Right? I think the poor guy's about to stroke.
 
The salute itself was pretty much a classic roman salute. The way the hands were extended, the angle the arm was at. And he repeated it, which meant he was going for something.

Was it meant to be something that looked like the Nazi salute? I don't know. Musk may have been trolling. A writer at the Atlantic mentioned it being a perfect match with a salute captain Kirk gave in the original star trek series. Maybe something dumb like that. I doubt Musk is an *actual* nazi, and it's not clear what he was going for with that, but it is possible he knowingly went for something that looked like a Nazi salute.
Other thing I'll add about Musk... he's an impulsive idiot. Possible he just fell into a nazi styled salute in the heat of the moment.

Look at his body of work.

He thinks it's "funny"

He has the sense of humor of a dullard 13-year-old glue sniffer - you know, like Phenom here.
 
Now I understand why you’re so average as a journalist. Your silly retorts are just as bad as your “column”.
Sure, sure - that's why I've been paid to write by dozens of publications for more than 30 years.

What was your profession, other than sad handjobs in the back of your dimwitted dates' cars in the 1950s, again?

Sure. We just have multiple competing flaws here.

Twitter was an impulse buy he tried to back out of.

He's regularly had to delete stupid things he ha said or re-tweeted on Twitter.

Some stupid impulse runs through his head and he follows it. So it's hard for me to say if it might be a premeditated thing or not.
 
This thread (and the other tear filled thread on the same topic) are perfect examples of why the left got trounce so badly in the last election. Despite the losing you all still can't learn your lessons. What sad people.
 
Bringing the bitch, babe. Just bringing the bitch.
Must be the cold weather.
Or…just SMH at the continual whining, crying, wailing, weeping- and do I also hear the gnashing of teeth in the background?
Get up, wipe your tears, move on.

You are projecting all of those emotions. I'm guessing most of the Yes votes in this thread are as chill as someone on a hundy millis of THC.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Translation: You hurt my feelings. I have to lash out. Awww.
Let me just say (for the record of course) that my handjobs NEVER made anyone sad. ☺️
 
Anyone who votes yes is delusional or trolling.

For your sake I hope trolling.

It is interesting to watch the montages of prominent Dems doing the same thing without anyone making the same accusations.

TDS 2.0? Or did it never end?
There are literally no montages of this. Only still gotcha photos of Michelle saying aim high or Hillary pointing at a balloon drop. Dumb whataboutism.

If you had any sort of gravitas, intelligence or bonafides as a media critic, sure, my feelings would be hurt.

Lame insults from a washed up Boomer retiree with nothing better to do than hang out with middle-aged sports fans on an Iowa Hawkeyes off topic board?

Yeah, no.

Incidentally putting your hand up at an angle is not a Nazi salute. Purposely placing hand on heart and emphatically raising your hand TWICE absolutely is. Elon Musk did what he did on purpose, and if you're defending it, you are exactly the reason the left is so worked up. You're allowing real life fascists to take over the country. It's not hyperbole anymore.

He doesn't care as long as he has tik tok to watch

Disagree with your last two sentences.

These are clowns playing troll games.

As Walter said, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it was an ethos.

Trump, Elon et al aren't hardworking enough to be effective fascists. They're weak and lazy.
