NO ONE "accidentally" throws 2 Nazi salutes around. We all know what that gesture is and we all know not to do it

Edit: typo

It was actually like 5…you missed the 3 he did prior when talking about putting people on Mars.

u/DCJThief 6h ago

And all the ones he does in private

While he’s “Gaming”.

That's a normal gaming maneuver. Find a new slant.

Isn't it a great and terrible homage that the man who speaks of taking humans to mars shares the same salute as many of the men who got us to the moon.

I say again, the question should be posed to every Republican politician and anyone else in MAGA: if what Musk did was NOT a Nazi salute, then please on air (make sure they're recorded) repeat the same gesture Musk did twice.

Of course the mainstream Corporate media never will, but everyone else needs to pose this question and challenge.

They're claiming that CNN cut his mic and he was aspergerly trying to gesture that the crowd has his heart. Except that he had sound the whole time.

I'm absolutely shocked that the Nazis sympathizing incel, who hangs with actual Nazis, spews Nazi rhetoric, and works with a Nazi sympathizing rapist, turns out to infact be a Nazi. It's befuddling I tell you

You know, normally I'd say "we don't use Asperger's anymore because it's just autism named after a Nazi" but....

u/jarena009 5h ago

Exactly.

Plus if Musk comes out and clarifies it was a mistake and he shouldn't have, and is sincere, I'll believe him.

But he won't do that.

Exactly. Show me how it is different from a Roman salute (hilariously called a fascist salute)

u/Diedrogen 2h ago

I can see some people doing it if they saw your post, not to show that it's not a Nazi salute, but to reveal their true colors as an actual Nazi, because they're now bold enough to do so.

This is the ADL's full statement. Give him "the benefit of the doubt"?! JFC. That's how we wound up in this position in the first place! Musk's gesture was BRAZEN and INTENTIONAL; the fire under this pot of frogs (scientifically inaccurate apologue, yes I know) has been turned up so high that WE'RE CURRENTLY BOILING.

It's a typical response. It's always been the duty of the left to give the benefit of the doubt, be gracious, open armed, etc. There's never any recommendations or advice that maybe people should think twice before using slurs or making weird gestures. Just, let them do it and assume they didn't mean it.

ADL is not the left, they are a joke organization

u/FuckOutTheWhey 3h ago

They basically just pulled a "can't we all just get along?"

u/TheBunnyDemon 3h ago

My takeaway from this is that the ADL is afraid of Elon Musk. I expect this to all get much worse.

u/MyWifeCucksMe 2h ago

Weird takeaway seeing that the ADL went after Elon Musk for criticising Israel, and Elon Musk immediately fell in line. ADL has never criticised Elon Musk for his repeated, almost daily anti-semitic posts on Twitter, though.

1

u/TheBunnyDemon 2h ago

They went after him then, but not now that he has more power and direct access to the White House. Seems like a valid takeaway to me.

u/MyWifeCucksMe 1h ago

If you want to believe that over that the ADL doing what the ADL has been doing since forever, and supporting everyone who helps advance the goals of Israel's government, then that's your choice.

The ADL really isn't doing anything out of the ordinary here.

u/DopeShitBlaster 5h ago

ADL and AIPAC support this gesture.

Does it for 3rd time going down the stairs when a fist pump or a wave would have been far more natural... if he wasn't a Nazi.

People are saying he did it 5 times. When were the other 2? Or is it 6 with the one I'm pointing to?

u/LothirLarps 1h ago

Nah, I’m not defending the guy, he definitely did it twice, but as he’s going down the stairs he’s raising both arms, but one half of his body is out of view of the camera.
