Probably the weirdest part of the decline and fall of the US is that it's being brought about by a 78 year old toddler and a 53 year old teenager.
- I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers
  
  Turns out the meek will inherit the earth was a dire warning about giving power to people with self esteem issues.
- Nah, it's only happening because the people are rolling over and letting them.
  
  Yeah. This is the key factor. These people were always there. But right now two responses are the majority ''I'm glad this is happening'' and ''This isn't my problem''

I've heard that Musk lives in his own bizarre little bubble. And that has been pretty clear. But I didn't realize how weird it was, or that it included an objectively lame 'sense of humor'. These jokes just aren't funny. Not because they are offensive (because they aren't that offensive), but just because they are painfully lame. If it was most other people I world feel genuinely embarrassed on his behalf.
- The point is normalization.
  In places they don’t already own the news, their whole playbook has been to embrace, exaggerate, and extinguish. Making a mockery of it is the exaggerate part, and then a couple news cycles say more dumb shit to steal the limelight for the next news cycle.
  By keeping the news flowing from one outrage to the next, communities can’t develop sufficient steam to hold them accountable, and each new outrage is only a little worse than the last.
- They are more offensive, if one of the richest men in the world, being part of the government controlling the strongest army in the world does them, while openly supporting other fascists outside their country.
  If it comes from power these "jokes" are meant to test the water for what to employ in real policies soon.
- You never seen 4chan?
  Musks whole scent is 4chan.
  
  Good point.
- what does “don’t hess to nazi accusations” mean?
  don’t confess?

I hope he overdoses soon

How long until someone takes a shot at this pos Nazi? He ought to be murdered.
- Apparently he is paranoid and has an over the top security apparatus:

- Will nobody rid us of this troublesome Nazi?
  
  I heard of these plumbers
- He uses his children as human shields

So apparently he thinks Nazis are a joke. But since he's a Nazi, that just means he's a joke! A bad one, I'm afraid, but a joke nonetheless.
- I suspect the idea is to disarm the folks who are still in denial by making these familiar names sound all cute and cuddly. (He's not anywhere near successful at pulling it off thankfully, but it strikes me as the kind of thing they'd try to do in subtler ways through their social media pipelines, where there are reportedly stages of indoctrination.)
  
  I don't know, I think that's giving this idiot too much credit. He thought if the last line, giggled like a moron, and hastily threw the rest of the post together.
  The invisible hands behind the curtain, though? Yeah, their motivations would match what you said. And no, I don't think Jews run the world, to be clear. I just think the public faces of this admin are all stupid as piss, so somebody's got to be calling the shots. That's all.
- Pretty much. He thinks if he makes fun of it first, everyone will see it being silly.
  Why does this man have twelve children and every single one is more mature than he is?

Pound some more of that ketamine, you fucking weirdo.

I would have found these clever when I first joined Reddit as a teenager
- As someone who was balls deep in the right wing pipeline at one point; same 👊😔
  
  I wouldn’t even say it was that for me. They just remind me of how the default subs were in 2010. You could guess the top ten comments for most posts.
  To a newcomer it seemed witty.
  
  I'm proud of you for escaping that. <3
- I did nazi that coming!!!
  
  Every thread in 2010

On discord, someone pointed to the PoE2 drama and the "straight arm gesture" drama, and his rapid fire tweets in the past 24 hours as a Elon meltdown.

I thought this was aneurysm-posting for a minute.

Is this real?
- The cringe is real.
  
  F*ck, I really hoped that …
  Thank for the answer!
- I ask myself that every morning.

Is…. This real?
- It is unfortunately, real.
  
  What can I say but yikes

Dude never left the edgy highschooler "I'm just trolling bro" phase of life.

Um Himmlers Willen, jetzt Reichsadler dann!

Ah, I see now. Elon Musk intended to tell some bad puns at the inauguration but then he accidentally did a couple of Nazi salutes instead. Puns are so easy to mix up with other things, which is why now he's mixing up puns and an apology. It's a mistake that anyone could make.

Maybe he should just follow his leader until this fuerer dies down. Bet he already has a bunker.

Oh, I saw it coming...

Aw, he's a clever little NAZI.
Ok, lil jojo rabbit, go be like your idol and shoot yourself now.

ADL complains about this for "Holocaust something" but doesn't complain about normalizing nazi salutes which is highly encouraging to extreme right.
I've never seen these puns reported or heavily downvoted on internet before, and they are not "oven jokes" about holocaust.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So funny mr funny man

Wow this not a nazi guy sure knows a lot of nazis
