to confuse any grass roots movement and throwing them at the wolfs of the democratic party to consume and neuter?
why do you not understand what sanders is really about?
Just surprised by the fact that a nazi salute can be done without repercussion as long as you have power. Not surprised that he did it.
Musk spoke at an AfD rally via videochat, and he joked: "Can you hear me? If you hear me, I don't know, raise your arm or something." Met with applause. They understand each other. Yes, he's a nzi. He took his mask off when he did the Htler salute, and now he's putting it back on halfway, kind of dangling from his ear, and trying to tell you you didn't see his true face there.

Yeah, seems like age doesn't affect everyone the same way if affects Biden.
Trump was very articulate during that mini press thing he did earlier today. Senator Sanders has always been very on point, and very well spoken.
fuck 2028. BERNIE2025!
He is much too old to be president. Maybe as an advisor but no 80 year old man should be president I dont think
He has trouble speaking similar to Biden.
@@defeatisfinalhow old is Trump?
I know what I saw when Musk did it. --No question in my mind, so to me, this doesn’t come as any surprise. --
Yup there's no doubt now though.....
Absolutely. Now that tRumpfh has been reelected, the leopards will feel more and more comfortable showing their spots.
you saw what you wanted to see, Musk is Ukrainian and they were decimated by the "not-sees" to think he is one is pure nonsense.
Then you need to go watch a real salute happening in real time, and the clip of Musk again, side by side. Not compare a picture to it. They are CLEARLY different. But you won't do that. You like being obtuse, and ignorant. You don't think you look wrong as long as you don't know any better.
But you do look wrong. And you will continue to BE wrong, regardless of what you choose to ignore.
