Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

[The Sultan]

What the ****

Well that was weird....

TBH when i was in Germany a few years ago i was looking to cross the road at a zebra crossing and a car stopped to let me cross. I gave them hand up wave/thanks, and i may have accidently got my arm a little straight and at about 45 degrees. thought to myself, "i probably shouldn't do that here"

That he did it at all or that he only did it twice?

7000 Euro fine for doing a Nazi salute in Germany (although I'm not sure how strictly it's enforced)

He has plausible deniability that he wasn’t doing a Nazi salute.

Unless he does it with his arm straight in front and says seig heil they can deny it.

If he did do that, they’ll say he’s just trolling. Either way, media can spin anything.

Elon is like a god to some people, he can do almost anything, but I hope that H1 visa or whatever it is doesn’t go away because that’s about the one thing he can’t get away with but of course, MAGA has an ulterior motive.

Shocked
The advisory group called the Department of Government Efficiency is losing one of its leaders before it even begins.

Vivek Ramaswamy, whom President Trump named in November as co-leader of the initiative alongside Elon Musk, will quit the project because he plans to run for governor of Ohio.

“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” said Anna Kelly, a spokeswoman for the White House, adding, “We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last two months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again!

To be fair, it’s more efficient now.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

It seems like one of his cronies dared him to see if he could get away with doing a Nazi salute on stage.

He tried to dress it up as "thank you from the heart" but he stuffed it up and did the salute too early.

He thinks he's such an edge-lord but he's really the ultimate cringe-lord.

Elon admitted to being a Nazi in the past, follows Nazi propaganda on Twitter, and subscribes to Nazi think like using eugenics to weed out genetic traits.

He's not denying anything.

Unexpected from a white bloke from apartheid South Africa

 

[stax on the mull]

One would think if there was a strategy behind the salute that it's because he's had a falling out with the likes of the crowd that follows Steve Bannon and his ilk and he's gesturing to win them back but it looks too involuntary.

It's like a Dr. Strangelove moment, except instead of getting it under control as Strangelove does with his other arm, Musk repeats it.

Textbook example of a dog whistle, just enough plausible deniability for nothing to happen but it’s clear what he was doing

[Not Important]

that “salute” does paint a clear picture and not a pleasant one.

i think it's very interesting that historians of fascism/the nazi party are all saying it's a nazi salute - whereas the collaborators are saying it isn't. very interesting i think

 

[Cooldude]

Nazi spawns are still ruining the world 80 years later. Starting to think Hitler lost WWII but he won the real war. One of the worst turning points in human history

 

[Chief]

I came into the thread to check that I wasn't seeing some stupid AI video of Elon doing a Nazi salute.

I find that it was not AI.

Amazing.

You'll be surprised to see who's downplaying it.

he was telling everyone he loved them with all of his heart.

I giggled like a school girl when I saw this one, interesting name to tweet correlation.
