Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X?

This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?
-
-
No they won't.

It hurts when i do this. What should i do.
-
-
Stop doing it. NEXT!

It's also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).

-
But you didn't stop doing it

I don't think the question is if there was one.
The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?
-
Because Elon is a Nazi.

A law to prevent spreading false history may sound good but I fear it's not a good solution. In bad hands the law can instead can attack history to promote a false one. If an inconvenient truth happens to looks like the dribble that comes out of a Holocaust denier when took at face value then good hands may punish an otherwise good person, thus promoting a different pseudo history.
I'm convinced I cannot trust anyone to judge - for me - what I should be able to read/hear. There must be better ways to defeat Nazism ideology.
-
I'm genuinely shocked it was taken down at this stage in our self-destruction
-
Because Elmo musk out it there, I presume? He is, after all, a neo nazi and he loves pointing at nazi stuff sooooo...
-
Actually, he does care and enjoy nazis

Oh yeah, I too hate Hitler only because of Schindlers list. I grew up in Europe in the 80s and there is absolutely no other reason than that movie why we should hate him, really! The guy could do no wrong, he even loved dogs! Hell, he even painted! Bos Ross paints too, why would you hate Bob Ross? Don't hate Hitler, he's like Bob Ross!
I feel like I need to shower and apologize to Bob after writing this.
-
You know why.

Because we all saw this coming after everybody voted for Trump last November. If you didn’t see it coming then you were just part of their plan.
