I think the way he raised his arm in front of him looked very Nazi-ish

But it also could have been an accident

But I can see why people think that

This is like saying a step and a skip are the same thing because they’re both moving forehead

The context being that Elon musk has been flirting with the alt right since years

So when he suddenly does a gesture that looks almost identical to the Nazi salute people think it looks strange

A week later Elon zoomed into an afd conference and told them to stop feeling sorry for the holocaust

The important context in my opinion which u are not responding to:

Elon is the most followed person on Twitter, owns Twitter and is very active on it and posts a lot of s*** that is anti pc including controversial memes.

You cannot possibly convince me elon didn’t know/understand why this gesture would go viral. So then it’s a question of - did he consider this virality before doing it or was it truly a spur of the moment gesture that he didn’t intent to go viral

In my view it is naive to think it was not intentional given how smart he is and how involved in social media he is

The guy just named his 14th child after the people the Nazis took inspiration from

Exactly. And if he came out after it and said “yeah I’m a Nazi” like Kanye for example then of course it was a Nazi salute. Or even if he said nothing and didn’t defend himself at all. But hes repeatedly done the opposite.

I didn’t know about this one

oh nvm I do remember this

What other way is there to take this besides “do it again”

Pretty damming context for the “not a nazi salute” crowd

I just googled this. Tbh, I didn’t even know his child’s name before googling. I can’t find a single source comparing it to Nazis though. Can you tell me more?

This debate underscores why ET is repping gangsta rap and I’m repping conscious rap

Hopefully conscious mindful people will win out in the long run over glamorizing harmful behavior

🙄

He said “Children aren’t responsible for the SINS of their grandparents”, not “hey the holocaust was good” :​

please stop man

Are you enjoying your time in the thread, IM_NOLONGER_ANAZI?

It's a pretty risky time to go and tell people to stop feeling a type of way about the Holocaust

Antisemitism is only getting bigger

Ok tag me when Elon does Nazi stuff

I don’t disagree at all. But it’s still a far cry from being a Nazi and promoting a holocaust

Personally, if I was vehement about convincing people that I’m not a Nazi, I wouldn’t call into the current german alt-right party and tell them to stop feeling bad for the Holocaust.
