It was available, and also wasn’t used, on many platforms, on purpose.
I know you're using the appeal to the middle here, but one was a deliberate salute, done multiple times with the clarification in hindsight that it actually meant something that has absolutely never been attributed to that salute. The other is where people have had to dig into (relatively) obscure incidents and freeze frame a half second in time.

There is no logical way you can equate these two, no matter how broad a stroke you paint it with.

The difference is, I don’t insult others for having a different opinion to me, I just get on with my day.
You've been in here for a number of hours now, arguing in defense of a man who has platformed neonazis, supported the closest legal entity to the Nazis you're allowed to in Germany, performing an identical salute to what modern neonazis do. Multiple times.

Cool. And I still think what was said during his speech is valid, as is his tweet the next day, the ADL’s comments about it and the fact that he’s an awkward prick.

Come and quote me when the Jewish community are insulted by Elons “salute”.

Otherwise, it’s probably time to be outraged about the next story.

Based on what though? You can't create a logically consistent claim that a guy who's been constantly promoting neonazis for the last year and a bit suddenly performed a well-known salute but with an entirely new and personal meaning behind it. You can SAY he meant it, but you can't form a logically consistent argument for it.

Okay:





Or do you just look for responses that confirm your view?
Otherwise I’m putting this one to bed. I’m sure there will be another new story tomorrow to be outraged about.
An unelected billionaire who has an office within the Whitehouse and who has spent the last year pushing neonazi propaganda and supporting neonazis performing an action identical to a neonazi salute is a pretty jarring thing. That said, with the firehose of bullshit methodology the right wing carries on with these days, it wouldn't surprise me if there's something new soon.
 
ADL are not a great source when it comes to anything Israel, they are staunchly biased in their defence of all things they do wrong. Basically call any single criticism of Israel, or any support of Palestine at all, as being automatically anti semantic. But won't call out anyone who has political or economic connections to Israel, who says or does something wrong. I take the word of other Jewish groups and other Civil Groups when it comes to issues in Gaza, as they don't play the anti semantic card, and call out both sides fairly. They used to be good, and fair, but likely paid off by lobbyists now days.

After previously feuding with Musk, the pro-Israel group rushes to defend his gesture, which critics compared with a Nazi salute.

Nice article, thanks for assisting me.

...That's describing the ADL's response. Do you have any comment on the four other Jewish advocacy groups' comments? Or on the rest of the post you deleted?

😂 😂 😂 :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: 🤡🤡🤡

Activists say the contrast between the ADL’s hurried defence of Musk and its efforts to demonise Palestinians and their supporters shows that the group is more focused on silencing voices critical of Israel than it is on fighting anti-Semitism.

“They have made it as clear as possible that they are not a reputable source of information when it comes to anti-Semitism. They are not actually prioritising the protection of Jewish communities at all.”

The first disagrees with the ADL and is a petition.

The second states the ADL is a “hateful group” dedicated to smearing Palestinian rights advocates.

The third states that he made a fascist Roman salute.

The fourth states that the pro-Israel group Zioness Disagrees with ADL.

You really haven’t provided as much as you think. Are you done yet?

“Activists say”

😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡

Well, that’s that then!! 😂😂🥴🥴
They must be correct!!!

The first is Bend The Arc, a Jewish advocacy group who called Musk's action a Seig Heil.
The second states the ADL is a “hateful group” dedicated to smearing Palestinian rights advocates.
The second includes a quote from Jewish Voices for Peace. Another Jewish advocacy group, although anti-zionist one.
The third states that he made a fascist Roman salute.
Yes, from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. Another Jewish group critical of Musk's action of performing a facist salute.
The fourth states that the pro-Israel group Zioness Disagrees with ADL.
Yes, another Jewish group saying that the ADL is incorrect to say there was nothing in the salue.
You really haven’t provided as much as you think. Are you done yet?
Not really. You asked me to get back at you when the Jewish community was insulted by Musk's actions. I provided four seperate groups who spoke out against it. You haven't addressed any of them.

You also missed this. Probably deliberately:

The ADL’s own former director, Abraham Foxman, wrote on X that he considered Musk’s actions “very disconcerting,” writing, “Elon Musk may be the world’s richest man but that does not excuse his thanking the Trump supporters with a Heil Hitler Nazi salute.”

So, yeah. A lot more condemning the salute than ignoring it. Any thoughts?
 
A reply from me regarding why he won’t apologise:


This is what respectful debate looks like. I don’t need an online W to fulfil my life. Take a leaf.
Lol then make your point and stop posting

Continuing to post the same position in the face of a knockback is the clearest sign you are posting for the W

Well, I did make my point. Then I said I was keen to put it to bed. Can’t exactly make that statement if you won’t accept my point.

Bed time, eh? Pretty done with this topic that’s going to be forgotten news in no time.

Leon, Tommy Two Names,
Why are you so annoyed about my disrespect for a multi-billionaire and a pommy neo-Nazi who even Nigel Farridge won't have a bar of?
Dead Cat Strategy.
It's a well-known strategy admitted to by BoJo.

These are what you’re going with and you want respect from another poster when replying to you?

Why on earth would I want to provide you with my time Chief?
OK then don't reply to me.
The above post is even more embarrassing. Move it on.
And there it is.

Concentrate on tone rather than the facts.

Elmo did the Nazi thing. It was so bizarre and shocking that many people thought it was AI generated to make him look bad.

I’m not annoyed. I just don’t particularly enjoy engaging with you if I’m honest.
I mean, you pretend to be all high and mighty, but then you protect racist moderators on this forum. Bit of a strange way to operate if you ask me.

I agree - move on
