Thoughts on Elon Musk gesture?

@come2gether It wasn’t a still photo. It was live video of him doing an unambiguous Nazi salute. Twice.

@Adeptlinguist thus my wording,"still photo from an active scene"

@Adeptlinguist Just saying. Maybe think it over.

@TheBatQueen thank you for exposing yourself. I've actually not seen any video on it yet, only the still pics. So, very glad you have shown yourself to be the unpleasant person you are

@TheBatQueen And what say you now?

@Gibbon Show the videos of those people. They are obviously stills from innocent waves. None of those politicians has ever been accused of making Nazi salutes. Musk’s gesture was not innocent. It was precisely executed and done twice.

@Adeptlinguist Yup you're drinking the media kool-aid for sure.

@Adeptlinguist what @Gibbon said is pretty true. You ought to consider your life views, you're extremely biased. That makes you a menace to society in reality, and that makes you scary. But, the FBI won't investigate you, nope. They only investigate 65 year old women that express support for an opinion opposite yours.

@Gibbon OK I’ll assume good faith.

1. I saw the video and compared it myself to videos of Hitler and the Proud Boys. It’s an identical gesture, precisely executed and clearly not an accident.
2. Musk openly supports the AfD and similar far-right parties in Europe. The AfD has links to neo-Nazis.
3. I have never seen any accusations or evidence of those other politicians giving Nazi salutes. Please provide links if I have missed them. Otherwise, they are stills out of context.

Please cut the “kool aid” nonsense. I am very well-informed from multiple sources. I’m European, remember.

@come2gether I am very well-informed thank you. I follow US and European politics very closely and don’t need any lectures from someone who supports an amoral monstrosity like Trump.

@come2gether
Here you go, then:

Also interesting that you won't find videos, let alone pictures of this anywhere on X...

@Adeptlinguist LOL! Oh dear! And Brussels has your back? No, not in the slightest!

@Adeptlinguist You are on the wrong side of the pond with dangerous uninformed opinions. I'm not going back to find the news article that showed 4 Dems doing the exact same wave just to satisfy your biased view.

@come2gether That’s a non sequitur if ever there was one. What is your point?

@Adeptlinguist I think @Gibbon's point is that he has no idea where to find video evidence that proves the "4 Dems" were saluting all over the place, so he has no option but to deflect and call you uninformed.

@Gibbon Please explain which of my opinions are “dangerously uninformed”. And which of my 3 points above are incorrect.

If you make a claim (eg others doing Nazi salutes) and it is challenged, the burden is on you to provide evidence. The evidence of Musk is everywhere.

Thank you.

@SW-User That is my interpretation too until he responds more substantively.

@Adeptlinguist i dont know about aFd but one can be far right and still not be a nazi, hes rich, it fits he would support these ideologies

@NinaCherry the AfD is arguably the furthest-right of Europe’s far right parties. Of course, it claims it is in no way Nazi, but there are many links under the surface. Musk openly supports them.

Article in English from Der Spiegel (German news magazine): https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/rechtsextremismus-wie-nah-sich-afd-und-neonazis-wirklich-sind-a-a3c0b1b0-30a4-4240-a5b2-574910c8136a

@Adeptlinguist well then i guess we got reasons to worry because this fellow has actual power in the politics unlike some nazis online

@NinaCherry Yes indeed - and Musk’s gesture reinforces those worries, however people seek to minimise or dismiss it.

@Adeptlinguist You haven't seen the article because you are only reading censored leftist news sources.
