An ‘official organization’ on X is just openly glorifying Hitler — X’s verification system is being exploited by accounts that pay to promote their views, including that Hitler wasn’t so bad::X’s verification system is being exploited by accounts that pay to promote their views, including that Hitler wasn’t so bad.
The system works as intended then.
It makes a twisted kind of sense: if you believe that “free speech” = you should be allowed to vote with your dollars, as in you having more dollars than most others (those who you choose to surround yourself with anyway, bc despite the facts of how millionaires are absolutely dwarfed by billionaires, somehow they don’t seem to see that) should mean then your votes count more. And thus an enterprising little turd could sit there at the center of it all collecting the toll for all that “free speech”. Within that worldview, it’s entirely consistent.
It is only when that interfaces with the real world that it breaks down: bc no matter how much Nazis pay Musk to advertise their propaganda, we still don’t have to choose to listen.
It’s all advertising, all the way down.
Why are y’all still on X?
I’m not. I still like reading about it, though.
It’s like a car crash you can’t look away from
The guy told advertisers to go fuck themselves. I don’t care how crazy or stupid you think Elon is, nobody saw that coming.

An ‘official organization’
You mean the owner? Yeah, we know.
He strengthened Germany’s economy and had the Autobahn built …
obvious /s
Pushing Nazi crap is exactly what Elon bought Twitter for.
Just to be clear for those that don’t know, the Autobahn was actually planned and almost entirely built by the Weimar Republic.
The economic successes are interesting because, other than their looting of the Austrian and Czech treasuries, it was actually based on a rejection of the austerity politics favored by modern conservatives and an emphasis on deficit spending, very much like in America under FDR.
Build infrastructure, build production, provide stable jobs and demand and the system will both right itself and allow you to pay your new debts.
The American model for solving the deficit was based on increasing tax revenue through the investments and the German was based on war looting, but the core idea was the same, borrow money and sink it into production.
The Germans, btw, also extensively privatized national industries during this time. Whether this was necessary or not is debatable, especially with Hitler and the Wehrmacht looking over their shoulders the whole time telling them what to do anyways, but what isn’t debatable is that it outright proves they weren’t socialists.

Presumably from Twitter’s break room:
Well… he did kill Hitler…
This is clearly by design.
Yeah but if you’re still on Xitter at this point . . . y’know.
and what’s elon going to do about it? fucking nothing.
chances are he’s given them a follow.
The site pronounced “Not C” is living up to its name.
How is it pronounced “Not C”?
It’s x. It’s not c.
Nash, that’s stretching way too far, man.
Everything’s relative, I suppose /s
