    That’s not a wink, that’s a masks all the way off flags flying “welcome Nazis” parade.

    E: I realise that not everyone is aware of what 1488 means, but they’re not the one being “winked” at, to those who know what it means, it isn’t even a dog whistle, it’s a full mouthed declaration.

    From the article: “As the Southern Poverty Law Center explained, the number “1488” is a reference to the “14 words” slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The “88” is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean “Heil Hitler.””

      If Nazis believed their dumb little slogan they would be fighting climate change. But they don’t give a shit about any children, they just want to be bigoted assholes. They’re just habitual liars. Pathetic losers full of hatred.

      Nah, he’s more of a $69,420 kind of moron.

      Not saying he’s not a Nazi. Just saying he is a specific brand of edgelord. For example, he carried a sink into the office for a forced “let that sink in” pun.

      I’m cringing just writing this… Ugh…

      I mean, there was already concern about him picking August 8th (8/8) as the original day for the “robotaxi” event. Coincidence? Maybe, especially as Musk doesn’t even really bother with trying to hide his Nazi tendencies.
