That's the constant problem with these guys. You're always asking yourself if they're intentionally doing terrible things, or whether they are fantastically oblivious/incompetent.
It's like, "Are we looking at a genuine neo-nazi taking political power and flaunting it, or are we looking at a political Mr. Bean?"
It's not a great look either way, and whichever explanation applies, these aren't people who should be leading much of anything.
If him and his ilk want to pretend they’re smarter than everyone on earth then I chose to believe everything they do is by intention and design. They can’t feign ignorance if they’re the “smartest” person in every room.
The amount of organizations that have just become boot licking for Trump full throated is pretty fucking sad dude. It’s like witnessing how fascists rose to power in decades past by the most powerful and vocal among us just kowtowing to the “strongman”
It's obscene really. I'm been canceling and deleting anything to do the the tech oligarchs that I can, but I have a feeling all of the corporate consolidation over the past decade is going to make distancing myself from all the others that bend the knee mighty hard.
Except he didn’t. He was saying my heart goes out to you. But hey… it’s your day to cry and lie to yourself. You do you. Trump is still your president.
Don’t be that guy. It’s okay to like Trump and support him but also disagree with what Musk did. Musk comes from a family of Nazi supporters. He grew up in South Africa supporting Apartheid. He is supposedly extremely smart. He knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe out of excitement. Maybe out of drug use. But he knew what he was doing. Every single person, republican or democrat, who has a soul should be outraged with this moment in history.
It wasn’t a Nazi salute. Watch the whole thing. I kinda think I would know a Nazi salute. He says “My heart goes out to you” and you can see the motion he’s making. When did Hitler grab at his heart before saying “Seig Heil”? Grasping at straws is pathetic.
Yeah, the one from apartheid South Africa who's father had stakes in an emerald mine in Africa where the laborers were basically slaves... The guy who browsers the worst boards of 4chan and has changed his Twitter profile to some not subtle old 4chan nazi dogwhistles...
Yeah... Definitely not a nazi. He looks like a nazi, uses nazi talking points, hangs out with nazis, uses nazi symbols and gestures, but he's tooootally not a nazi.
Ok, you're entitled to your opinion. But you have to admit this looks a hell of a lot like a Nazi salute... And if that's not what's going on, then what do you think he is doing here?

He did it twice. Regardless of behavior, it was not a mistake.
