We can all have our opinion on this, but the only person who really knows is Musk. We are giving him far too much attention over this.

@TriesNotToBeCynical it may well be legal for a person to apply for refugee status but the US is under no obligation to necessarily grant it. Not is it a requirement for a country to provide an app in order to facilitate it.

There is an international obligation to consider requests for refugee status in some way.

The US is notorious for not having signed up to a few International Treaties.

Wow. Are you always so naive?

He's habitually goofy and awkward. His physical expression can be uncomfortable to watch.

Do I think the wealthiest man on earth, and the most recognisable entrepreneur on earth, chose the inauguration to come out as a Hitler fan? No.

No - he's been showing who he is (a right wing extremist) for quite a while now...

Elon Musk has got what we wanted. Left wingers gnashing their teeth snd calling for his removal. Cancel culture. This will give him hero status to billions the world over.

They have, somewhat half-heartedly, signed up to be UN members, which obliges them to follow many international policies without further signature. Doesn't mean they do, of course.

You can't have everything.

Where would you put it all ?

Hs removal from what?

He did a Nazi salute, it's OK for people to talk about that. He most likely wanted people to talk about it so he could get hero status from racists, bigots and right whingers across the globe. He's not being cancelled.

The illegals Trump is going to send back have often been born in the US, they are undocumented but have lived their entire lives there and paid tax.
Additionally Trump noted during his speech that he won Pennsylvania because Musk 'knows the computers'. A hint that there was something amiss there in this election.
As many have already said they don't need to be anti semitic to be far right.
Musk is far right, as he supports the AfD in Germany, his family moved from Canada to South Africa and appeared to be supporters of apartheid.
There is nothing normal about this situation in the US, and there is footage online of far right groups using a fist to strike their chest and then put their arm up just the way Musk did twice.

How can they be illegal immigrants if born in the US? If you are born in the US you are an American citizen.

Trump has apparently instructed federal employees to ignore this constitutional status and deport them anyway.

Here's AOC doing a Nazi salute as well. Or if she isn't, why isn't she?

Trump has explained that he is against illegal immigrants - because if you allow people in illegally you create a potentially dangerous and unmanageable situation for all. Do you think illegal immigration is a good idea?

I don't think Trump is anti Muslim. Who do you think is anti Muslim exactly?

There was this, commonly known as 'The Muslim Ban'

That's clearly gesturing, not saluting

sparrowse · 21/01/2025 19:41

Are they? Can I ask why?

I actually think those are just still photos capturing one moment. I recognise the Obama gesture as one he does frequently when he's trying to get a crowd to be quiet so he can talk. It's like a 'simmer down kids' motion. I suspect the others are the same thing rather than AI generated.

@AzurePanda
It's not going to happen for a while yet. The whole point is we are moving the other way.
What is your prediction for the next five years, with all the right wing parties gaining momentum? We will enjoy our cheap food and mounjoro injections, undisturbed by the deprived foreigners, because this nation was smart enough to do the looting and invading while it wasn't unlawful?

Yeah I thought I recognised that one, I was just wondering how people tell, I can never tell AI, only sometimes with pics of furniture.

Silly to suggest this is a 'left wingers' problem.

It is just about common decency.

Any reasonable individual should be repelled by the sight of some drugged-up megalomaniac making nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration.

You have strange notion of what a hero is...

Nothing like a little fascism to own the libs.

Thank you. This sums it up perfectly. Why is a character like this on the world stage?

sparrowse · 21/01/2025 22:05

Because that's nothing like a nazi salute.

Are you ok?

Whatever his intentions, it must be very disturbing for Jewish people, particularly. I imagine Jewish organisations fighting antisemitism will be deeply concerned that such behaviour isn't normalised.
