    Wow. That’s bad.

    E: Musk is such an ass that I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest he did it deliberately to troll liberals and press. Not because he holds any actual nazi beliefs (though he absolutely could) but because he just wanted to stir the shit in the news.

    Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.

    That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.

      To be clear, I fully agree with this statement.

      Buuuuuut…as I’m sure you already know, the entire US space capability was thanks to Nazis who were brought in after the war so that their scientific efforts could be used by “the good guys”. They, unsurprisingly, were still Nazis. America has a long history of working with/being run by Nazis, White Supremacists, and just general bigots and racists.

    Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.

    Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.

    The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It’ll help you get through what’s coming.

      This is a stupid, brainwashed parroting that people like you keep spouting.

      Even assuming he is a Nazi (which is idiotic considering he hires people of all different races, nationalities, etc), it’s an easy exercise that intelligent people do to separate a product from the creator. Twitter is not any worse than any other mainstream social media.

      And if he is a sympathizer (which does not make sense nor good business, since a great majority of Americans, both republicans and dem, are anti-nazi), he’ll fall soon enough.

      You guys are so weak willed and cowardly for believing every little thing the fascists on the left spoon feed you.

        I’m sick of reading this shit.

        It was a Nazi salute. If in fact Musk convincingly disavows Nazism (he won’t) he’s still a piece of shit. The smokescreen defense was stale in 2016

        He is what he’s indicated he is. Everyone knows where he stands. Only an idiot wouldn’t contextualize him accordingly.

        If i did this shit at work I’d be fired

        Dude’s throwing the Roman salute, what more proof do you need? It’s not like it’s likely he’s going to come out and say “I’m a Nazi” anytime soon.

          if he were really a nazi don’t you think he would have unbanned nazis when he bought Twitter? don’t you think he would highlight nazi tweets or agree with nazi sentiment on that platform now that he owns it?

          oh wait he did all that

    I kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.

    Was it going to be “Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies.” Or “Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported”

    Which is going to get the “love” of this administration?

      Deported? Nazi stuff is Luigi territory.

      Moral absolutes are correct in case of Nazis. Death is the only correct moral choice. With enough evidence, sentence should be carried out by anyone able, with enough evidence.

      Just keep it tightly regulated, obvz. But Nazis were the real pollutant to the gene pool the whole time.

      I still like the idea of using them for science until they die though. Only way to get that human testing done.

      Currently seems to be explaining it away as not a nazi salute, pretty sure the only worse outcome would be yeah it was we don’t care. Which is what the actual nazis are going with but not the more mainstream view, yet.

      If its going to go that way I hope we can get to the point of the nazis being shot in the head faster than last time.

        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.

        Well, we know he doesn’t have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.

        It used to be okay to kill Nazi’s on sight, as they are not only a threat to National Security, but a threat to humane values itself. Our grandfathers watched people die in droves for the chance to kill a Nazi. Now? You’ll probably be shot or arrested by police for killing a Nazi.

      Yeah, this was the first time I saw it in motion. How anyone could try to spin this as anything else is wild. We’re to the part in 1984 where we’re told to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears…
