I'd like to see his search history for Twitter and google. Guessing there's 100 different searches that are all different variations of "Nazi Salute" "Nazi" "Dems waving" and then a few variations of "Elon shirtless yacht pics"

You are embarrassing enough for the both of us. You have eyeballs remember? According to you, Emmanuel Macron is for sure a Nazi, because….eyeballs.

We talkin’ bout eyeballs.

Find a video with the same pomp. And also isn't homeboy in France? Maybe you'll find me someone from Zimbabwe that does something not even close to what Elon did.

Elon was so pumped to do a Nazi that he got the dat ass look on his face when he snapped his hand to his chest.
 
Look at the video posted earlier in this thread of Hitler doing the salute and Elon doing what he’s doing side by side and if you can point out 3 definitive differences I’ll concede your argument is correct.

Otherwise, StFU while we keep laughing at your weak ass gaslighting attempts.
So you honestly believe Elon Musk is a Hitler loving Nazi?

There are many videos of Democrats doing VERY similar gestures flying all over the Internet now, and I don't think it means any of them are Nazis. I don't believe Elon Musk is a Nazi either.

Doing a Nazi salute while very Nazish doesn't not necessarily mean he is a literal Nazi. However, the optics were something to behold. It was a Nazi salute, to include all of the pomp, and done in a political setting with a crowd by an oligarch. It's not a great look.

The other ones that people are using as false equivalencies lack the pomp, they don't have the strong movement to the chest, and the sharp snap into a Nazi salute.

I wonder if you guys would have believed them if they used the excuse that liberals hacked the livestream and put in a deep fake of Elon doing a Hitler salute for a few seconds. It isn't out of the realm of possibilities that you guys would believe that if they went that route.

You see what you want to see. He literally said 'from my heart to yours' right after he did it.

It hasn't seriously been used in a mainstream political setting in early 80 years.

If he were a liberal, nobody would be concerned about the "optics." Just as nobody was concerned when the numerous Dems did it, because it's a ridiculous equivalency, in every case.

This is nothing more than typical disingenuous politically motivated BS from the left.

If any liberal did exactly what Elon did I would take issue with it. Full stop. You guys haven't been able to provide any examples that are even in the same realm of similarity.

I am just going to assume you are a liar at this point.

Why do you suck so bad at reading comprehension?

I've clearly stated at least 3 times I think Musk did it to troll people and garner a reaction. He's an immature, sophomoric prick who uses his wealth to shield himself from any real consequences.

Eyeballs!

Nazi!

Macron should resign for being a Nazi right? You have eyeballs, right?
 
Do you think he’s a Nazi?

Per your prior parameters, that is clearly, 100% a Nazi salute.

I disagree. Keep dodging though.

The thread is did Ketamine Ken do a Nazi salute. It is not so you believe Elon is a literal Nazi. Do I think he is a literal Nazi? No. Do I think he is a dangerous oligarch who did a Nazi salute in front of a crowd, yes.
 
As usual, Bill Kristol nails it:

Musk Tells a ‘Joke’


Whatever one makes of his salute, the subsequent attempt at humor cheapened the Holocaust.​

Stick to Rockets​


by William Kristol
On Monday, January 20, preceding the newly-inaugurated Donald Trump on stage at the Capital One Arena, Elon Musk gave what looked like a Nazi salute. Twice.

Controversy ensued. The suggestion that Musk knew what he was doing was made more plausible because Musk had recently stepped forward as perhaps the leading U.S. defender of the extremist German party—considered by many to be neo-Nazi but, at the very least, anti-anti-Nazi—the Alternative für Deutschland.

What did Musk intend with his salute? He could, over the subsequent hours, have explained what he thought he was doing. He could have made it unambiguously clear that the salute was not what it looked like. He could have apologized to those who were appalled by what they believed they saw.
But instead Musk enjoyed the notoriety and milked the controversy. He criticized his critics. He was titillated by the outrage of the anti-Nazis. He enjoyed the frisson of people saying he inhabited what I’d call Nazi-adjacent space.

Musk’s enjoyment culminated in his post Thursday morning:​
Does any decent person find this “joke” funny?

I won’t dilate on Musk’s “joke.” Indeed I feel I should apologize for inflicting it on you.

But I think it’s noteworthy. Musk is a very wealthy and powerful man. He has an office in the West Wing of the White House. He controls, and aggressively uses for his own purposes, a major media platform. He has used that platform, that perch, that proximity to power, to trivialize the Holocaust with a supposed attempt at humor. His reluctance to quickly clarify what he meant with his salute has had the effect of further callusing us to such displays in the future.

And his power is such that people who should be sounding alarms and issuing condemnations are choosing flattery instead.

On Wednesday, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, the very epitome of a respectable corporate leader, a pillar of what passes for the American establishment, praised Musk effusively: “The guy is our Einstein,” Dimon told CNBC.

Einstein, we should note, was firmly anti-Nazi.

To add obsequiousness to effusiveness, Dimon also said of Musk: “I’d like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can.”

Not everyone has been willing to ignore Musk’s “joke.” And by this morning, Musk felt compelled to post a response:

“It was astonishing how insanely hard legacy media tried to cancel me for saying ‘my heart goes out to you’ and moving my hand from my heart to the audience.”

Poor Elon Musk. The woke mind-virus is out of control! Some people are so censorious about joking about the Nazis! They raise questions and even objections when you make those kind-of-affectionate jokes about Goebels and Göring and Himmler!

I don’t want to end this week in the sewer with Elon Musk. So I’ll point out that today is the 60th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill.

Here’s Churchill on the topic of the Nazis, in his radio broadcast after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union:
Hitler is a monster of wickedness, insatiable in his lust for blood and plunder. . . . The Nazi regime is devoid of all theme and principle except appetite and racial domination. It excels in all forms of human wickedness, in the efficiency of its cruelty and ferocious aggression.

That is how one should speak about Nazis.​

Wop would have ABSOLUTELY believed this. There is a 100% chance he would have dove balls deep into attempting to convince everyone it was true.
