The world should never forget that this actually happened on this day, January 20th 2025. I’m sure I’ll get banned for posting this but oh well
Kanye watching, thinking they gotta cancel him for that shit.
Wow, Kathy Bates looks terrible in the picture for this post.
You guys must be confused. This is the maga salute.
“As a person with a strong track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews,” Newsweek opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”
Don’t you [Batya Ungar-Sargon] DARE turn this into some neurodivergent slip-up. He’s a fucking Nazi, you’re a fucking Nazi-apologist, and I hope you both suffocate inside your own assholes.
They’re already spinning it. Wtf
Only think he suffers from is loving too much. Somebody get this man a puppy!
The video on NBC as well: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/elon-musk-delivers-remarks-at-trump-s-inaugural-rally-229787717860
“News article” is being generous, but at least it’s useful in confirming the authenticity.
If only somebody had predicted capitalism’s decay into fascism, alongside a very systematic set of predictions about issues in capitalism and a viable alternative. If only… but alas, nothing happened from 1818 to 1883.
I can’t wait for the Johns Hopkins-tenured, Washington Post opinion piece, telling us how this is actually a good thing.
So either:
- Sieg heil
- Dumb enough to not know what one is or that this would be read as one despite being deep into neo Nazism
Not dumb enough.
Honestly, my money is on “just smart enough to know what it is but still dumb enough to think it’s a good idea”. I don’t think he’s an actual neo-nazi, but a neo-nazi collaborator. Which is not any better.
He probably thinks he’s being edgy and it’s hilarious to him.
Dumb enough to not know what one is or that this would be read as one despite being deep into neo Nazism
His grandparents are literal Nazis. Of course he knows this gesture very well.
Why would you get banned? This isn’t reddit.
It’s !worldnews@lemmy.world and this happened in the US. Some people find that frustrating, and fair enough. Still, this one… everybody everywhere needs to see about this one. It’s relevant.
Maybe they thought it was a tankie instance.
It’s lemmy.world though, which has had loads of controversies surrounding censorship.
Again, moderation does not equal censorship. If you think otherwise, you belong right with Musk.
Imagine being one of the last ww2 vets alive right now and seeing this
There are still a handful of Holocaust survivors alive.
I know.
Not for long, evidently
Aww shit, here we go again. Slap, tap, rack.
Holy fuck.
Won’t load for me.
It’s an unambiguous flat out Nazi salute. The context is he says “my heart goes out to you” and puts his hand on his chest, then throws out the flat open palm Nazi salute and people are trying to say that he’s figuratively throwing his heart out to the crowd, but it’s straight up just a Nazi salute.
I had to open the thread in a browser and it worked.
Jesus Christ what the fuck
So, can we revolt yet?
idk about you, but I have felt like I am revolting for a while.
Not slowed down it looks worse. And if you continue a bit, it’s still worse.
The video is so much worse than the photo, it’s absolutely a heil
He goes out of his way to do it. It’s such a sick dog whistle it’s practically a bark.
Unless you’re a Nazi… sorry, Republican on Instagram, then it’s a roman salute.
He even does it twice in the video… pretty hard to call that an accident.
Nah.
This is AI.
I’m gonna tell myself this is AI to preserve my sanity.
(WTF. There’s no way this is real right? Someone tell me this AI. Maybe I’m still in the nightmare and need to wake up.)
Edit: Okay it’s real, they going mask off on day one. We’re fucked. See y’all at the concentration camps.
