President Elon Musk

He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly

The answer was definitely all 3.

It warms my heart to see all of the subreddits on reddit banning links to twitter. Reddit is a big reason for their wide reach. This is going to really hurt them and be a huge boost to Bluesky.

I wonder if it's just a coincidence that X is just a sans serif swastika.

i'm actually laughing at this. thanks Gorgo, you made my day.

Telling.

Its also telling that you think its wrong to be angry at nazi salutes, racism, misogyny, and reduced human rights but its okay to be angry about things like empathy, sexual identity, suit color, skin color, books, equity and inclusion....

Telling indeed

You seem to struggle with continuity, like every day you log in and post in a new vacuum where previous posts dont matter, but people do remember the opinions you've expressed before and thats why they don't have any patience for your nonsense

You've hit the nail on the head. I'm not very certain it was unintentional, but it certainly could've been. But this is exactly why he won't explicitly denounce it and why it's such a stark contrast to AOC's denouncing. I don't think it's that these dfs in the thread know that's why he won't do it, they just aren't sophisticated enough mentally to understand what's actually happening. I tried to get them to consider the why several times, but it's like talking to a parrot. They only know a few p

It is very possible that Elon knew exactly what he was doing and did it not because he is a Nazi or anything to do with Nazi-ism. He easily could have done it just to be obnoxious. He is basically a big, immature child. Children do all kinds of things to get attention, or just because they felt like it. Children on drugs, with all the $$$ in the world? Who the **** knows what they'd do.

That's actually my leading theory. He did it just to be a dickhole.

And how they don't see that this drives people away I'll never know. Always complaining about some injustice. They can't wait to say nazi, fascist, etc. If they haven't learned by now they never will.

I understand that it drives people away. It's just that Trump is significantly worse, so the correct choice was whoever was on the other side. In this case, Harris/Walz.

Or he didn't. But now he will refuse to clarify just to be the ******* he is. It should not be any skin off of anyone's nose to say, "I'm not a Nazi." But Elon is a ****ing child.


I looked up Hitler doing the nazi salute and looked at Elon doing his hand wave.

Much ado about nothing.


Lots of personal attacks in thread. I did it a few times in response. Shameful to stoop to that level. Apologies.

Hes basically signaling his power level to the far right chuds hes been grooming the last two years on twitter

like talking to a parrot.
They only know a few phrases,
but they know them really well.

I can't imagine a more "I didn't listen to you and now I'm going to talk past you" message to send

Nobody is calling "everyone hitler" but its a nice strawman that his listeners will eat up.


Joe Rogan can eat a bag of them ftr


Here are videos of the photo examples the derposphere wanted you to believe resembled nazi salutes

Just totally honest people telling the truth


by housenuts k

Who did it better?

1) elon
2) aoc
3) coordi's avatar

A jovial Walz has entered the race

A fierce swift

But seriously, this

As I pointed in my last post. The habitually hysterical will keep on keeping on but there has been a massive shift

Trump has been convicted of seven hundred thousand felonies, is a convicted sex offender, impeached, a racist, an insurrectionist, a fascist etc.... Nobody (normal) cares about the hysterical BS any more. He won in a landslide. He won the popular vote. He picked up votes with minorities.

Democrats like Gabbard and RFK joined the campaign

Across major sports everyone is celebrating with the trump dance

He got snoop dog, dawg

How hard is it to have a normal take? Like oh wow Elon is such a socially awkward dork that he's bouncing around Trump like some makeawishkid for months and now he's throwing nazi salutes with absolutely no clue how embarrassing all of this is. Let's be honest, if elon did this at a Harris event the left would be attacking people for making fun of his autism

You must've missed the campaign trail and the repeated refrain from the Democrats of Trump/GOP = Hitler/Nazi

While I don't agree with everything as stated, there's things in there I agree with, even though I have a number of issues with Rogan in general. But if this clip was meant only in the context provided, he misses a rather major component of this - that Elon is also being an *******, and with a far, far bigger platform than almost anyone. If he has also called out Elon for his role, that's great, but I have my doubts.

Perhaps if this costs Elon enough money on X, he'll finally say something productive about it. Or not.


Holy **** the walz example. Finally one single example that even slightly resembles a sig heil. Good job, we found one that is kind of close

Its more than fair to point out that calling Democrats "vermin" and that he will deliver "revenge" and "retribution" to the "scum" is distinctly fascist rhetoric

Then you guys find one example of a small publication calling him Hitler and pretend thats "everyone".

There is very little that is genuine in the messaging from the right. Endless outrage and victimhood.

Much ado about nothing.

the same people that supported giving billions in heavy weaponry to actual Neo-Nazis in Ukraine and mass murdering children in a concentration camp in Palestine are upset about the hand gestures of a Colonial Emerald mine scion.

its the perfect encapsulation of America.

Admittedly I've only skimmed most of the recent posts.... but why does it matter?

Literally zero of the people shown are doing a nazi salute, including Elon. The outrage from outrage merchants like AOC is to be expected since she can gain from it. Otherwise the drama around this is just people demonstrating low intelligence

Harris/Walz may have been a better choice....but not because of this Elon thing.
