Is Elon Musk Nazist and can he choose the European extreme right? | The ultimate right news

When the billionaire Elon Musk seemed to have performed a Nazi greeting The Republican crowd in honor of the inauguration of the President of the United States Donald Trump, the social media illuminated the accusations that he was a fascist.

When he addressed the political set of far right Alternative to Germany (AFD) Party In the German city of Halle, these doubts seemed confirmed.

“It’s too much focused on past guilt and we have to move beyond that,” he said from a giant video screen.

The audience cheered when he said, “It’s okay to be proud to be German. It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, not to lose it in some kind of multiculturalism that dismisses everything.”

And they cheered even louder when he accused the ruling Social Democrats of accepting the “totalitarian approach” to their beliefs, and ended “freedom of speech the basis of democracy.”

Party leader Alice Weidel He grinned wide and clapped.

Is Elon Musk Nazist? Nazis seem to think so. Christian nationalists, white superiors and avoided neo-Nazis in the United States, all welcomed Mušk’s greeting as a historical return for their thing.

Male public preoccupation on X, his message exchange platform, are certainly libertarians. It deals with excessive regulation and government waste and extends the release of market and individual potential.

He is pledged with what he sees as an uncontrollable immigration and cultural cohesion. He seems to believe that everyone should stay where they were born – although he himself emigrated from South Africa to Canada in 1988.

As a consequence, he insists on binary gender roles as a means of reversing a demographic fall in developed economies.

And he is constantly playing on the topic of free speech, insisting that democratic societies are hypocritical in claiming to defend him.

Controversial, he did on one occasion in 2023 supported an anti -Semitic site at X.

The post was partly: “The Jewish community (sic) pushed the accurate dialectical hatred against whites they claim to want people to stop using them.”

Musk then answered, “You told the real truth.”

Does it all make it a Nazi?

“No, it’s not [a Nazi]”Said Jean-Yves Camus, a co-desigitor of political radicalism observatory at the Jean Jares Foundation in Paris. He believes Musk and Trump are self-service, not ideologically.

“The type of regime they want to achieve is like autocracy, the rule of law by one man, without borders. They have no boundaries,” he told Al Jazeera.

“I believe it is ideologically unconnected,” Constantinos Filis agreed, directed by the Greece Institute of Global Affairs in Greece.

“I don’t see a coherent political thought,” Filis said. “His thoughts come from his business interests and various floating ideas. I mean, which considered an opinion about Germany or AFD, according to Musk to declare that he would save the planet?”

Filis referred to Musk’s commentary in Halle: “This election that comes in Germany are incredibly important. This could decide the whole fate of Europe, perhaps the fate of the world.”

If Musk is not a real Nazi, why are the leaders of the end right party such as Weidel and the reform leader in the UK Nigel Farage for his support?

“It is clear that they want his money … And through X, Musk gives them space to express themselves,” Filis said. “Through false accounts, it can also provide them with the appearance of people who may not exist.”

Musk also plays well to the base. “Anti-Sistem crowd … see a successful businessman who seems to have done it as an outsider. This is what Musk sells, that he is successful and goes against the system,” Filis said.

If musk is not ideological, why does it try to go well? It’s not cheap. He paid a $ 277 million reported in Trump’s re -selection campaign, and Twitter, renamed X, cost him $ 44 billion.

However, the keys to his success did not come from the far right, making America a great policy of Donald Trump.

The $ 465 million loan that held Tesla on an flight from the Energy Ministry of Energy in 2009 under former US President Barack Obama, and $ 1.6 billion in NASA’s contract, which similarly saved his Pace-X rocket company from closing After three failures of the launch under George W Bush, a Republican president who condemned the Maga policy, came in 2008.

Some believe that men’s policy is completely cynical.

“He seems to have made an analysis of money that can earn a supporting anti-Sistem crowd compared to others,” Filis said. “In addition, in a country where institutions work, a businessman has small profit margins. In a rude society in which capitalism is unbreesty, there is obviously a lot more to acquire. “

Musk’s Interest in Europe It can simply be a desolation of its economic and industrial policy, he believed that he was Filis.

“He may see the contestants he wants to eliminate. German Auto -Industry is not at best now, but Tesla can be a challenge.”

If Musk was crucial in helping Trump to be chosen, can he withdraw the same in Europe?

Camus believes that right -wing nationalism actually works against male in France. “Some [parties] Are they so nationalist that they start to ask: What does President Trump may be maybe good for now, but is that good for us? “He said.

“That’s why [far-right National Rally leader] Marine Le Pen did not attend [Trump] Inauguration. Because how can he go to the average French city and explain to the voters in the workers’ class that President Trump puts tariffs on French goods, so for us a thousand jobs are less for us? No way.”
