President Elon Musk

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.

He's always trolling. He takes the opposite of the majority. If everyone started saying it was a heart toss, he'd be posting pics of Hitler.

if people are going to be intentionally obtuse then I will certainly feed their idiocy

Yeah, it's kinda bad, you know. Glad to see you're ok with it.

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.

Ordinarily I would completely dismiss your absolutely useless bullshit

So I will continue to

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

Yeah, projection is bad. I agree.

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

I lied

Inventing outrage is a liberal speciality.

Also im pretty sure the word OUTWARDS doesn’t mean what you think it means just cuz it’s all in caps

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.

Ooooooo let’s play the ‘inventing ‘X’ is a ‘Y’ speciality

Who wants to go first?!

‘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

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.

I guess you’re right. Why would I ever think this guy is a white supremacist

genocide. they dont cry about genocide.
