What? What… what…? …??
Help, how do I escape this cursed timeline
From Reuters:
The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks antisemitism, disagreed. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” it posted on Monday. In Germany, the president of the Jewish community in Munich and Upper Bavaria, Charlotte Knobloch, described the gesture as “highly irritating”. “Far more worrying are Elon Musk’s political positions, his offensive interference in the German parliamentary election campaign and his support for a party whose anti-democratic aims should be under no illusions,” she said in a statement.
Look if the extremely jumpy ADL doesn’t call it anti-Semitic it’s a real reach to call at a Nazi salute. And don’t tell me they are in on the conspiracy. Most politicians know better than to hold out their arms like that, Musk clearly does not.
Mildly?
Every Republican and Trump voter right now when we call Musk a Nazi:
I dont think Elon Musk is a nazi. I’ve never seen any evidence that he is a nazi nor have I ever seen any presented. I think he is an asshole that harasses people for his personal satisfaction. He is so rich that no matter what happens he, his children, and all their children will all enjoy the highest quality lives available. There may also be some chemical addiction mixed in there as well as some mental illness.
He and Trump, being the massively thin-skinned crybabies that they both are, will inevitably fall out at some point and Musk will be out of the picture. Will be funny as fuck to see who throws the biggest tantrum.
Hmm this gives that “nonverbal”
I am just asking questions
And it’s day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!
I’m reminded of Trump’s first term, when we all thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.
Next he’ll be wearing a swastika on his arm and claiming “oh this is just a whirling log, a symbol of prosperity and peace”. And also “oh this is just a very black uniform that Hugo Boss made for me”
Jesus Christ - I’ve filtered for all Elon and Trump news and this manages to skip the filter.
It is definitely a nazi salute, but what if he didn’t mean it this way? Elon is supposedly on the spectrum, so he could have done it to show his excitement, without realizing the true meanings and implications. Of course it’s possible that he did in fact know what he was doing, if so then it’s a completely different story….
How is such a smart guy so dumb?
This is mob insanity at work. There is no nazi.
He’s just waving at the audience for Christ’s sake.
Remember when everyone hated on regular Russian citizens for not forming a rebellious revolution against Putin and assassinating him in his sleep? For not shooting every Russian oligarch and everyone who rubber stamped the invasion of Ukraine? Remember when people called them cowards and “as good as nazis” for being complacent and not getting up and doing something about it?
Where are you keyboard warriors now that the USA needs you?
Just sayin’
