Cedric Hohnstadt on X - "Reddit continues to be anti-free speech. I just got a lifetime ban from the "comics" subreddit. Yesterday I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the "comics" subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?"

Left wingers claim that if you look at the videos of left wingers like AOC etc performing their Nazi Salutes, they are totally different from Elon Musk's. Of course someone tried to claim the same here. Some things have to be believed to be seen
Hitler, Musk, and the Art of the Smear - "Almost 40% of young people get their news from TikTok. They may not know much about history but they know that Hitler and Nazis are bad. It is why the far left takes every opportunity to paint the Trump administration and its top supporters as Nazis. As nonfiction authors of books about the Third Reich, and as cofounders of Antisemitism Watch, a nonprofit that monitors anti-Jewish hate worldwide, we know real Nazi and fascist rhetoric and actions. There are plenty of fanatics who are nostalgic about Hitler. But in the far left arsenal of tools to resist Trump, claims about some Nazi-association are a preferred way of going on the offensive. Gerald wrote last July in the Wall Street Journal that “relentless attacks from left-wing media and many in the Democratic Party, who likened the former president to Hitler and claimed his re-election would end democracy” was language that “can be the spark that helps push an assassin to act.” It was not long after Donald Trump was sworn in yesterday that the latest Nazi broadsides began. “Trump’s Rhetoric Echoes Hitler” was the afternoon headline in the Harvard Political Review... Those who disagree with Trump’s policies have every right to take him and his administration to task. However, the Nazi analogies feed a dangerous and false narrative. Moreover, their cavalier and inauthentic use denigrates the memory of those who died in the Holocaust from history’s real Nazis. Stop it already. If not, the Democratic party might find itself alienating more voters who are looking for substantive policy differences and not the basest types of ad hominem attacks."

The tweet said, “Did anyone accuse President Macron of being a Nazi?”"
Mario Nawfal on X - "🇺🇸U.S GOV FORCED SPACEX TO KIDNAP BABY SEALS FOR A COMPLIANCE EXPERIMENT
In the ongoing saga of stupid government regulations... SpaceX was once forced to “kidnap” a seal and subject it to a strange experiment as part of regulatory compliance. Concerns over how the sonic booms from Starship launches might affect seals near the Vandenberg site led SpaceX to strap a seal to a board, put headphones on it, and play sonic boom sounds to monitor its distress levels. The experiment was conducted twice, and the seal reportedly stayed calm during both tests."

Police force quits Elon Musk’s X over clash in ‘values’ - "A police force in Wales has quit Elon Musk’s social media network X, claiming the site is “no longer consistent” with its values... One force, North Wales Police, said it had stopped using X entirely in August, Reuters reported. Amanda Blakeman, the chief constable of North Wales Police, said: “It is important to us that we are able to communicate timely, factual and relevant information out to our communities in both Cymraeg and English. “This was becoming increasingly difficult to achieve on X as a platform. Alongside this, we also felt that the platform was no longer consistent with our values, and therefore we have withdrawn our use of it."

Dems Explain They Don't Want Billionaires Controlling Our Media Unless They're Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bloomberg, Buffett, Or Soros | Babylon Bee - ""Elon Musk buying Twitter would represent a dangerous new world where billionaires who disagree with me own massive Big Tech companies," said local Democrat activist and vegan smoothie cart owner Polly X. Walden. "Imagine a world in which social media sites can just ban you for your opinion if it's unpopular. That's the world we would be creating if we were to allow Musk to buy Twitter." Walden went on to point out that Musk would have a huge amount of power if he owned Twitter, enough to "even ban the President of the United States" or "suppress stories that could change the outcome of a presidential election." "We can't allow that kind of power to fall into the wrong hands - hands that disagree with me, I mean. We must entrust absolute power to billionaires on my side of the political spectrum, trustworthy men like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Michael Bloomberg.""

By interfering in America’s election, these Labour operatives crossed a dangerous line. With Trump set to take office on January 20th, his administration could pursue charges that lead to fines, imprisonment, and lasting damage to Labour’s reputation. Did Keir Starmer authorize this? Was Labour acting as undeclared foreign agents? The U.S. doesn’t take lightly to foreign meddling—and the fallout for Labour could be catastrophic. @FBI"

What we are Facing. Unfortunately, in the world today, there are individuals who choose not to accept others because of their differences. Here are some of the comments made below by significant figures:
"Elon Musk: "They prioritized DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) over saving lives and homes" - Tweet about the LA Fire Dept. over the LA Fires (January)"
It's telling that wanting competent firefighters means you are not accepting others because of their differences. All "minorities" have a right to any job (at least up until their percentage share of the population - if they exceed it there's no problem of course), no matter how incompetent and no matter how much people suffer due to their incompetence

Brittany Sellner on X - "Elon Musk’s statement “It’s okay to be proud to be German” is creating a storm in Germany for a very simple reason. Unless you’ve been to Germany, it’s impossible to comprehend just how deeply the German people in particular have been conditioned to hate themselves, to be ashamed of their country, to sever any connection with their own identity. I first noticed it as a teenager, when talking to a German exchange student called Lukas. Somebody teased him jokingly about World War II, and he immediately turned bright red and looked on the verge of tears. His reaction seemed totally over the top, and I didn’t understand it until I eventually visited Germany myself, and saw how deep the conditioning was. What’s being done to the German people is evil. I hope the AfD succeed in turning the tide."
