Musk should be made to list what he's done (destroy US democracy and take billions in contracts and grants that could have been better spent on people!).

He us utterly repugnant in every way. And anyone using an unofficial autism diagnosis to excuse fucking Nazi salutes on the world stage is a fucking Nazi shill themselves.

He didn't do a Nazi salute FFS. This accusation came from people trying to smear him.

I cannot fathom the power he is being given. It's terrifying

We need to send them Nigel Farage. He is so opposed to unelected bureaucrats - he's sort things out.

This is it, the power he's being given !!

But it was made very clear during Trump’s campaign that Musk would be given this role. So it’s not like this was out of the blue so you could argue that this was exactly what was voted for 🤷🏻‍♀️

He literally did. Nobody is smearing him. He raised his arm in a nazi salute. Just like Bannon did.

Would you raise your arm like that knowing full well what it symbolises?

CreationNat1on · 23/02/2025 11:15

They are all doing Natzi salutes now, Steve bannon did one at the end of his speech.

I think the neo Natzi s boys club is going to implode sooner rather than later.

Musk :what's with the huge indoor sunglasses, hiding his eyes. Strange man.

He's on drugs.

Anyone who thinks it wasn't a nazi salute must be either very dim or a total apologist and I say this as someone who is pretty small c conservative myself (although I detest trump and musk).

itsnotjustyoumate · 23/02/2025 11:27

So is this what it's become, taking drugs and nazi salutes are just common place now in the us government ? Okay...

The more they repeat this stupidity the less rational people will have sympathy. This type of behaviour was what put Trump back as POTUS.

I wish we had a UK Musk to tackle our bloated Civil Service!

RetroTotty · 23/02/2025 11:30

He was a total mess while being questioned on the Cpac stage. Didn't seem capable of coherent thought. Makes me wonder who is pulling his strings behind the scenes.

ThejoyofNC · 23/02/2025 11:32

I'm not opening any of your links because it's not safe to do so on Mumsnet.

But the reason he's in the government is because he was hired to do a job based on his skillset. He bought twitter and overhauled it, cut all unnecessary spending and sacked people who did nothing as a job. The president wanted this done with the government and so hired an appropriate candidate for the job. It's not rocket science.

528htz · 23/02/2025 11:33

I think they'll have a massive fall out at some point and we'll all be sitting around with our popcorn. Narcissists generally can't get along with each other for very long.

I think you'll find Obama and Biden made it pretty clear that drugs were welcome in the whitehouse.

Thanks for that Elon.

I see the Russian disinfo posters have arrived.

Although I detest them both and do have sympathy for those impacted I have decided to ignore any domestic issues.
They voted him in, they can deal with the consequences !

4intheCorner · 23/02/2025 11:43

It's going to backfire. The email address has been shared on social media so I expect the inbox to be completely overwhelmed come Monday morning 😁

If it isn’t a nazi salute why don’t you copy him and do it in the town centre, your work place, or your local synagogue? After all if it isn’t a nazi salute theres no issue doing it in any of those places.

Musk was not "voted" in, He is an unelected bureaucrat. (same as David Cameron when he was Foreign Secretary last year).

ZiggyZowie · 23/02/2025 11:44

I don't get it, If he's on drugs why is Trump appointed him?
I thought Trump was very anti drugs ?

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 23/02/2025 11:44

It's terrifying.
I'm not usually one to buy in hyperbole and have often thought the cries that WWIII was inevitable to be an exaggeration.
However, I was at the imperial war museum in London last weekend and reading the text in the exhibition it struck me that if you changed the names and countries you could easily say it was being written today.

It certainly made me take things more seriously.
