Musk:

-supposedly has autism

-autistic people sometimes make weird faux paus

To me, it looks like it’s clearly a Hitler salute and the logical conclusion is he’s a white supremacist. But I am just wondering if everyone else sees this that way with no room for it being a result of autism and definitely that.

Is there any possibility it could have been accidental? Or was he doing a Hitler salute, then “oh it was an accident” (wink) sort of thing? Did he apologize?

Lots of people on lemmy are really smart so I’m interested to read what people think.

The whole thing makes me really uncomfortable with buying from companies that have x profiles. I just don’t see how that coukd be accidental and it seems like no one cares.

There was this period before WWII when stuff started happening to reduce the rights of minorities, but they weren’t being killed blatantly. Is this where we are? I feel more scared to be in America now.

    Y’all don’t even read these posts, do you?

    it’s quite telling that he instinctively used that gesture

    OP nailed it. I doubt his dumbass went up there intending to throw that, but the gesture is clearly part of his “vocabulary”. It’s both hilarious and sad that people think Musk and Trump work with deep calculation.

    But of course, you feel OP is defending Musk, or at least giving him the benefit of the doubt. So we get treated to pic #516 comparing salutes. We know.
