Elon does the Nazi salute

So you disagree with Butler, gotcha.
He is in the "it wasn't a Nazi salute camp" while you are currently in the "It was a joke".
Yes.
I find that unlikely, but sure.
Got it.
You read it, you just don't believe it.
But at least you no longer will say silly things like "where is the evidence".
Speaking of STUPID…. It’s you’re NOT your.
I would try to enlighten you with my high level of intelligence but YOU’RE way way TOO STUPID.
Carry on STUPID.

The trolling is a big part of the point.
And it is a double-edged sword.
Ignore it and you're doing the tacit "Yeah, it's fine he is flashing a Nazi salute" thing.
Engage and you provoke all the "You're over-reacting" stuff which gets used to normalize doing a Nazi salute.
In the information environment we have, it's very tricky.
Which is why I say to acknowledge it, don't pretend it didn't happen, but focus somewhere other than "convincing them to admit it happened".
The key takeaway from Musk doing the Fascist salute, in my opinion, is that it confirms a shift towards Fascism, i.e. the marriage of Government and large corporations, as was obvious from watching Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Cook, Google all being centre at the inauguration.
It means something that the ruling class is confident enough in their power to openly show the Fascist salute. Be very afraid.
Anyone who thinks Elon Musk is a Nazi need their fucking head examined.
There has always been a marriage of large corporations and government in the US.
Most notably the oil & gas industry.
Cheney was CEO of Haliburton and became VP, after which Haliburton got billions in contracts in Iraq (and fed contaminated water to the marines if I remember right).
Today it is tech.
The change we are seeing seems to be in their blatant endorsement of racism and clout, whereas in the past it was more subdued.
I mean, just because he ACTS like a nazi, and has nazi beliefs, and nazi genetics, why would anyone think he's a nazi?

I can't ignore anyone because the dumber the posts are the more I get a good laugh.But the ignore button works well for all nationalities. Most equitable
Of course Musk is not a Nazi. National Socialistisher Arbeiterpartei died with the third Reich.
He is, however, part of a Fascist ruling class, and confident enough in it's power to openly show it.
Sure, and you should trust your own eyes and experience.
There is no need to convince people who are trying to do the "Why are you overreacting" dance that they are full of shit.
They know they are full of shit already.
We went through this with the "OK" symbol.
(Well, we did until that guy who killed all those people used the OK symbol at his arraignment and kind of made it unpalatable to pretend to be flashing it "ironically" anymore.)
Expect some of the more odious "influencer" types to start flashing salutes and quasi-salutes, especially with the "hand on heart" starting position..
They will accompany it with variations on "my heart goes out to you".
The purpose will be to claim how horrible it is they are being picked on for such an innocent thing.
I mean, the hard core "We are happy to call ourselves Nazis" people already applauded Musk and talked about how happy they are he is signalling he is on their side.
So look to that rung just down from there - Fuentes is still too Nazi, I expect. And too political. It's gonna be more the culture warrior types. Some you tuber/rumble/whatever guy who is big on sexism and racism and "return to manly man real western values" but about lifestyle. I'm sure there are still dozens and dozens of these guys, and that's where I would expect to see it first.
Oh wait!
You could also see it in a tradwife influencer. That would fit.
no, I have to keep team MAGA and team Hamas on ignore as reading their posts fortifies my despise for humanity and may cause indigestion.
I make exceptions when I am particularly bored, but it's never worth it.
If you are a bishop and you are not woke you are an American maga pastor who fuck his disciple to have a mansion and a private jet.
Bah, these dudes are old farts with extreme old fart mentality. Like their mentor convicted felon Trump. They need to use their misogyny to have their way over girls because otherwise, they repulse them...
Mitchell you have not yet put your ridiculous lol smiley on that post. You are late. Get your act together please. We won't tolerate slouchers.
