If you want my 2 cents its a bunch of people that their person lost an election and they are lashing out

It may have looked odd but dude seems like an odd guy but in no way do I think he was doing a Nazi salute

I appreciate that. I still think he did a Nazi salute because he’s a dickhead troll, or it could have been an accident.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I don’t disagree that the intent here is important. But if it isn’t obvious, then the truth will only be our perception of it. Context always matters, that’s my stance on most things. Although in this instance, it's a gesture that only has one meaning in every context.

Wanting to see what you want and not incorporating context is kinda scary my guy

 

[Wildebeest]

It's weird that literally no reasonable person on the planet has to worry about things like this....

I'm sure Elon doesn't worry about it even slightly, or he wouldn't have done it. What are people even defending him for? He doesn't care.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Same thing with Roach lol soooo many thinking it was everything but a nothingburger. If you payed attention to how Asmon explained their way of communicating it was more than likely just pvp trolling lol

 

[BlackTron]

Imagine any other person in the world performing what appears to be a Nazi salute and being given a pass because they're eccentric.


"Oh, that's just silly Greg! He'll accidentally do a Sieg Heil every now and then, just ignore him."

LOL yeah I don't really think he should get a free pass though. He should say "yeah I wasn't thinking about Nazis at all and just did the wrong wave because I'm an idiot". Right now it's like either you're an extreme right wing supporter and you're happy you saw it, or you're...well pretty much anyone else in the world and you're "looking for things" by seeing it.

The way he is acting throws shade at his accusers for thinking that's what it was, without denying those right wing guys a celebration for thinking that's what it was, which is a pretty bad look, which I think he just stumbled into not for being a Nazi but simply not wanting to admit a mistake.

You people are hilarious, plz keep this topic going

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Are you seriously claiming that performing the Sieg Heil is an autistic trait?

As I stated earlier in the thread. I've worked with many Autistic young adults and they'd do this kind of stuff all the time. If you'd of turned to me and called them Nazis, I'd be on your arse in the same manner.

You either know autistic traits, or you don't. Clearly many here don't. And quite a few are using it in a way I don't agree with, at all.

Agreed.

It's just that I can't think of many scenarios where the Nazi salute can be an acceptable gesture to express or demonstrate affection or love lmao.

How far into the spectrum are we talking? Where does Elon fall into that category?

Big “leave Brittany alone” energy here

Damn, you got me there

Mid.

Nowhere near rewatching Thomas the tank engine over and over levels.

Yes pls explain Elon or else we aren't capable of critical thinking and have to resort back to our fabricated illusion of choice on where we stand in it's dualisme based totality based on what we think we've seen.

Agreed.

It's just that I can't think of many scenarios where the Nazi salute can be an acceptable gesture to express or demonstrate affection or love lmao.

Well that's your interpretation and your free to make that ofc

People see what they want to see and are eager to think in absolutes

I have no horse in this race. Just giving my observations.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Here comes the autisme again lol

 

[YCoCg]

Some people mention that it's just a troll attempt but really at what point does that even make sense to try and pull? It'd literally be the "I'm just pretending to be retarded" meme which serves no purpose, if it was a troll what was the point "Lol I made them think I was a Nazi".

Everyone who has eyes can see he did the Nazi salute.

Everyone has seen who Musk is - a drug addled internet troll who, without a doubt, told his mates, “guys, I’m going to do the salute on tv at the inauguration, it’ll be hilarious, and people won’t do shit.”

It was a Nazi salute, for the lulz. Musk is a fucking clown. He’s the disingenuous asshat engineer who argues in bad faith, “but how do you know it was a Nazi salute? How do you know I didn’t intend it as a heart going out gesture, never mind no one in history has done a heart going out/love gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute.” Because I have fucking eyes.

Sorry, I don't like talking like this but you are an idiot. The word Nazi is thrown around like candy these days all the while you guys have no idea whatsoever what it even means.

As someone who has read Mein Kampf it completely boggles my mind how anyone can compare ANYTHING today with the actual Nazi ideology.

You guys are not the clowns, you are the whole circus.

Its probably a move to make the mainstream media look foolish thus further discredit their reliability because of their intense focus on one issue that most people don't give a shit.

"I pretended to be a Nazi so the media would report I'm a Nazi, jokes on them!" Doesn't make anymore sense.

Or maybe it's people who had family serve in WW2 seeing history repeat itself.

It's easy to tell how young some of you are.

This is hilarious.

At 57 years old I appreciate being called young

Politics aside, I'm glad to make you feel young. I'm only 35, I hope to be called young when I get your age.
