made an awkward gestureforgot he wasn’t supposed to do the Nazi salute in public in a moment of enthusiasm…
FTFYForgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.
Lol is the Elon response real of photoshopped? Man what an asshole if true. I mean, also asshole if not.
I’ve always suspected this man was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but I was told I was overthinking it. I wonder if the ppl who told me that I was wrong remember doing so.
Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.
A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.
IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.
The most important lesson I learned in Hebrew school was that the Holocaust would have not been possible without IBM.
Nazis defend a nazi doing a nazi salute. Color me shocked.
I don’t know who adl is but this is correct. he actually was going off on the us putting astronaughts on mars because he wants trump to funnel money to his company. He was making all these broad gestures and we are going to put a flag here and here. honestly I practically would have prefered a straight out nazis salute.
He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could’ve been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it
yeah. sorry if it sounded like he did not its just his whole thing went into this america fuck yeah type of thing that followed in lets get people on mars which worries me more as I hear a big sucking of tax money sound from him. what he was going on about would cost someone (cough us) trillions and not just one. many many. but yeah why that is his go to excitement gesture is pretty disturbing.
ADL is a German fascist party.
That’s AfD.
Oh, my bad.
you would think they would be more pro nazis salute.
If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn’t apologise for making a nazi salute.
Is “Thanks guys” the only comment he’s made on the topic?
(Asking here because I don’t have a twitter account)
I remember reading he also just laughed it off and said people are just paranoid and see what they want to see.
A pretty good tell-tale sign of a fascist is that they will never apologize or admit doing wrong. You have to appear strong at all times.
Same old nazi/zio bond.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I pray to St. Luigi of the Holy Adjustment
This is the only correct answer.
Regardless of if he intended to do a Nazi salute or not exposing the public to that level of cringe should be a capital offense.
I hope his Tesla malfunctions with him in it. Shitty ass car killing a shitty ass person would be chefs kiss
Now that I can certainly agree with.
If Elon walked out wearing a red arm band with a swastika, the ADL would be talking about its history as a Hindu symbol.
“Mr. Musk has provided us with another delicate moment, demonstrating the ancient Roman salute combined with a Hindu symbol. It appears that the talk about the AI-operated gas chambers was a bit of an awkward slip, and it’s best we do not further aggravate the division of our nation.”
Why wouldn’t they? The ADL has never had a problem with fascism, they’re one of it’s staunchest supporters.
And there’s people on Lemmy repeating these exact words
Soooooo many Nazis to tag on Lemmy today
Reminder that Zionists like to collaborate with antisemites, in the hopes of accelerating emigration to Israel.
Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good “solution” to the “Jewish question” before he came up with the final solution.
Wait, stop! I think I heard this story already.
Never forget that the ADL spied on American citizens for Apartheid South Africa on behalf of Israel during the Reagan administration.
on behalf of Israel
Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
I’m not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.
The ADL is atrocious. I’m Jewish. This was a variation of a Nazi salute.
Also, Zionist and Nazi propaganda have quite the overlap about “chosen people” and “master race”. It never sat well with me as a kid which is why I became antizionist around age 10 or so.
Fascism is fascism, what can you say…
Israel has a complex relationship with Nazis.
During WW2, the Lehi terrorist organization actually tried to join in the war on the side of the Nazis.
One of the men behind this initiative went onto become prime minister of Israel in the early 1980s.
The Lehi terrorist organization folded into the IDF in 1949.
Now, there was a philosopher who was a member of Lehi, he took Nazi ideology and sort of swapped master race and the undesirable race. God’s chosen people had to be the master race, and the Arabs who lived in on the land were declared to be undesirable.
As a note, the Lehi prime minister was Netanyahu’s political mentor.
An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
Historically, yes.

This was a literal investigated criminal case, this isn’t supposition.
Your serious doubts is nothing more than ignorance.
EDIT: Another thing that is not supposition. Israel was one of the final supporters of Apartheid South Africa. They supported them even after the US stopped.
Pick up a history book.
