    His indifference to the apartheid ontop of bragging about the family’s emerald mine (which hints at his emotional detachment from issues like genocide), reopening a Tesla factory in violation of health orders directly attributed to 450 covid cases, and his penchant for terminating people over opinions. Between the way he almost advocates for business priorities over basic human rights and his blatant fascism, some of his behaviors align with the hubris and fanaticism the Nazi party was known for. Cracking down on dissent, attempting to direct the flow of information, it’s almost as if we see how a modern Joseph Goebbels acts if he inherited the wealth of an apartheid emerald mine and pushed his own radical agendas with no regard for human life.
