    It is true that several large institutions are looking to unload the debt which has been an albatross on them. They are looking for 90-95% of the face value of the debt.

    Musk tells far-right Germany party "past guilt" gets too much focus

    Elon Musk told members of the far-right, anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party that "there's too much focus on past guilt," days after he gave what scholars and rights groups said was a Hitlergruß, or Nazi salute.Why it matters: The world's richest man made the remarks Saturday, seemingly referring to the burden Germany carries for the Holocaust, two days before International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

    The big picture: The comments also follow a series of Nazi-related "jokes" Musk posted on X, which were a series of puns referencing prominent Nazis like chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler.

    The latest: Musk spoke virtually to cheering members of AfD while denouncing multiculturism and defending Germany's past.

    • "There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that," Musk said.
    • "Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents."
    • "It's good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything."

    Reality check: Neo-Nazi and skinhead leaders often tell followers at rallies not to be shamed of their grandparents or parents who were members of the Nazi Party before and during World War II. They've also criticized growing multiculturalism in Germany.

    • Germany has garnered international recognition for allowing the placement of Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) across the country to commemorate sites linked to victims of the Nazi regime.

    Context: Germany will hold a snap election in February after a center-left coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed.

    Zoom in: Musk's latest comments were quickly denounced by some Jewish groups in the U.S.

    Yes, but: None of the controversies around antisemitism appear to have done him or his companies any visible harm, Axios' Felix Salmon reports.

    • Financial markets have been bidding up Tesla stock as Musk cemented his bonds with President Trump.

    What we're watching: The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will hold events around International Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration on Monday.

    • The event will mark the 80th anniversary of Soviet forces liberating Auschwitz-Birkenau, and many experts believe the commemoration is the last major milestone with many survivors present.
    • Survivors are expected to warn the world about rising antisemitism — and could bring up Musk.

    continues.....

    it was a repost by Dave A on facebook. I took the screen shot myself. I checked the original post myself to make sure it was legit. I wouldn't just post something unverifiable.

    It just comes across as one of those things that’s too good to be true. Friend of Elon who knows him really well confirms he’s the worst person is perfection.

    The guy confirming the nod to white supremacists is interesting. Same thing with trump and his "stand back and stand by" command to the Proud Boys. Subtle dog whistles.

    It's believable but it's not out of the realm of possibility that this some guy with an axe to grind. That said, if you piece enough stuff together, it sure seems like he's an insecure guy who's worldview is being shaped by what's left of the social media site he bought. My favorite is the story about how he lost it when a Biden Super Bowl tweet was getting more likes than his despite him having more followers. I think some versions of the story had him leaving the Super Bowl at half time, flying to SF, and convening engineers to solve the "problem."

    Our new co-president is thin-skinned, chronically online, greedy, and doesn't give a rat's ass about the United States or its people. It's really amazing and sad that he and Trump are considered alpha males nowadays. I'm old enough to remember when conservative "tough guys" would have hated these thin-skinned perpetual victims.

    Are we just going to allow him to walk around free? Don’t our immigration laws mean anything? What about the cats and the dogs? Or his exploded rocket debris littering the beaches. Illegal immigrants shouldn’t litter. Littering is a crime. Get him OUT!
