Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day and I thought I would let all those staunch supporters of Trump and his minions know that their hero has some dicey people in his group…..like Musk who recently has given support to Germany’s far right party and also gave this salute that sent shiver up many spines….but his comments about the Nazi days should send more shivers….
Billionaire enterpreneur Elon Musk insisted at a far-right rally in Germany over the weekend that the European country must move “beyond the past” and leave behind the memory of one of the deadliest genocides in history—but as leaders on the continent marked the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz concentration camp liberation on Monday, several made clear that Musk’s advice was not welcome.
Musk’s comments on “‘the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes’ sounded all too familiar and ominous,” said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Sunday. “Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on the social media platform X, “I couldn’t agree more.”
The country’s ambassador to Israel said that while Musk claimed German children are treated as “guilty of the sins” of the Nazis during World War II, the government simply wants “them to grow up informed and responsible and to apply the lessons of Germany’s past.”
As Common Dreamsreported, the Tesla CEO and key adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump made the remarks at a rally for Alternative for Germany (AfD) on Saturday, five weeks before Germans are set to vote in federal elections.
AfD is currently polling at 19%, trailing the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which is in first place at 28%. But leaders across Europe, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Scholz have warned that Musk appears to be angling for the spread of far-right ideologies—including neo-Nazism—in European countries.

I find it interesting (not so much more like pathetic) that Trump supporters love Israel and all its parts and yet also support a d/bag like Musk who seemingly is a closet Nazi.
Stupid is as stupid votes.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I firmly believe in supporting memorials to the holocaust but I would like to know why the thousands (perhaps millions) of other people (Gay, disabled, deformed, black, catholic,etc.) are rarely ever mentioned?
I do not have a problem with this remembrance but like you there are so many others killed that are forgotten.
Show me a nuclear physicist or an advanced mathematician or an accomplished business leader who voted for and who supports Trump and you will be showing me a stupid man who is a moral and intellectual wasteland.

You will get no argument from me…..chuq
Trump supporters don’t really like Jews, and the only reason they support what Israel is going in Gaza is because they are white people killing arabs. If Trump asked his followers to start wearing red and black armbands, you would see millions wearing them the next day.
Best wishes, Pete.
Not many white Americans like Jews…..but they hate brown skin people more….and those armbands would appear immediately. chuq
