In a conversation with AfD leader Alice Weidel on X, Musk concurred with her assertion that Adolf Hitler was a communist and pushed disinformation about migrants coming into the US.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find any conservative that will admit that Fascism is a far-right reactionary ideology (at least here in the US where I am, I’m really curious about European conservatives too).
Many of them are just playing games, but a fair number really just think fascism = bad = communism.
For what it’s worth, I think Musk is playing cryptofascist games, but it really doesn’t matter much which one is true. This is a fairly common thing in US rhetoric, but I don’t know if it’ll play in Europe.
Here in Germany the current big “conservative” (which is increasingly radicalizing itself to the right) party, the CxU, is taking notes big time from US political rhetoric and they’re far from the only ones doing it.
