Nazi. The word is Nazi. White Supremacist is sane-washed and clinical. Believe people when they tell you who they are, with words or actions.

i get what you mean, but perhaps just a blanket 'fascist' is a better term.
The "tepid" reaction is because there's zero surprise here. A giant swath of the maga base is made up of white supremacists, and I don't think there's even debate about that. Lots of people voted for Trump specifically because he said he'd do mass deportations, get rid of LGBTQ protections, etc. We've literally been screaming that people were voting for a bunch of Nazis. So now, on inauguration day, someone gets up and does a Nazi salute - what do you want us to say?
And as for "now what," the best we can do is fight where we can and make sure the mid terms are different, though after this last election my hopes are low. People knew what they were voting for, and he didn't win by cheating. It's gross, but that's where we are.
Did you think he wasn't a white supremacist before then, when the n word became trending the day he bought Twitter, advertisers backed out after having their products next to Holocaust denial and hate speech, and literal neonazis are free to post hate slop but writing cisgender is a bannable offense?
Honestly everyone should have boycotted it the second he bought it and every other tweet was the n word spammed, or when you could no longer view replies without making an account.
Tech folks (doers, not bullshit finance bros) have known Musk was a piece of shit for the past twenty years.
it's a very fair point. i was ignorant and stupid. now what?
Make friends, get organized, have a plan.
It's literally illegal to say more. Don't talk about it online or within earshot of "smart" devices.

elmo is just a symptom, there's no deficit in nazi clowns out there. What you need is a society that would be on the streets in 24h after a stunt like this.

Now what indeed. AOC and B.Sanders are sending good examples.
Stay informed. Don't forget to give yourself some breathing room from the daily onslaught.
Fuck every business that has any attachment with these people.
Do Not Give Up Hope
If you have the opportunity, fuck them up. Any way possible.
Nothing. People will bitch on social media and it will make as much difference as a school massacre makes to gun laws.
should there be an organized boycott on Teslas
why you would even buy elmo shitbox, garbage assembly quality and QC in general.
Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?
Kinda early, I'd say. Get out of big tech services, protest, spread the awareness, find like-minded individuals, call and write your politicians, volunteer for voting campaigns (voter turnout during US elections was so shit it's not even funny and out of touch dem party didn't help). I've spent most of my life living in the actual dictatorship, and lemme tell ya, getting out and protesting without getting your limbs broken in police station and getting thrown into prison for 6-10 years after is a fucking luxury. So do it while you can do it.
While I have my doubts about the state of general american public (normie response outside of reddit/fediverse echo chambers was mostly 'that's our boy Elon, he's quirky like that and didn't mean it') and levels of apathy in society I feel like it's still salvageable.
