Elon Musk draws outrage over 'odd-looking salute' at Trump inauguration celebration
Elon Musk accused of giving ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration celebration
The headline currently seems to be:
Elon Musk accused of giving ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration celebration
Which, I mean, isn't really much better, as you can clearly see he is indeed giving a nazi salute.
‘People with functioning vision have reported seeing Musk give a Nazi salute. As the news, we’ve decided to not investigate this any further.’
IT'S A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE! STOP PANDERING TO THE FOURTH REICH!
Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”
This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement.... and they fucking cheered.
It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn't happen. -And if it did, it wasn't that bad. -And if it was, that's not a big deal. -And if it is, that's not my fault. -And if it was, I didn't mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.
No news organization will call it a nazi or fascist salute as they will get sued for doing so. Instead they will call it odd and mention historical significance and let the reader put two and two together.
That headline is why I prefer actual liberal media
Nazi punks fuck off
What the fuck is "odd-looking" about a Nazi salute?
He did it like he's never been in control of a human body before.
Oh god don't tell me it's another case of Elon getting carried by a hire to level him up.
It's like a cross between a nazi salute and a dab, I shall call it the nazi-musk salute or the elofacist salute
Give the guy some time. He probably hasn't done this in front of a crowd this big before and was a bit timid. Practice, practice, practice.
He absolutely looks odd. Like he's trying to hold in a wet one. The salute is just plain vile.
There is nothing "odd looking". Everyone who has ever seen a documentation about Nazi Germany should be able to identify the gesture.
Remember the times when real Americans shot at Nazis instead of voting for them?
The white dude from apartheid South Africa whose father owned an emerald mine there is a Nazi? So surprising.
*and whose maternal grandparents were nazis
Odd looking Nazi salute, yeah but it's Elon he always looks like the skin wearing badguy from MiB
It wasn't odd, it was very normal. For a Nazi.
Capitalism enters end stage
"I stay on X because it's a safe space!"
“Odd looking salute” for fucks sake to be more blatant than that you’d have to start talking enthusiastically about ovens
America has a long storied tradition of killing Nazis. It’s like a national pastime. It permeates our film and literature. We have been celebrated the world over for decades because of our talent with killing Nazis. We have monuments about this. Just sayin’.
I know it isn't going to happen, but can we see if Harrison Ford is busy? I can think of nothing I'd enjoy more right now than Indy doing what he does best.
Actually, I think I'll enjoy it more because he's old. These nazis are weak.
Outrage? His cult is "praise be", overjoyed.
Very odd looking indeed. Whatever could he have meant by it?
If it's true he was on the outs with the online neo-nazi crowd because of the H1B visas thing, this might have been a way he was trying to get back in their good graces.
CNN be like:
Odd-looking salute.
You're not in your Klan duds now, buddy boy
Jesus Christ, Liberal Media, just call a spade a spade. "Odd-looking?"That was the angriest Seig Heil since 1945 wtf
They're sanewashing a literal nazi salute.
The right wing media are using nukes, while the liberal media are playing with sticks.
That's what happened during Nazi Germany too
We now know that racism is a very bad thing. Unfortunately, realpolitik ensures that the main consequence of this is that it is absolutely unacceptable to accuse anyone of racism unless they’re already serving several consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole or otherwise have no clout. Therefore, this is “odd-looking” or perhaps “awkward”. Press them and they’ll scramble for explanations to do with obscure medical syndromes or the esoteric corners of history (could Musk be obsessed with ancient Rome like Zuck is?). It won’t even get to “racially charged”, as that’s for peons who let a slur slip.
The libel suits would come very fast for anyone claiming someone is a Naxi without evidence of support for Nazism.
There is no mainstream liberal media. It doesn’t exist and never did, only Republican propaganda.
Are you going to cover the costs of the libel suits filed by Musk? If you aren't maybe understand what they are doing when they call it odd and mention the historical significance.
