Elon musk salute

[EasterIssland]

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

Unlike you I never mocked your posts.
I never mentioned offence either, you did.

Hey, @sparrowse

Why do you keep posting laughing emojis on my posts? Is that your version of 'having different views'?

I suppose it could be considered the intellectual debate of the not very bright.

They keep putting laughing emojis on my post too. I don't see what is funny personally.

Excuse me? I haven't posted any emojis on your posts.

You're right I'm not very bright. But I am proud of my Jewish heritage and I'm not offended by trolls.

Exactly this. It's not just the Nazi salutes, it's an ever-growing list of disturbing interventions in global politics.

I have no idea whether Musk is antisemitic or not. My fear isn't that he's literally the new Hitler and he plans to persecute Jews. My fear is that he and Trump have been courting the far right for years, they're high on power (and a lot of drugs in Musk's case), they're deeply authoritarian and egotistical, and they're leaning into all of their supporter base's worst fantasies like the rounding up and deportation of migrants.

These are dangerous men and these are dangerous times.

I have been mocked. I've been told I'm wrong for not being offended by a bloody idiot.

I don't know either if he is going to persecute Jews but I will bet my bottom dollar that he is a fan of Nietzsche and the idea of the 'too many'. He does have an übermensch complex for sure. Him and Trump's ego are a terrible combo from that perspective.

I disagree with you but I've not been disrespectful.
And I take it you mean Musk is the bloody idiot, right?

Of course people can have different views. What someone can't do is say that they have Jewish heritage and aren't offended, so that is proof that Elon Musk doesn't have Nazi/fascist leanings.

Yes to this.

I think the far right use scapegoats to distract ordinary citizens from the fact they are being screwed over. and to recruit useful idiots to carry out their wishes. They have different scapegoats now, people like women, immigrants and Muslims etc. They might change their targets of hate but the method remains the same.

Yes he is!!

Well we have found common ground here

Oh come on I did not say that. I said I was not offended, I didn't say it was proof. How do I know? I'm not in his head. I've watched it 10 times, I don't know if he's being awkward or if he is. I'm sorry I just don't and I'm not saying that to be offensive. Yes it looks very odd I agree. Yes he's a stupid bloody troll. I agree.

Well, @sparrowse,

There's this, from the post where I said that the salute is a symbol of division and hate.

And then there's a second from the post where I put up a photo of the J6 rioter in the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt, which, I guess you find hilariously funny, what with your Jewish heritage and all.

If you have no recollection of posting these, maybe you have a larger problem?

@noblegiraffe excellent post!
whether it was a fascist salute or a heart felt ‘thank-you’ gesture, there is plenty of previous behaviour that demonstrates that musk is up to no good.
Trump will tire of him and his stunts - there can only be one leader- so musk is positioning himself with other groups. The hard right supporters are not particularly bright and can be easily manipulated, especially by social media. He’s just lining up his next gig.

This site is very glitchy, I was reacting to a few on my phone. I apologise.

Famously someone with an untarnished historical legacy.

Did he? I thought his dodgy White Supremacist eugenecist father was a millionnaire?

It’s really odd for a Jewish person to laugh at the guy in the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt. I mean, I know we’re not a monolith, but, well…

His family were wealthy but not the kind of wealthy he is now.

I went to Church on Sunday (school admission thing)and at least 1/3 of the congregation were doing the Heartsalutethrow thing I was a bit shocked at how much it looked like a Nazi salute. Pretty sure none of them are Nazi supporters.

I didn't mean to laugh at that one.

Understood. No problem.
