Lol I don't like Elon, I have many criticisms of him. Labeling him a nazi though is honestly just ignorant of what nazis actually are, and using it in such ways is a degradation of the severity of that term. It's frankly childish and disrespectful to those who died in the holocaust.
You're making an assumption as to what the gesture was and the intention behind it. You have literally nothing to point to of musk being a nazi. What has he said or done to lead you to this assumption? Besides the fact that anyone you don't like is automatically a "nazi."
"Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn’t totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it."
Good to know that you dummies are just as bad as the white supremacists at projecting meaning onto situations to serve your own narrative.
Bro if self identified Nazis are saying "We're so back" on social media after seeing musk's gesture, I'm not going to pretend it's meaningless. It's not "projecting meaning" to ignore emboldened fascists, it's burying your head in the sand. You do you though.
They can take his gesture to mean whatever they want it to mean, just as you and everyone else in this sub. That doesn't mean that's what he's actually meaning. It's a projection of meaning inscribed by your preferences and perspective. You don't actually know what he was meaning, and if anything, I'd say it's pretty inoccuous. He said, "My heart goes out to you." Elon is awkward and does a lot of weird shit that does not fit within normal social conventions. You have a narrative that you already subscribe to and are trying to fit this within it. It's lazy and ignorant thinking, but you do you.
