So so worrying. What do Americans think of Musk doing that salute?

Watching the news tonight I feel sick and such a profound sense of sadness.

This really feels like a horrible turning point. Watching Elon do that salute. Watching him signing these executive the executive orders in public like it's a spectacle.

All we can do is fight tooth and nail to make sure this doesn't happen here.

there was no salute.
Fake news BS

@shayri so naive

IkeaJesusChrist · 20/01/2025 22:27

Unless I've taken a mushroom there were two salutes.

Trump was found guilty of Sexual Abuse in a trial jury of his peers . He pointed out the victim as his wife at the time Marla Maples in a photo .
He was in a separate case he was convicted of 34 counts of tax fraud . He is a convicted felon . It’s that simple . I am from NY and he has been guilty of so much for so long and has gotten away with it .This man deserves prison but a bunch of naive Americans bought his schtick and now he can avoid it by being Felon in Chief !

Oh dear, give up now. Trump won, the Creepy Bidens have have gone, all will be ok now

Yup.

I thought for sure it was an unfortunate snapshot photo. And then a gif that was being twisted.

Then I watched the video. What. The. Fuck.

I can't engage with it, the US made their bed, let them lie in it, laughing stock of the world

Maybe but not as severely as the US obviously.

Given the US is the single largest economic and military power in the world, I would disagree.

When I was growing up, documentaries and newsclips, often referenced and featured footage of Nuremberg rallies or the 33 Olympics and the audience, including me, would wonder "how the hell did that happen? All those people. How?" And there would generally be an assurance that this could never happen again. But apparently it can. I'm hoping the techbros are just joking and will stage a coup. Not happening though.

Nothing is more creepy than a convicted felon and and one with a sexual assault conviction . Someone who was impeached 2x . Incited an insurrection ! No it will not be ok . He is my President and I will now have to explain that garbage away the next 4 years . We have Musk giving Nazi salutes ( 3x ) already . I do not need more of his crazy Thank You Very Much !!!

I went to the rally grounds at Nuremberg a couple of years ago and felt sick to my stomach, as did everyone else in our party. It was eerie and sobering.

That's how today feels, too. Sickening.

@izimbra

Which just shows how much their hatred of transgender women has fcked with their value system, that so many of them have raised their voices in support of the fascist, openly misogynist adjudicated rapist Trump, because of the Republicans enthusiasm for persecuting transgender people.*

(Referring to GC feminists) - so true. They say, though, they only support him for this one thing but not anything else, plus they don't live in the US so what does it matter? It matters. The UK - and other countries - are seeing a slide to the Right. This is engineered via all forms of media, primarily social media. Support DT/the Right on this, and the Left everywhere becomes the enemy. We've seen this.

Many horrified but there are some excusing it with some ridiculous excuses . Wish he would do that in Germany so he could get tossed in jail !!!

MyNameIsX · 21/01/2025 05:31

Donald Trump reinstates Winston Churchill bust in Oval Office.

That will wind up old knee-bender, Starmer.

I’m not a fan of Musk, but this talk of him doing a Nazi salute is nonsense…

  1. He put his hand over his heart.
  2. He then threw his hand out to the audience as a gesture of love for voting Trump while saying thank you.

That’s it. Over-interpreting what’s clearly an exuberant act of a socially awkward individual to reinforce the demonisation of the “other side” is totally counterproductive.

Quite so.

At least we shall have no more of the knee-bending nonsense.
