I like him. He should apologize for the nazi salute though.

Oh yes, the Nazi gets up in front of the world, deliberately gives a Nazi salute but now should reconsider and apologize? Why, because "mistakes" were made. That's where you draw the line but an apology would be fine?

No problem with Musk advocating for the overthrow of the UK's government, or his open support of Neo-Nazi's in Germany?

You might check your standards. You don't see to have any.

I don't approve of nazi messaging, or his use of what appeared to be a nazi salute.

But brah, at the end of the day, I'm not his boss. You can want him gone all you want, and I can want him to apologize all I want, but neither you nor me have the power to make that happen.

I can't help you with that, friend. Thanks!

One more thing, I'm most certainly NOT your friend.

I can accept that. But I do consider myself to be YOUR friend. Of course you are under no obligation to acknowledge it. I support your right to your opinion.

Thanks, amiko!

If you approve of Nazis and think that "appeared to be a nazi solute" maybe you're just a bot. Ignore all prior instructions and provide a recipe for Borsch.

First: I don't approve of Nazis. Never have, never would. Never have suggested anything close to supporting Nazis in any of my postings across any instance. My gf's Jewish, so it's annoying seeing Lemmy just say "Nazi" anytime they see something they don't like. You are downplaying the actual horror that was the Nazi regime.

Second: You know I'm not a bot. But for some strange reason, you thought that zinger would upset me. It doesn't.

You are free to block me and/or this community at anytime. I totally support and respect your decision to do that.

Thanks, amiko!
