For context, it's a very clear Nazi Salute — and Musk did it more than once. The NYT is implying doubt because they're afraid of losing access if they speak the truth and because some people who are financially dependent on Musk are denying what it was in public.

There's so speculation needed, unless you are a fucking retard; he did a Nazi salute. Twice. Fuck him.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Confirmed. You have to be a literal retard to think it was anything else other than a blatant sieg heil.

He did it exactly like Nazis did it too.

Start at chest and then fully extend. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer/flag.

Compare and contrast:

It's going to be a long four+ years.

Hitler looked better at doing it.

Elon Musk was incredibly uncoordinated in his display.

To be fair, he is literally not good at anything.

He's pretty good at buying out the election and consolidating power.

He's terrible at video games, programming, rockets and more. But power-is-power.

He's a great father!

The 4 year myth needs to be dispelled. There is no magical reset button every 4 years. Damage done can't be magically erased at the end of a 4 year period.

We're entering a period of American decline that's going to last a lot longer than 4 years. Buckle up. As shitty as the 2000s have been for a lot of us, we're going to look back at the early 2000s as a golden age.

Only from cowards and those who support him. The rest of us know exactly what he's doing. Him and Trump are cosplaying the Third Reich and they've done everything they can to tell you all that this is the case.

Fuck this headline.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

There's no speculation, the Nazi who defended Nazis in Europe have a Nazi salute in a massive Nazi venue.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What's there to speculate about? They should start speculating their blindness.

Least fascism-enabling NYT headline

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Fucking Hell NY Times can you please just not be a myopic piece of shit and actually call a nazi a nazi. All of this enabling hang-wringing pearl-clutching nonsense is part of how we got in this problem.

Inauguration day 2017, the defining moment was "American carnage". This year it's this. Fine job, America.

You know the guy practiced this move in front of his mirror the night before.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And in front of his employees asking for tips & suggestions. You know damn well he told every person he could to pump his ego. He's an insecure frat boy.
