I've seen the claimed pictures in context with their videos, they are distinctly different gestures in timing and emphasis - normal waves, without the sharp hand to chest -> locked elbow with hand outstretched motion. Again, the seig heil is a particular gesture with a particular emphasis and timing which Musk imitated precisely, twice in quick succession. Those other photos are decontextualized from gestures which were clearly different motions entirely.

You're spouting easily refuted nonsense, and then immediately making ad hominem attacks because your points are extremely weak and not backed up by the evidence you vaguely cite.

You're also getting ratioed because people here are not idiotic ideologues. Please do better.

I'll also leave you with a nice quote from Sartre which was directed at the fascists of the time - we've seen this shit before, we know what you're doing:

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Genuinely why would Elon do a Nazi salute when he's in the Jewish/Israeli class?

  • Why would Israeli settlers commit ethnic cleansing despite their country existing as a response to ethnic cleansing?

    Idk I'm not a Zionist, but it's clearly what's happening.

    • You’re just incapable of talking about these things honestly. It’s NOT ethnic cleansing. Your exaggeration of that war, and your calling Musk a Nazi is what gets people shot in the neck.

It is seriously absurd to believe he did it as a Nazi salute. But you just want to believe it.
