Physical violence? Did I miss where the dude got dragged from his vehicle and beaten?
Go out in public proudly displaying political symbols, and you should expect people to answer back with a yell or a finger. A sticker about how your car sucks. Maybe even a blast of coal-rolling exhaust. Words invite words; symbols invite symbols - no one’s throwing hands, so I’d say this is just about how I’d like culture war to work.
The musk nazi stuff is recent, dude could have easily bought the cybertruck before musk started going full nazi with the mask off. We don’t know anything except what the article says.
Either this guy knew Musk said that and didn’t care, knew Musk said it and forgave him when he didn’t know better, or didn’t even bother paying attention to something that was national news at the time.
And whichever it was, it doesn’t speak highly of him.
Musk being a massive POS goes back years, but specifically entered the public consciousness when he called that dude trying to save the trapped kids in the mine a pedophile.

You would “prefer” a “culture war” of slap fights and clever rejoinders? How bougie can you get without admitting it? 🙃

Nazis Fuck Off. Their toadies, too. Off with ya.
No, he absolutely could not have. Musk was full mask-off Nazi before the Cybertruck was released.
In 2023… no he wasn’t.
Yes, he fucking was! Either you’re an apologist or you weren’t paying attention.
Definitely a he said, she said moment right here. I’m not gonna engage with that.
No it fucking isn’t. It’s a matter of historical fact, and you are just flat-out wrong.
Also, thank you @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world for bringing the receipts.
No problem. It’s amazing how people never bother to check this stuff.
The Cybertruck was released on November 30, 2023. Two weeks before, he endorse an antisemitic tweet.

You know when he apologized for it? November 30th.

I don’t have a Twitter, and I don’t follow Elon Musk religiously. I wish he’d go away, but, well, we both know that’s not happening.
Unless you were the one who bought the Cybertruck, this isn’t about you and I don’t know why you think it is.
