The only difference between Musk and the Nazis is the Nazis actually made decent cars.

But Musk had the genius level of vision to turn his vehicles into ovens for incinerating the occupants.

u/BiggestFlower Mar 06 '25

I bet the original Nazis wish their incineration ovens had wheels. So cool, and convenient.

u/insane_contin Mar 06 '25

You know who else has mobile incinerators? Russia. Wonder how long before Musk gets a contract for those.

u/EmotionalJoystick Mar 07 '25

Actually the first mass killings done by the Nazis were done via mobile units.

Makes me wonder how comfortable the Las Vegas PD and their SWAT team are going to be rolling around in those things. Is getting flambéed by their own equipment covered by their insurance?

If Krasnov is putting in death penalty for anyone who kills cops, and the Tesla kills a cop, does the Tesla get put to death?

They also didn't dress like a bunch of mall ninja edgelords.

The Nazis wore designer suits from Hugo Boss, Elon wears your-design-here t-shirts from the Internet.

u/Recipe_Freak Oregon Mar 06 '25

Musk's shirts probably cost $3,000. He's already proven he doesn't have any idea how effectively to save money.

u/The_BeardedClam Mar 06 '25

Don't forget the Hugo Boss uniforms too, never has evil looked so good.

The Twitter guy and the apprentice host on the other hand, not so much.

u/YouJabroni44 Colorado Mar 07 '25

The Nazis at least knew how to make door handles. Not that I care much for those assholes.

I have a Model S that I've had for nine years. It still runs great. I never would have bought it if I could go back, but I can't. That's only to say, Tesla did make decent cars, although I heard the more recent models are much worse, seemingly due to cutting a bunch of corners in order to make them cheaper.

u/fillemagique Mar 07 '25

I see that a bunch of people in the same position and changing the decals on their Teslas to other brands!

4

u/QueenOfNZ Mar 06 '25

I do think it’s a shame that Tesla the company have been tarred with the same brush as Musk. By all accounts they were great till they got all Musked up.

And yeah no judgement at all to Tesla drivers, I’m all for boycotting brands but it’s pretty hard for most people to just up and sell a car because the owner of the company is a douche.

u/allanbc Mar 07 '25

I figured that if I sell my car, someone else will just be driving it anyway. I don't see how that hurts Musk or Tesla at all.

u/FreeWinter15 27d ago

I'm not criticizing your choice - but there's definitely something symbolic about trading it in at a dealer, where it faces the opportunity to spend the rest of its life fading under the sun in a parking lot, ignored. Poor car.

This is the most underrated comment of the day!!!!

u/trdtacomapro 26d ago

Nazis made dogshit like they still do today.

u/11Kram Mar 07 '25

But the Nazis didn't give a single VW Beetle to all those who saved up for them in the official scheme.

u/CliffBoothVSBruceLee Mar 07 '25

The VW "Thing"? Hahaha

That and Elon is a good father who gets lots of sex. I don't know if the Nazi got a lot of sex.

It's a joke. Of course I don't like the twitter guy

sadly they were all in vitro fertilized as a botched penis enlargement surgery left musky's dangler lookin like one of those japanese hotdog octopuses

u/unctuous_homunculus Mar 07 '25

I wouldn't say using your kid as a human shield against snipers is exactly being a good father, but he has probably had sex a lot. At least 8 times that we can be reasonably sure about.

u/SapperTed Mar 06 '25

I know right. Him building all those concentration camps. The mass military might parades, the anti Jewish propaganda (oops that’s your deal now! Go Palestine and terrorist!!), the confiscation of businesses and property owned by Jews, the recruitment of the Palestinians to be another force against the Jews (damn, I’m sorry I keep mixing you up with the Nazis), the creation of a socialist society whereas government owns the businesses (shit. I keep mixing this stuff up. That’s what Bernie and Warren want) and the military invasion of neighbouring countries.

u/KeyserSoze311 Mar 06 '25

Just so we’re clear, you’re saying that Musk is responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews?
