Elon musk salute

[EasterIssland]

Has he really done a nazi salute in the trump inauguration celebration? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ive left Twitter, so cant see for myself but is the unedited video all over Twitter? If so can Germany take action anyway?

Your mistake is accusing Trump and Musk and their fans of having any joined up/coherent thinking.

You know the old saying.
If it talks like a Nazi, walks like a Nazi, dresses like a Nazi, salutes like a Nazi, hangs out with Nazis, pardons Nazis, then it’s probably a Nazi.
Or not.
I’m wondering what it is exactly it would take for some of you to believe that we are seeing a rise of fascism. Do you want a full Springtime for Hitler routine? The rounding up of undesirables (literally about to happen)? What will it take?

This. We could have one of those famous MN threads where oddballs post photos of themselves hoping for likes, but instead of 'how old do I look?' we could call it 'how fashy do I look?'

Posters could rate the photos on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being 'nope, definitely just waving at my friend in the park' and 10 would be 'I have Asperger's, shut up', obvs.

Oh come on, you can't compare those still images to the video of what Musk did. The people in your meme are lifting their arms to wave. Musk saluted. Watch it.

Yes. It's very clear though: mass manipulation.

For anyone who wants a video. The second one in particular is absolutely “perfect” form.

And people who were put in prison for storming the Capitol and trying to overthrow the government are “hostages”.

How much I'd like this moron to get in one of his stupid rockets, f off to Mars and never come back. Mars would be worse for him being there, but at least our planet would be much nicer.

Nothing will ever be enough when people buy into an ideology. They'll still deny it a hundred years from now.

It’s so scary that many people don’t seem to have any knowledge re how Hitler rose to power and what he did with the support of the German voters.

Trump, Farrage and politicians in many other countries are copying Hitler and the ignorance is astounding.

At least history will judge them. It’s just about the only comfort right now. That and knowing there are still enough good people who will resist.

Nazis are stupid. That's what makes them so dangerous. You get a few very clever people at the top who manipulate a lot of people. But overall, Nazis are stupid people who enjoy being ignorant and not having to think. It means they can get on with being cruel to minorities and people they don't like.

People often wonder how the German people allowed Hitler to do what he did.

I think some of the replies in this thread help answer the question.

Hi all.

I urge you to listen to this from a very eloquent and clever young Britidh guy. It's a few minutes long, but easy to understand and explains a lot about Musk et Al.

Please listen to it.

And for those who still don't want to see what's plain to see: here's the flag of the fictional 'Kekistan' he is referring to in his X username. Tell me you really don't see it...

The pic didn't attach in my last post. So again: for those who still don't want to see what's plain to see: here's the flag of the fictional 'Kekistan' he is referring to in his X username. Tell me you really don't see it...

And you. know what? Attaching this pic might even get me banned from MN

I'll stop now because this is in fact freaking me out. And I travel to the US regularly...

Yes but they don't want to get sued

Possibly (have also left Twitter) but it's a much less straightforward legal position so just risks a whole lot of noise without success and enabled them to ridicule the whole idea of being upset by a Nazi salute. Which is kind of what they're going for. Awful, playground stuff but effective.

This. ^

And entirely unsurprising

It was even more disturbing along with the grunt he made while doing the nazi salut

If anyone sees any posts by Musk apologising, saying it was a clumsy mistake for something else, and denouncing nazi ideology, could you please post it.

Because right now the thing that is deafening in it's silence is the lack of response from him or Trump, which just adds to the weight of it was what we think it was.
