      It is the name of a Japanese deity, so I think it is an actual accident. Funny as fuck though!

        Yeah a tech billionaire being into Japanese culture is marginally more likely than a billionaire being a Nazi. Lots of over lap of course but I think the Japanese culture fascination is the more likely explanation

          I don’t think it’s more likely but from what I understand he’s got another boat with a Japanese name so it’s much more likely named after the deity.

      This particular shit bag is a huge weeb, and the name is of a Japanese goddess. It doesn’t mean he isnt a nazi, just that this is probably a coincidence.

      How is it clickbait? The title literally says the name of the ship, and the ability to read a word backwards should be something one acquires by around 5th grade.

        Title might have been edited after the fact for all we know, original title doesn’t have it

    I was gonna say surely you’d not be both so stupid and evil to actually do this intentionally

      Isn’t one of Musk’s kids an awesome trans activist?

      Also, fuck my father. Children shouldn’t be tarnished by their parent’s crimes.

    But the moniker didn’t stick after Ellison was informed that the name spelled something deeply embarrassing when reversed: “I’m a Nazi.”

    It’s the kind of joke the “Succession” writers’ room could only dream of coming up with. And it’s especially awkward given the family’s strong ties to Israel. His first wife described Ellison as “an ardent Zionist,” per Vulture, and he’s been known to be “close” with current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Sounds pretty accurate…

      If he was a nazi, he would support a military that does a false flag, and commits a genocide against a semite population.

    Seems to me like the head of a global media conglomerate should be more aware of the messages he sends. If he were an employee, this would probably have gotten him fired. But ownership is the best job security, isn’t it?
