Elon Musk Takes Another Step to the Reich

In a twist that would make even the most hardened sci-fi writer blush, Elon Musk, the man who promised us Mars but seems to prefer a trip back in time, decided to grace a far-right German rally with his presence. Now, this isn't your average "let's discuss the weather" kind of rally. No, this was a gathering where the nostalgia for the Third Reich was thicker than the smog over Cybertruck's launch event.

Musk, sporting what one would hope was an unintentional Sieg Heil salute at Trump's inauguration, decided to double down on his flair for the dramatic by beaming into this rally. Picture this: the world's richest man, hovering on a screen, telling folks in Halle, Germany, to be proud of "German values." Because, you know, when you think of German values, your first thought isn't about lederhosen or Oktoberfest but rather about the dark, oppressive days of the 1930s and 40s, right?

Now, let's get into the meat of this spectacle. Musk, in what could only be described as a nod to historical revisionism, suggested that Germany should "move beyond" guilt over the Holocaust. It's like saying, "Hey, let's forget about that whole 'world war' thing and focus on how good we are at making cars!" 

The irony here is thicker than the Tesla Cybertruck's glass when it was famously shattered by a steel ball. Here's a man who's all about innovation and the future, yet he seems to have taken a wrong turn back to a chapter of history that most would agree is best left unopened. 

Commentators on X were quick to express their shock and dismay. Posts highlighted Musk's endorsement of the far-right AfD party, with one user humorously suggesting that if Musk could, he'd probably try to sell Mars as the new Fatherland. Another pointed out the absurdity of Musk telling Germans not to feel guilty about their history, as if he was the moral arbiter of collective national conscience. 

But let's not forget, Musk's involvement doesn't come out of thin air. His previous flirtations with neo-Nazi rhetoric and his platform's cozy relationship with extremist content have been well-documented. It's like watching a billionaire play with fire and then act surprised when he gets a little singed by the flames of public outrage.

In his rally speech, Musk talked about German culture and values, seemingly missing the memo that when you're addressing a crowd with far-right leanings, perhaps it's not the best time to wax poetic about multiculturalism or, you know, the basic decency of not repeating history's darkest moments.

So here we are, with Elon Musk, the visionary turned history revisionist, turning what should have been a forward-looking career into a bizarre homage to a past most of the world would rather keep in the history books. If there's one thing we can learn from this, it's that sometimes, the road to the future can take some very dark detours. Let's hope Musk's GPS gets a quick update to steer clear of fascist nostalgia next time.
