Musk is not a Nazi and does not decide how Starshield is used.

The person who made this decision will have been Trump.

I beg to differ. There's solid photographic evidence of him throwing a Heil Hitler salute a few years back. Plus, he's one of the white supremacists of South Africa.

Musk left South Africa at 17 years old. You cannot suggest that a child being born in a place means he was complicit in its political failings. He was never even old enough to cast a vote.

He's old enough now. And we see how he votes, we see which parties he supports.

Are you suggesting that everyone who supports the US Republican Party is a white supremacist? Really?

They're specifically talking about Musk, who supports many political movements in many countries.

In toto, he clearly veers toward the views of his grandfather re: white supremacy.

Your reading and comprehension skills might be in need of a touch up if you're actually interpreting what was said above as "everyone who supports the US Republican Party is a white supremacist". That seems like a deliberate error of "understanding".

This was what the person I replied to said:

>And we see how he votes, we see which parties he supports.

And that itself was a reply to my debunking of:

>Plus, he's one of the white supremacists of South Africa

------

So given that Musk has only ever voted in the United States, previously for the Democratic Party and now the Republican Party, how can this be interpreted any other way?

Strawman much?
