Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk for making a gesture resembling a Nazi salute during a rally for Donald Trump, prompting backlash. While conservatives defended Musk, Ocasio-Cortez firmly rejected their claims, stating the importance of America’s historical stand against Nazis. She emphasized her personal commitment to opposing fascism, stating that America has fundamentally defeated Nazi ideologies. This incident follows Musk's past controversies involving anti-Semitic remarks. Additionally, Musk's significant financial support for Trump's election has further intertwined his public persona with controversial political stances.
This is the United States of America. And I don't care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal. In this country, we hate Nazis.
Two of probably the most foundational, defining things about American history is that we beat the Confederates and we beat the Nazis.
And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground. Like, kind of foundational to me as a human being.
If you're cool and want to defend the Sieg Heils and the Nazi salutes, that's on you. I'm on the opposite side of that.
