In general one should be hesitant to draw parallels to Nazism. Right now I'm not sure hesitancy is in order.
The playbook Musk and Trump are running are running at USAID and with the government payments system are the same one Musk used at a data center near Sacramento when he wanted to move some servers from there to Seattle (Twitter servers?), as Isaacson documents in his bio of Musk. He showed up at the door, demanded to be let in, wouldn't take no for an answer. When he was told there were best practices for doing it for data security, he said fuck you we're renting some trucks and wrapping the servers in blankets. He did it. It turned out OK but he just ran over people.
In that case, he owned the company. In this case, he does not. What's worse, we're talking about a man who has had a number of untranscribed private calls with Putin and has been engaging in his own selective foreign policy granting and denying access to Starlink and advocating for neo-Fascists like AFD in Germany. What's going on right now is flat the fuck out crazy and should worry everyone.
