President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
Have you considered that nazis and white supremacists are pillars of right wing ideology now? Whether you consider it trolling libruls, white supremacy, or misconstrued conservatism; it is what it is.
As a very recent example: Trump just commuted the prison sentences of the leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who were set to serve decades behind bars.

lol who is it here that was didn't have the courage to post this under their regular account 😀
btw using that same logic biden is a ponzi scheming child pornographer, i don't like those jan 6 pardons one bit, but the logical leaps you'll make in order to satisfy confirmation bias is stupendous
Alright, well I'm 90% sure Elon just won a bet with Thiel or whoever that he could get away with giving the Nazi salute live on stage. Reminds me of Trumps "I could shoot someone in Times Square" comments.
Everyone ranting about the libs should step outside your bubble and see what the whole world is saying about the incident. We are literally the laughing stock of the whole world. Well, some are laughing, others are disgusted. Literally nobody thinks its okay except weirdo right wing apologi
no we dont carea bout that idiot video game cheat elon ROFL. were wondering if you will invade us or starve us to death tomorrow. a lot of what trump said today on foreign policy was unhinged .
You wanna know the words that came out of my moms mouth today?
"I hope he doesn't start a war, china will help us " Canada btw
Claire Aubin, a historian who specializes in Nazism within the United States, said Musk's gesture was a "sieg heil", or Nazi salute.
"My professional opinion is that you're all right, you should believe your eyes," she posted on X, in reference to those who believed the gesture to be an overt reference to Nazis.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a history professor at New York University, said: "Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too."

I had a username here in 2000s, but it's lost to time. I just lurk to learn about poker meta mostly, but this is interesting.
The analogy isn't good and seems to deflect from the issue, which is fine. It doesn't seem like you're interested in even entertaining the idea that incorporating neo nazis into the party is happening. These people sure aren't voting for Kamala.
Biden and Democrats are usually horribly corrupt scum. This is true for most politicians with a couple exceptions like Katie Porter and Bernie Sanders. BUT they sure don't associate with nazi groups.
Alright, I watched the full Musk video. He does the thing at 1:20 while literally saying, "My heart goes out to you."
Anyone who watches this entire thing and pushes the Nazi narrative is an idiot.
Dude is bouncing around like a crazy person as he walks up there -- arms flailing, adrenaline pumping. It cannot be overstated how much harm it does to the credibility of people that push stupid **** like this.
I'll be honest, I can believe that you believe that he didn't mean to do it. I'm not personally that ******ed
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are just attention whores. They do a fantastic job of deflecting from the important truth's like climate change which are going to wreak havoc on the civilization Elon is bragging about saving. They are just sophisticated zombies who crave attention.
When the malevolent billionaire thanks you for saving civilization by electing a guy who already had 4 years you should know you are being lied to but to double, triple, and quadruple down that the "smartest" and richest person in the world is too autistic to understand what a sig heil is frankly makes a large group of people look like they have brain damage
I'm not sure why the right is crying foul about this. It's ok to be a nazi now.
astronaut meme
There's a lot to dislike about Musk. But this salute thing is idiotic.
ya its kind of weird that the same people who are cool with "Roman salutes" threw a fit over an octopus. probably best not to think about it too much.

How is climate change an "important truth"? What does that even mean? Of course the climate changes, and it's been going through cycles for millions of years. Human's can't control this, and as much as your political party tried to convince you, it's all based on a conspiracy theory that if we stop driving gas engines and get rid of cows our environment is suddenly gonna be peaches and roses.
And here's what those "zombies who crave attention" did on Day one, including withdrawing from the WHO, which is nothing but an agency of world dominance.

Ah cool the people who don't think AfD is a Neo-Nazi movement are pretty sure Elon's Nazi salute was just a silly ironic joke.

You're reading too much into these things. If you noticed, he pounded his heart with his hand then pointed it towards the crowd. He was just telling them all how much he loves them. He was hyped up, don't you know any computer or science nerds how they act when they get excited?
Don't worry, fear not, he's not trying to take over the world (if he was he joined the wrong party).
Why can’t republicans just say “wow yeah that sure looks like an sig heil. Don’t like that one bit” is that so hard? Do I have to spend another day calling you all pathetic weasels? Im not sure I have the energy
I care infinitely more about this weird tango republicans are doing than Elon being Elon

Because they've interacted with other human beings in real life, and understand that still photos aren't as useful for obtaining context as seeing an entire series of events as they occurred.
You'd have a heart attack if you showed up to any classroom filled with unenthused children that might raise their hands, but not quite high enough to break out of the "Nazi" zone.
