The most Elon part about this isn’t the fascism, but how incredibly lame it is. This is the most “hello fellow kids” bullshit I’ve seen in a while, but for being “based”.
Elon didn’t get the memo that MAGA boomers are not MAGA groypers and don’t think kindly of nazis and hitler. He’s trying to thread the needle of being mentally 14 years old but psychically almost 60.
It is kinda making me wonder, maybe the natzis were also incredibly lame, but in public memory that just took backseat (very reasonably) to all the crimes against humanity
They definitely did that with Hitler himself, who was superficially on many levels what they would designate a subhuman – a greasy and unimposing tweaker with dark hair and dark eyes* – but then he gets depicted as a demigod. Goebbels looked pretty goofy too, just an absolutely gawky dork even if he wasn’t ugly for it. Reactionaries need to get a lot of mileage out of German generals and the like having dueling scars (from traditional military school dueling practices) to make them look cooler. The rest I think is just that “they’re Our Guys, so they must look cool!”
*I’m obviously not advocating for judging someone on these qualities (most of which I personally share), merely saying that the fascists made a whole political ideology out of the pretense of such judgements and then suspended them where it was convenient, even to the point that their mascot does not resemble their Aryan chad ideal at all.
The nazis did this cringe shit first then in what 2017 the chuds were doing the same thing with tape over their mouths pretending to be censored, so yeah.

I was just saying how they made this bot have 8chan ideology but boomer parlance and that makes it so much worse. Nobody wants this.

The aryan type. A blond man like Hitler, slim like Göring, tall like Goebells.
