Or maybe he really is like Father Ted in that episode where everyone thinks he's a racist and he's gesticulating at his window and which has a speck of dirt on it so from a distance it looks like he's gone full Hitler. So, yeah, maybe that's it because according to those who are all "haters gonna hate" because they think the sun shines out of the massive arseholes of the far right, we're all idiots who don't know what we saw, so it's far more likely that Musk went a bit Father Ted than the man who thinks Nigel Farage isn't right wing enough because he doesn't support Tommy Robinson did something a little bit Nazi.

Do you really think it doesn't look like a nazi salute?

Because I wasn't a hater.

I really liked Elon musk. I was a fan. I loved all his technology innovations

And I think it looks like a nazi salute.

I can’t believe how many posts I saw on X saying it wasn’t a nazi salute 🤦‍♀️ so many apologists.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows that was a nazi salute

I agree. I mean it was such an obvious one.

And he does it facing one way. Then turns and does it facing another way.

Doing it once could have been an accident. But he does it twice

The Democrats have been in power for at least half of the last decade, they need to look at why the vote has gone like this. Why ordinary people are turning to the likes of trump and musk.

I hate this argument. "The other people didn't do a good enough job of convincing me not to vote for fascists".

I think that argument has merit.

In my opinion the Democrats were voted out as against Trump being voted in, if you see what I mean.

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 01:23

You know the second nazi salute where he turns and salutes something behind him

Is he saluting trump there. Who is sitting behind him?

oakleaffy · 21/01/2025 01:25

Definitely the same salute.

Ah he’s not the right kind of oligarch influencing and espousing political views.? Got it.

Cool story, tekbro.

Not sure where you "got it" from though.

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 01:26

I'm laughing at the poster who said "that's not a nazi salute". Then showed me a photo of an actual nazi salute beside Elon musk to prove her point

And the two photos looked exactly the same...

I agree. Also, I think it's hard to underestimate just how much people don't like women.

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 01:28

Why did Elon get involved with trump anyway.

Elon musk was doing well professionally in life. With tesla etc. He didn't need trump

And he's not American so why does he care so much about an American president.

Sibilantseamstress · 20/01/2025 22:48

He’s an odd, awkward guy. I gasped when I saw it. Then I wondered whether he had any self awareness. Does he know what he did? How it would look? Or did he think, he was making up his own cool thing?

His gaffes will certainly take attention off Trump.

Well he openly supports a neo-nazi party in Germany, so why wouldn’t it be intentional?

I’m pretty sure that’s her point.

Well he wasn't trying to swat a fly, what excuses were people making? Of course it's intentional. Trump is going to {according to him} get rid of millions of migrants -that sounds a bit familiar.

iwishihadaname · 21/01/2025 01:31

Disgusting he did that when so many Gi s died fighting against an enemies that did the same thing
looking forward what swatsanigger has to say about it

How many were in the crowd when you spoke at a presidential inauguration and did you remember to use both arms so that the media couldn’t use it to drum up faux outrage for clicks?

Oh rilly?

Nice try...

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 01:36

Is he still dating that Grimes singer?

StrikeForever · 21/01/2025 01:37

Nonstoprain · 20/01/2025 23:06

Why though?

Because it fits with their values and they feel untouchable

StrikeForever · 21/01/2025 01:39

AfraidToRun · 20/01/2025 23:19

Hes a massive idiot but I don't think he knew what he did. I think he meant to throw his heart into the crowd but totally misjudged it. Don't get me wrong, he's a terrible human being but doing in on purpose would have no point, so I find is less plausible.

With respect to your goodwill, I think that’s naive.

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 01:41

I just read that elon musk spent 250 million getting trump into office.

What's in it for elon musk?

Don't be ridiculous. He has Asperger's and was waving his hands in excitement. Stop making things up.

Have you seen the video? It was a hand on heart, followed by a still arm, flat hand salute. Tgere was not “waving hands”.

@Applecharm25 a trip to Mars

These are manipulated photos, but nice try!

He owns X and boosts sympathetic accounts, and silences dissenters. Ignore X. It’s a playground for Nazis.
