Thoughts on Elon Musk gesture?

@KatyO83 So would these four...

@NativePortlander1970 those are still photos that prove nothing.

Show me video evidence of them being a nazi salute. I saw the video of Musk. In my opinion his was clearly a nazi salute.

Still photos show no context etc. Inadmissable evidence. Provide video and context and I'll listen.

@KatyO83 Notice the same open down palm up angled stiff arms?

@NativePortlander1970 on all of those they could be waving, about to point etc etc

Show video and context. I'll not discuss until then

@NativePortlander1970 Provide video evidence of any of those four saluting. When you do, I'll show you unambiguous evidence that this was a Nazi salute

@SW-User No you won't. Your idea of proof is propaganda from your favorite biased media source. That's not proof.

@SumKindaMunster This was hardly just "touching a chest".

Of course, Musk can spin it however he likes it. However, he clearly isn't that concerned about how his "heartfelt gesture" has been interpreted. He hasn't even said No he didn't (which, correct me if I'm wrong, would have surely been the sensible thing to do?)

P.S. I know full well that the picture I posted of Pres Trump was just him waving. I was challenging NativePortlander to provide video evidence that these four were giving the salute. He won't be able to provide evidence for that, just as I won't be able to provide evidence that Trump was saluting.


As you said, intent matters, right?

@SW-User yeah i dont see how is this not a Nazi salute because he hid the thumb finger, if he didnt then, yes, IT MIGHT have been interpreted as throwing his heart out

@SW-User So you get proven wrong, again, with the same caution I have given you multiple times...DON'T LISTEN TO THE LEGACY MEDIA WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS

Yet again you get proven wrong and instead of acknowledging that, you just go to deflection and now make the unsubstantiated claim that he did this purposefully to troll others.

@SumKindaMunster On X, Elon Musk himself said "Believe what you see, not what you are told".

I think a lot of us know what we saw.

Also, take a look at this. You won't find this in the "Legacy Media"

And hurry, before Musk takes it down.

@SW-User I got 5 seconds in...bailed after "bought the town square and helped elect a convicted felon...." Nah. Sour grapes. The left LOVED Musk when he was building electric cars and talking about going to Mars, now he's Public Enemy #2 for daring to go against the hive mind.

You spent 24 hours apparently looking for the appropriate rebut...and I already your first draft before you deleted it... and yet you still failed to respond relevantly.

Just admit you got fooled by the legacy media and move on...no shame it that...take the experience and learn to do better the next time something provocative shows up in your feed about Trump and his administration...

@SumKindaMunster Musk may have been a left wing darling at one stage. But times change.

Perhaps we were all fooled by the Legacy Media, who once painted Musk as progressive champion. Now, thanks to his attempts to boost far right parties in Germany, Austria and the UK (have you bothered to look this up?), coupled with his Nazi salutes, we see him for what he truly is. And what's worse, he is the de-facto POTUS.

I don't post about Trump, and I never will. There's no point. Not on this site.

Dark times ahead, though. Good luck.

@SW-User No, you were fooled. And you are still being fooled.

He was great when he was promoting left wing ideals, now that he has changed, he's suddenly a Nazi and "far right".🙄

You should refrain from posting about any American politics, all you know about this country is what we sold you....

We don't need your luck. We need you to butt out and focus on the mechanization's and politics of your own country. Make your own country into the one you want. Stop focusing your unwanted efforts on America.

@SumKindaMunster I say again, good luck. You have unwittingly allowed a Nazi sympathiser to become de-facto president, seeing as the guy you elected is nothing but a puppet. Dark times ahead for America.

Ooh, and I need to butt out, do I? Sounds like you're experiencing buyers' remorse and you feel like lashing out.

Go ahead :) I'll just sit and laugh from the safety of my prosperous, progressive, heavily forested country, somewhere in the world.

@SW-User Then don't. I'm happy to prove you wrong again and again and again and again and again....


I'm going to hold you and your alternates to that.
