    because it didn’t work.

    the whole idea was to trigger the libs with a vague gesture, like that one bitch who turned it into an awkward wave, but he got a little too into it and now people are setting his cars on fire.

      Vague gesture? It was a full on nazi salute.

      Why are you saying this? Just call it what it is for fucks sake.

      Are you afraid or something?

        The above commenter is saying that Elon likely tried to be vague about what he was doing, but failed at subtlety and made an obvious Nazi salute.

        You can try reading that comment again. Or maybe you replied to the wrong comment, because it doesn’t say anything remotely similar to what you are complaining about.

      I think it’s more that he got a bit too excited about the way the far right can get away with absolutely anything. The media will make excuses for you, the fan base will love it, the more outrageous it is the more it makes libs cry. The democrats will impotently voice objections, the Overton window will move as required, and you will have gotten away with it. I think he wanted to be the star of that whole circus.

            u/violentacrez moderated a whole bunch of NSFW subs during the early days of Reddit, and was a notorious and infamous user. Among the subs he founded and moderated were r/jailbait and r/creepshots (which consisted of pictures of women taken without their consent).

            For his services to Reddit, a custom, unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy was created and awarded to him. This is all ancient Reddit history at this point, though. u/violentacrez’s account was suspended eventually and subs like jailbait and creepshots are closed down these days.

    On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.

    That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

      Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.

      Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.

      It was a nazi salute.

        Most likely Musk was testing the waters, but there’s also a high probability that he’s just plain stupid, after all, this is the same guy who pretended to be the best PoE2 player by paying others to play the game for him, only to then accidentally expose his own lie on a live stream.

        Regardless of his reasons for making the gesture at that moment, taking into account his family history and the parties and people he supports, that gesture was without a shadow of a doubt a Nazi salute whose ideology he admires.

          It’s pretty well-known (as he admitted on SNL in 2021) that Elon Musk has Asperger’s Syndrome. This is evident in his inability to understand social cues and appropriate communication, his hardwired complete lack of empathy, and his strange and overpowering obsession with the letter X. He probably thinks he’s being edgy or hilarious without understanding that there are social consequences for those things that he does not have the ability to comprehend in the moment. Even scarier, actually, if you look into the history of the man the condition was named for (Hans Asperger) and some of the things he was into… you know, like generic purity and being a Nazi.

            I also have Asperger’s syndrome, it’s just the old name given to the condition of those who presented autism with the mildest symptoms of the spectrum, it doesn’t take away my ability to know the meaning of a Nazi salute and what doing it represents, so I see no reason to excuse him because of that.

        He was testing the waters And to know his “limit”. Now that we know there are people denying what it was and defending him, he can push it further, rally his/trumps base, create distractions and continue the grift while planting seeds of racism and violence among the communities. distraction mostly, but he’s a piece of shit human.

    If you look at the personality organization of malignant narcissists, you learn that their sense of self and even their memory is fragmentary. They’re in the realm of borderline personality organization, which is halfway between neurotic (normal) and schizoid.

    This is why it makes sense to them that history should start fresh every day. They don’t connect actions with consequences because their brains are not set up to do that.
