Just leaving this there:

> Over 90% of political donations from employees at major tech companies like Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google have gone to Democrats since 2004.

> In 2020, 90% of contributions from the internet industry went to Democrats, while only 9% went to Republicans.

> However, there are signs of a slight shift in recent years:

> In 2024, 15% of donations from employees at major tech companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Meta went to Republican causes, up from 5% in 2020 and 8% in 2018.

It sounds like your definition is "a few visible billionaires donated to someone I don't like"

> broadcasting Nazi ideology and making Nazi salutes.

Look, I get it. You have your politics and that's fine. But if you want to win hearts and minds, try another strategy. It's all just so exhausting and people check out.

Elon Musk is actively supporting AfD, the current far-right nationalist German party whose members have been caught sharing Nazi memes on Facebook with one another and, well, just read about them. He interviewed their leader on X in which the two of them agreed to rewrite history by saying Hitler wasn't far-right and was a communist. He wrote an op-ed in support of them. He stood behind a podium with the Seal of the President of the United States on it and did a Nazi salute two times in a row.

> broadcasting Nazi ideology and making Nazi salutes

This is a fact, not a rhetorical device.
