So the nazi salute wasn’t enough to make them drop X, but the view count is?

He did not do a Nazi salute. That is propaganda from legacy media. He has never even said anything remotely Nazi-like. He is pro free speech, pro humanity, pro USA.

  • "Don't believe your lying eyes", eh?

    You must have simply missed it, because it was recorded and everyone with eyes can clearly see it. Maybe it's just not spread very widely in your media bubble.

    Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw

    PS: You're defending a billionaire who would poison the water in your grandmother's neighborhood to save a few cents on his tax bill. Poor people like you mean nothing to him. He even treats his daughter like shit, just because she was brave enough to live her life as her own. He's a morally bankrupt person, who got where he is by treading on and abusing people, just like any other billionaire.

  • "Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?"

    • It is a Rorschach test.

      I see an awkward attempt of someone with Asperger's saying "my heart goes out to you", which is what he said while making the gesture.

      You apparently saw a Nazi salute.

      Given he has no other Nazi tendencies before or since, I did not see a Nazi salute.

      In fact he visited Israel after Oct 7, a decidedly non-Nazi thing to do. Netanyahu himself praised Elon and said he is being smeared.

  • The Anti-Defamation League said it was not a Nazi salute,[7] but other Jewish organizations disagreed and condemned the salute.[8][9][10][11] American public opinion was divided on partisan lines as to whether it was a fascist salute.[12] Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrated it as a Nazi salute.[15][16]

    Don't trust my words, just look at the salute yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy

    • Why would a Nazi go to Israel, meet with Netanyahu, visit Auschwitz and light a candle in solidarity, and generally support Jews? It makes no sense.

      People just hate Elon and call everyone a Nazi. It is not an accusation that is taken seriously anymore.

  • There is a video of Elon performing a gesture in which he forms a heart shape with his hands, and then mimes giving it out to the crowd.

    It is quite distinct from the multiple Nazi salutes he gave at the Trump rally.
