    More a Zuckerberg than a Musk thing, but relating to that whole social media thing: As of time of this writing hashtags like democrat, biden, obama are all blocked on instagram.

    Finally watched the video, Musk really threw his aging body into these two intentional Hitler salutes didn't he.

    Btw, when I am in the football stadium shouting and singing and gesturing I always raise my left arm and make a fist to be sure nobody can misinterpret it. It's really not hard to avoid looking like Musk.

    The movement itself is very, very unnatural in the first place. It's almost impossible to make this gesture by mistake, especially if you put "effort" into it like he did.
    In the context itself he used it, it doesn't even make much sense.

    "My heart goes out to you" or whatever nonsense bullshittery he spewed while he dogwhistled his Nazism - like what the fuck. The thumb is never aligning with the rest of the hand normally like that, and you could argue you'd have the palm of your hand either facing the complete other way around (as a offering) or sideways.

    Not wanting to dig too deep into what is obviously a nazi salute by a nazi, but if it were a mistake, the only other theory that possibly could redeem him is if he is an extraterrestrial lifeform that only had records from 1939 to study before it came down to earth to infiltrate humanity.

    In fact I'm surprised that he even knows where the heart is, I guess all the abductions paid off.

    He saluted twice, then paused, then said "my heart goes out". The excuse barely works if he said it first and then threw his hand out, but he didn't so nope. He felt embolded to show his colors and the room applauded.

    There was a video of Musk at the inauguration and he looked stoned out of his brain.

    No excuse. The true colors are out now. The US is officially a Nazi country now. Americans are by definition Nazis. Hope they're proud. Oh what am I saying, of course they are.

    He's basically Archer but with ketamine, if he stops he's afraid the withdrawal will kill him

    I've watched the video and I'm having a hard time accepting that he was knowingly and deliberately doing a Nazi salute in front of the entire world like that. It would be such an obviously insane thing to do that I can't believe even a manchild troll like Musk would do it. I'm leaning towards the idea that he was expressing his excitement in a way that didn't have the intention that people are inferring, or am I being naive? I literally can't believe it.

    On one hand, we could treat him like a special needs child, and on the other hand, we could treat him like the world's richest man.

    It's naive, because he is also a troll, autistic, and a billionaire. What a great combination of words.
    So even if, and that's already questionable, isn't a nazi, he did it for the "lulz" which doesn't really make it any better.

    HE LITERALLY INVITED THE NAZI PARTY OF GERMANY TO THE INAUGURATION, he is funding them to win in Germany. He knew what he was doing.

    He's a nazi. Why are you defending it? What the fuck do they have to do for people like you to realise it? Gas 6 million Mexicans? "Oh shoot, I guess they were Nazis after all, weird... how did this happen?"

    Seriously, what is the thing that will make you open your eyes? It's not the OBVIOUS Government sanctioned censorship going on right now, the silenting of dissenting voices, the deportations, the flirting with what is a modern form of slave labor, removal of what the civilised world considers ESSENTIAL and unalienable human rights for women... WHAT IS IT? This is just day 1, lmao.

    I agree. But considering the extremely polarized US political situation it's easy to see why a lot of people interpret his gestures in a way that best suit their black and white views.
    Trump isn't a nazi and neither is Musk. They're megalomaniacal idiots, con-artists, criminals even, but not literal nazi's...
    But my god man, Musk has become such a moron. I thought this was a tech guy who had at least some sort of positive vision for the future of mankind. Instead, these last years he has turned into an absolute asshole who doesn't even know what he's doing anymore. Get the fuck out of politics and focus on your companies instead of making a complete fool out of yourself.

    There is no "interpretation". It is the Nazi salute. Full stop. This is not speculation, this is there for everyone to see. Holy cow, brainwashed much?

    If a man falls from a cliff, he might think "Yeah, I disagree with this reality, the black and white interpretation of my immediate future is just propaganda." He CAN think that. But it won't make him sound smarter in his life's choices up until that point and it certainly doesn't change reality. Things are happening right now that are overwhelmingly overt, obvious and clear. This is actually very black and white.

    It's just like Martin Niemöller once said:
    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me
    Musk is permanent high on Keta but that salute was intentional. He even did it twice.

    An Trump just pardoned his Bierkellerputsch conspirators of Jan 6...

    If you don't see the resemblance I don't know what will.

    I'm not defending anyone being a Nazi, and stop with that 'people like you' bullshit. I was reacting specifically to that video, not making commentary on anything else.

    Yes, you did. You did that. That is exactly what I was responding to.

    Would have been better for everyone if he'd remained that quirky billionaire tech bro who talked about consciousness and aliens on pocasts.

    No. You're doing that bullshit thing of widening the scope of your reply to attack me on things I never said or implied. It's very tedious.
