Damn I was expecting some kind of heated hot-take laden debate about the recent events with Israel, which would have been bad enough for him to throw his two cents into, but dude completely exceeded my expectations in the worst way by straight up praising Hitler out of the blue while givng the nod to white supremacy.

So now that he's actually showed his hand we can start unironically calling Elon a Nazi now right? I remember people calling him that just to insult him in the past and his personal cult brigade coming to his defense. Let's see them try and do that now.
