So im aware that this might be against rule 5, but i still wonder
The Musk salute has been the theme of nearly 90% of all posts I’ve read all week (day? Hour? It’s so many I can’t keep track)
I see some people complaining it’s not a nazi salute, and to be fair, if it was some other famous person not currently courting Germany’s afd I could understand the arguments.
But my question is: why have we not seen a massive response from the owner of X that it was not, in fact, a nazi salute? He must be aware. Has he responded and my news circle is just too left leaning? Or has he purposely ignored it?
To me the mere act of not acknowledging it is in fact a confession. But maybe he has and im in too deep in the “other side”
And also sorry for the bad English ➡️ not my native language
The Musk salute is more accurately described as a nazi salute because it was.
News corps are being cowardly and the ADL is being about as honest as it ever fucking is.
ADL condemned him after he doubled down on Twitter with nazi jokes.
They did… but they initially cast doubt on whether it was a nazi salute leading to a lot of the news stories saying “suggestive gesture” or “nonspecific salute” instead of saying “that’s nazi shit”.
