Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.

Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Musk later thanked Netanyahu.

    Well, I appreciate you took the time I guess but this is an incredibly silly list of arguments. Just to pick a few of the more impressively nonsensical:

    Centralized autocratic government? Yup, see DOGE.

    What on Earth? Because you have a conspiracy about DOGE it means there’s now an autocratic government? Wtf?

    Dictatorial leader? Given that trump openly admires dictators and that musk supports him, also yup.

    “He admires dictators so is a dictator!” That’s mind bogglingly dumb. And last time we called trump a fascist, guess what, there were free and fair midterms and a Presidential election. When those don’t happen, we can talk. Otherwise this is about the stupidest argument I can imagine.

    And the economic regimentation has been going on for a while now. (the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and have far less power)

    Dafuq? Like, the same gap that’s been increasing across the world is now actually a sign trump is a fascist? That’s the “thanks Obama” of fascism declarations.

    The suppression of opposition: See what’s happening in Texas by their team members of the republican party, where they’re trying to oust the Democratic party from major political roles in committees and such.

    They won’t have us in committees in Texas, clearly the Democratic party is now suppressed and non viable.

    I’d say, it’s valid to call these people fascist.

    That’s an incredibly facile position.
