Now correct if I'm wrong but did the Nazi's ever say '' my heart goes out to you'' when doing their thing?Can you not see the difference between this Ancient Roman Salute vs The Elon Musk Salute?
Look at the fist of the Ancient Roman and see how it is SHUT, while Musk has a the Palm of His hand FLAT on his chest.
Then Musk replicates the Hitler Salute.
As usual, nice try oracle, but really that is a poor, poor excuse!!
Irrespective of what Musk did or did not say, that gesture of his did mimic a Nazi salute.Now correct if I'm wrong but did the Nazi's ever say '' my heart goes out to you'' when doing their thing?
Susie Wiles won't like this however...They most likely will not let him speak again anytime soon.
swastika is an ancient Indian sign. And he wears it from all his heart!
Did not realize that Musk had an ancient Indian Connection, except that I believe the Sacred Indian Hindu Symbol is a Swastik!!swastika is an ancient Indian sign. And he wears it from all his heart!
Well what he said attaches to his intent...He claims to be thanking his audience for their support.Irrespective of what Musk did or did not say, that gesture of his did mimic a Nazi salute.
There are several other ways of thanking an audience, but that kind of gesture that the far right Neo-Nazis have adopted is definitely inappropriate!!Well what he said attaches to his intent...He claims to be thanking his audience for their support.
He sparked an outcry in November, including from the White House, when he responded on X to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and professing indifference to antisemitism by posting, "You have said the actual truth." He later apologized for the comment, calling it the "dumbest" post that he's ever done.
If he sets up concentration camps and start rounding up people, be afraid, be very afraid!It wouldn't surprise me if the next step is for Trump to sign an Executive Order decreeing that using the N word is enshrined in the 1st amendment as freedom of speech.
Name someone else who was video recorded accidentally doing it like thatOh boy, if there ever was a way to stir up controversy. Nailed it!
I'm by no means a Trump/Musk fan. That said, I have a really hard time believing he was doing a Nazi salute on purpose.
The most common and well known way of doing that is to use a closed fist and bump one's chest.Well what he said attaches to his intent...He claims to be thanking his audience for their support.
And he’s not taking it back. He’s done a hundred other pro-maga posts on X after that and he is well aware that many accuse him of zieg heiling and he said nothing in response.The most common and well known way of doing that is to use a closed fist and bump one's chest.
It comes naturally and is part of western etiquette and gesture.
The nazi salute is not "accidental" or "emotional".
He knew what he was doing, who he was addressing and he purposefully did it.

In all honesty, neither of us truly knows his intent. We DO know that if it looks like a duck and walks like a a duck....The only way to truly know his intent is to read his mind. Can you do that? Otherwise it's just a biased opinion.Be reasonable, lol...It's his intent which matters
You are moving the goalposts. All you said was that if he does it again..I'm sure he's heard the blowback by now. If he continues doing it
. And you never said anything about acknowledging. And who in hell is going to acknowledge that it was the Heil Hitler salute. That will never happen, meaning that you will never admit it and your promise of conceding what he did was completely hollow and insincere. I thought that you were better than a lot of the other righties. Now you are sounding like every other cultist.. and acknowledges that it is what you are saying then you've got your answer
That's the same promise that you just went back on. Uh-uh. Fool me twice, shame on me.Put it this way...If he does it again I'll concede your point.
what makes it probably? Can you read his mind. If not, you are in no position to make a statement like that.It's probably just his version of a Roman
I and many others tried to like trump but he just lies too much. So now we all have TDS even though we tried and you've just admitted that you have tDS. Anybody who criticizes trump is deranged regardless of whether they tried or not. That's called a double standard.As for Justin...I tried to like him I really did but c'mon he ain't his dad. Pierre was a savvy and articulate a politician as they come. His son not so much...Paul Martin I liked...Chretien did a good job...Justin took a left at Albuquerque though and kept on going.
If they don't condemn the words or actions? Absolutely.So is every single politician ever elected to office always 100% responsible for whatever action a supporter does or everything a supporter says?
Are you saying that Musk made only one gesture during his speech and this is it.
You'd rather be a MAGA apologist as long as you don't miss out on a chance to demonize Jews.Didn't you hear?
The ADL says Nazi salutes are ok now.
In fairness Jews are in an awkward place having fully banked on Trump because Dems have been trying to please team hamas. Ben Shapiro is now swearing up and down it was not a Nazi salute. It’s a sad state of affairs.You'd rather be a MAGA apologist than miss out on a chance to demonize Jews.
