    Do people read this and fail to realize that the “calling everyone I disagree with is a Nazi” rhetoric is the exact same thing?

    Like how Elon can do a full Nazi salute multiple times but then throw out some rhetoric about how “they call everyone Nazis” and everyone just buys it?

    Yeah I can see how they’re similar.
