To explain: The U.S. space program in the 50s consisted of newbie native American scientists, and very effective former Nazi scientists imported after WW2, led by Wernher von Braun. By the 60s, American scientists were the public face, having learned from the Germans, although the 60s' Saturn 5 was still a totally von Braun creation.

Can anyone find sound for this?

This is very interesting for history. It says: Musk's father (often reviled in the media) was anti-Afrikaaner. Musk's mother (whose odd wolflike face is often photographed near Musk) came from parents who liked apartheid and theoretical Nazism. So much that they moved from Canada to South Africa. Political arguments caused Musk's parents to break up (I think it says) before they could get married.
 
I didn't make it clear that it was the mother's parents, not the mother, arguing for apartheid.

The arguments were between Musk's young father, and Musk's mother's parents. Musk's mother wasn't in the political arguments, and in fact cried for 3 weeks after the breakup and lost weight. (I might nickname her present look as Old Wolfie.)

I only read the last page of the thread, but from that much, Fizzle wins the thread for 2 finds, posts 240 & 241.

Allow me to help you lefties be just a smidge less imbecilic. Even the ADL has said what Mustk did was not a "nazi salute"

1. View an actual Nazi salute. It is simply holding your arm up in front of you, straight out, palm down.
View attachment 70128

2. What Musk did just a common gesture that many speakers make. Here is an example from AOC.

I don't believe that even you believe this. But even if you are brainwashed enough to believe it, the people making these posts (like the odious Chaya Raichik) are completely and shamelessly disingenuous

In case you haven't seen it, the latest feeble right wing attempt to defend Musk is to claim that (a) he's autistic, (b) the "salute" was an involuntary twitch that resulted from his autism and (c) anyone who criticizes him is horribly ableist.

I don't think autistic people in general are pleased with this approach, to put it mildly. But it's nice to see that Trumpers have suddenly become interested in disability rights...

I'd like to read more about the science of this twitch. Maybe Hitler had the same twitch.

Who am I calling a name and whose feelings am I hurting? Yours? Because I called heil Hitler musk and Nazi? That bothers you? I mean, I know it does, but is that what “name calling” you’re referring to? Now we can’t call Nazis Nazis? I just want to me sure I have the rules down. Also, like I give a fuck. I’m way past caring what any Trumper maga thinks of me. Your whole schtick about everyone on the left being just too dumb to not see the light on the right is boring and embarrassing. Embrace your party and own it and your people.

It’s amazing how dug into the establishment you boomer maniacs are.

They're just throwing shit at the wall so they can justify it to themselves. As someone who has worked with people with ASD for almost 20 years now, what they're describing (as the reason he did it) is not autism, Asperger's or anything related to it.

What it is, tho, does start with the same letter and ends with an E.

We're not trying to cause a big sensation, we're just talking about our generation.

Musk addressed the far right pro Nazi party in Germany and told them Germany has to get over feeling guilty about the Holocaust.
