President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
No, this is the spin you're being fed... it's not a "Roman salute"... look at the one he did to the flag. Not sure why they didn't show that one in the clip.
Elon has been meeting w/ literal new Nazi leaders in Germany. Why would you want to even remotely get close to doing a Nazi salute, knowing the public knows your recent dealings?.... you would if you're Elon, and you love trolling people and ****ing w/ society. This is just a game to him.
Bro... A roman salute was just sticking your hand out parallel...
Let me help.... that woman in the tweet did a better job of twisting it into Elon throwing his heart to the crowd. I'd go w/ that one to spin what you saw into something kinder, rather than what it actually was.
ok I got things to do, Ill remind you of my first post in this exchange.
and I will even explain it.
maybe pm chezlaw for further explanation bc this stuff isnt hard to figure out
he shoulda gone for the tim walz instead
The moral compromise you have to have to defend Leon here is wild
Here is a pro-apartheid, far right megaphone using a media platform he bought to, among other things, make it a point to amplify white supremacists and white grievance conspiracy theories who now lives his life in the public eye who knows exactly what he’s doing because he’s worth half a trillion and has an agenda to be at the forefront of the public eye
His edgelording wink and a nod bullshit isn’t subtle, to the extent he can blame this on his aspyness it’s that he thought this would be a dog whistle to a friendly crowd when, checks notes, he did a literal nazi salute
Victor, even for you my guy, this is ****ing embarassing and not a hill to die on
Inventing outrage is a liberal speciality.
Context: He said he was giving his heart to the people

yes dude I am totally dying on the hill that Elon is doing Nazi salutes bc he has autism. look I get that you are mad that I was right about the genocidal Democrats but dont let your hate blind you into such bad faith.

‘Elon is autistic’ is quite easily the shittiest excuse to let the world’s richest and most disproportionately influential man not face accountability
yes thats why I thought the reason I posted the tweet would be obv
You literally can't make the timeline up.
Last night, my (republican from northwest Arkansas) friend texted me that Elon Musk was reminding him of Goebbels and not 12 hours later Elon gives a couple of blatant nazi salutes to the world and right wing apologists are scrambling all over themselves to defend the guy who literally just sat down for a 3 hour chummy chat with Alice Weidel who is the head of the German Right-Wing Populist (Nazi) party and who has also been promoting Eugenics discussions on Twitter
BUT HEY HES JUST AUTISTIC
is there anything libs don't cry about?
I'm willing to die on the hill that Elon reaching out to the crowd was not intended to be a nazi gesture.
Maybe we should let generic mannerisms from the past die too. Reaching upward and outward shouldn't be ****ing trademarked for all eternity that is just dumb as **** to even contemplate.
