As we covered here last week, li'l exciteable boy Elon Musk was overcome with oligarchical giddiness in a speech after Donald Trump's inauguration and made a gesture that looked a lot like a Nazi salute.
This one right here.
The Anti-defamation League (ADL) decided to give Elon the benefit of the doubt and decided that the gesture was just an unfortunate happenstance and...
Then Elon did not shut the fuck up, made some tasteless jokes about Nazis and Jews and the ADL was all "Well, fuck it, he's a Nazi!"
Then Elon Musk made a virtual appearance at a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany party on Saturday and...
Wait! Is that a Hitler mustache?!?!?
OK, that's just the unfortunate placement of someone's flag underneath his nose.
See the image below and there's no Hitler 'stache!
So Elon Musk was not sporting a Hitler look.
But who needs to look Hitleresque when Hitler-like words will do.
Expressing his support for Alternative for Germany ahead of the country’s Feb. 23 election and telling the crowd that it’s time to “move on” from “past guilt", Elon said the Group is the “best hope for Germany”, “preserve German culture” and “protect the German people.”
Certainly got the Hitler flair, don't it?
Wait! Elon has more!
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything."
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, wondered why President Donald Trump has not spoken out against Musk’s remarks.
Well, JB, that's because Li'l Donnie agrees with Elon, you silly goose!
Is Elon Musk a Nazi?
Is Donald Trump?
Is the Republican Party now a Nazi Party?
Maybe not (possibly) but it is remarkable how well the story of Elon and the GOP fits in with "Springtime For Hitler" from The Producers.
Stephen Lynch has a song that might help determine if someone close to you just might be a Nazi.
I think Elon Musk is just the unfortunate victim of bad timing, some bad choices and some unintended visuals that have the effect of making him appear to be something he's not.
Or...
Or...
Oh fuck it! I guess Elon's a Nazi!
