    That’s not a wink, that’s a masks all the way off flags flying “welcome Nazis” parade.

    E: I realise that not everyone is aware of what 1488 means, but they’re not the one being “winked” at, to those who know what it means, it isn’t even a dog whistle, it’s a full mouthed declaration.

    From the article: “As the Southern Poverty Law Center explained, the number “1488” is a reference to the “14 words” slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The “88” is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean “Heil Hitler.””

      If Nazis believed their dumb little slogan they would be fighting climate change. But they don’t give a shit about any children, they just want to be bigoted assholes. They’re just habitual liars. Pathetic losers full of hatred.

      Nah, he’s more of a $69,420 kind of moron.

      Not saying he’s not a Nazi. Just saying he is a specific brand of edgelord. For example, he carried a sink into the office for a forced “let that sink in” pun.

      I’m cringing just writing this… Ugh…

      I mean, there was already concern about him picking August 8th (8/8) as the original day for the “robotaxi” event. Coincidence? Maybe, especially as Musk doesn’t even really bother with trying to hide his Nazi tendencies.

    Scrolling back though their twitter profile form the current promo I see a few more prices that appear suspicious in retrospect: 9.88, 14.98 and 18.88 for example.

    The article mentions a point of uncertainty:

    As Cotlar noted, it’s not clear whether Lindell is in on the reference. In a video announcing the discount, Lindell is seen holding up two pillows and announcing the new discounted price as $14.98, even though both the official MyPillow website lists it as $14.88 with the promo code.

    “I want to tell you about a current box store that put in an order — a big order — for our famous MyPillows, we made them all and got ready to ship them and they cancelled at the last minute,” Lindell said in the video, after lamenting that his company had been “cancelled” by “attacks that just keep coming.”

    If you actually check my 14.98 link above there and follow through to the website both promo sites, the old https://www.mypillow.com/r251 from Sept 10 and now https://www.mypillow.com/r277 link to the same video hosted on vimeo https://vimeo.com/1008571598 title “video-output-2A900B79-65FC-44FB-8C21-E348491689FB” uploaded Sept 11, so they made the video with 14.98 first, and now just reused it even though they updated the sales price to 14.88

    Nazis deserve to sleep on the worst pillow humanity has yet to devise, so in a way I’m kind of ok with this?
