Tech billionaire Elon Musk reflected on his speech after President Trump’s inauguration in January, while lashing out at the media for misportraying what he called a loving gesture as a Nazi salute.
Musk, who has played an influential role in helping Trump overhaul the government during the president’s first 100 days in office, slammed those who have criticized his role as an adviser in the administration and for comparing his rhetoric and mannerisms to Nazi Germany during a recent interview on Fox’s “My View with Lara Trump.”
The Fox host — also the president’s daughter-in-law — invoked the billionaire’s childhood in South Africa amid the Apartheid regime when asking how he felt about the comparisons. “Well, I mean, look, it’s a relentless propaganda campaign, which obviously President Trump has experienced for a very long time, 20 years, maybe longer,” he said in the interview, set to air Saturday evening. “And politics is a blood sport, so they’re going to come up with whatever attacks they can to destroy the public perception of someone.”
“Now, obviously, I’ve not harmed anyone in my life, so it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi,” the Tesla CEO added, while defending Trump against similar attacks.

He can't handle the truth. He's a foaming at the mouth psychopath. He even said this -
“We’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on,” Musk said, borrowing the term from Gad Saad, a Canadian scholar who is also a frequent Rogan host.
While Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society.
“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.”
