Musk: Does a Nazi salute, twice

Neo-Nazis: Those were Nazi salutes!
Holocaust Scholars: Those were definitely Nazi salutes!
Literally Everyone Who Saw It: WTF those were Nazi salutes!

ADL: What awkward gestures.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways the real antisemitism is believing Palestinians should have a State

@lpfreakkk @not2b @QasimRashid Can you explain this comment? It just seems needlessly hostile, as well as false to the fact.

I didn't even watch any of the ceremony, but every headline is telling me "three times".

@TomSwirly @lpfreakkk @not2b @QasimRashid fanboys on twitter are always like "you seem obsessed with him lololol" whenever anyone points out that their cult leader has done something problematic but in this case I assumed it was intended as a joke that didn't come across well?

@QasimRashid I am a Jewish-American, so I do not say this lightly - but the ADL have been absolute piece of shits for a while now, working to conflate criticism of IDF atrocities with anti-semitism, while ignoring real neo-nazism creeping in from the MAGA-right. I regret ever sending the ADL donations in the distant past.

@TotalSonic @QasimRashid Some months ago, I heard one of these right wingers claim that nearly everyone in Israel is backing Netanyahu. When I got home, I found two articles , one in Haaretz, stating that ~70% of the population wanted Netanyahu to resign. I've seen such right wingers disparage Haaretz, claiming it was a pro-Palestinian rag. In reality it is a mirror image of the Wall Street Journal: left instead of right wing editorials, but high quality news articles in both.

@QasimRashid Has anyone checked on the Reichstag lately? I think I smell smoke.

Seriously, though, that was a straight up Nazi salute. Not a "Laura Ingraham accidental Nazi salute" but a forceful sieg heil. The only thing missing was the brown shirt and armband. And Trump just released/pardoned 1500 loyal brown shirts.

I was a history major, and studied the rise of the 3rd Reich. It is not an exaggeration to say we're at about a 1933.

@QasimRashid since Musk got involved with politics, he lost his credibility and the empire he built. I always admired him for what an amazing and genius he is. Like SpaceX has changed the way we are looking for space travel im damn sure Elon Musk’s name will be in future literature. Beaides all these weird things he do, he is shaping the world around us.

@lpfreakkk He is not an "amazing genius". He is a literal idiot who used his wealth to force people to call him a genius after he bought or stole ideas.
Nothing he owns was built by him. Nothing.

@starlily oh please. who tf made SpaceX!? Musk is the CEO, CTO, and Chairman of SpaceX, the aerospace company he founded in 2002.
CEO of SpaceX, which is responsible for manufacturing and servicing advanced rockets and spacecraft.
Musk is the chief technology officer of SpaceX, which is responsible for developing innovative advancements in space technology.
Musk is the chairman of SpaceX, which is responsible for leading the company.

@QasimRashid with AIPAC, ADL, gop, corporations & elites, evangelicals and MAGA and their supporters in chief MSM around, who thinks it is a viable strategy to win crucial US elections running a pro Palestine campaign?

It would be nice if supposed opposition "democrats" tried it but I doubt the outcome is what "good" people believe will happen - everyone forgets this is a country that voted out a good man like Jimmy Carter. But at least it removes one of the excuses used by non voters.

@QasimRashid No one greets or thanks like this. Except the nazis. Awkward would be if you extend the hand and wave to the public and someone makes a still photo out of that at wrong angle that makes it look wrong. I watched the video myself. Elon sieg heil-ed. TWICE. It is a very clrear, strong and clear gesture he made. He even touched the heart before extending his arm with force. That was by every definition a 10/10 sieg heil nazi salute. There is no room for misimpretation.
