International Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech

[DoctorTaco]

No, because it would look like a Nazi salute if I were to do it

Got it. But not when Elon does it? What if we blur your face? What if we blurred his?

Let me ask you this in response, do you think he's a Nazi? Because that's what I'm saying about this. Make fun of him all you want for the salute because he is a weirdo and sure as hell looks like one. But if you some autistic guy says "my heart goes out to you" then in an attempt to symbolize this does a nazi salute that the guy being awkward. Not a guy promoting genecide of "inferior races".

I don't even particularly like Elon. I'm very pro union and he's extremely anti union. But calling people you don't "Nazis" completely takes away from the actual problem of bigots and racists out there.

. But if you some autistic guy says "my heart goes out to you"

Like this?



In Elon you have a guy supporting the far right German political party and minimizing the holocaust. A guy who responded on Twitter to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and professing indifference to antisemitism by posting, "You have said the actual truth." Antisemitic posting on Twitter has doubled since he bought it.

That says everything to me.

He's not an actual Nazi, but I think he's highly intelligent so he HAD to have known his what is gesture would look like. And how some in the public would react.

But he has plausible deniability. He can say it's an innocent gesture being misinterpreted.

However, I do not believe it because of his intelligence and also his follow up tweets where he literally mentions Goebbels and other Nazi leaders. It's increasingly looking like he was trolling.

Have you seen this guy in public? He's a spastic. The unintentional "salute" is less embarrassing than the way he routinely jumps around like a child on stage. He should also know that that makes him seem a little off, but he doesn't, because he does have a condition of sorts. He's a strange cat that people only put with, because he's worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Take that away, and he's just some sperg acting weird, who most people would think needs to wear a helmet at all times.

Socially, the guy is inept as all fuck. It must be weird for the big business suits to have to talk to/negotiate with, what appears to be a mentally retarded person, who holds their future in his hands. He ain't winning any awards for acting normal, that's for damn sure.

Neurodivergence lies on a spectrum. If heiling Hitler was a symptom of what ever his deal is, why don’t we see it in others who are along the same part of that spectrum like him?

But he was trolling afterwards with his tweets mentioning Nazi leaders.

So if he's trolling when tweeting about it, why is it so hard to believe he was trolling on stage?

All that was missing is Leon talking about a master Aryan race.

He's responding to the hysteria and mocking it. It's not exactly a new strategy in how to deal with ridiculous media narratives.

That's just you choosing to believe that.

 

[HereticBD]

That's just you choosing to believe that.

And you are choosing not to believe it, in favor of believing that he's an actual Nazi that is sympathetic to Hitler.

I'll stick with my version of events.

I never said he holds Nazi beliefs. I said he was trolling a Nazi salute because he has plausible deniability.

I have eyeballs. That shit looks like a Nazi salute.

You also have ears, and heard what he meant like two seconds after he did it. You're also aware that he's a bit of a spastic and gets excited easily, and could've put a bit too much oomph into the "heart throwing" gesture.

At the end of the day, who gives a shit? I don't know what people are expecting to come from this.

You're just making an assumption that it was because he was spastic and that's why he did that. When in reality, it's completely subjective. None of us know what was in his head.

To me, he's being a troll and he's way too intelligent to not know how that would come across.

I don't give a shit that much. It's whatevs to me, but everyone in the news is talking about it.

Who isn't?

that it was because he was spastic and that's why he did that. When in reality, it's completely subjective. None of us know what was in his head.

Okay, and? You're allowed to have your opinion and I'm allowed to have mine.

Riveting conversation.
