The next line in that playbook I've seen floating around "Gee if you want to ban those salutes and not let people be who they want to be, it sounds like you're a bit of a Hitler yourself"
Of course the man who frequently retweets anti-semites and enthusiastically promotes the German neo-Nazi party wasn't doing a Nazi salute. What is wrong with you people? P.S. I also used to travel frequently to the US for work and I never saw anybody making that gesture. I guess those people must have all had the day off for Hitler's birthday or something.
If you reverse search each of those images, none of them seem to appear anywhere prior to today, which is a little odd.
Probably yes, but again proves the point I'm making, it can be manipulated into anything you want it to be ... Musk is a tool and we can call him on a number of things, but it wasn't a nazi solute
Manipulated? It's perfectly clear what it looks like. What we haven't seen, is a VIDEO clip that shows the others performing the same gesture in full, as opposed to a brand new picture which you posted, that clearly HAS been manipulated to look like they're doing the same gesture. All while Elon unironically tweets about the dirty tricks. Meanwhile, some people are like "Come on guys, it's totally clear what he was doing. He was obviously just suffering from heartburn before aggressively karate-chopping a fly."
He probably did it with exactly this fallout in mind. Knowing that lots of people will be angry/bewildered by it, that others will passionately defend him and that reputable media will tip-toe around it and not dare call it what it is. Stoke the fires, sow more division. Him and his ilk love this stuff.
That day a couple of years ago when I bought a Tesla then celebrated with a pint at Brewdog. Nightmare.
Absolutely. He's just desperate to be loved and loves playing the role of the 'edgelord meme guy' and even if he's not genuinely anti-semitic thought "This will get the internet buzzing"
he's that pathetic he even pretended to be an insane poe2 player, before he got called out for his lies
Just watched the clip and his Musso -Hitler salute looks really crass unless you young ones know if hes just trying too hard . I suspect he’s trying to ape Trumps mannerisms - badly thinking it gets people on his side - it’s like. a 10 year old gesturing badly using an action he doesn’t understand. .
