Precisely. From the outset, the focus has been on the action Musk took—an action visually identical to a Nazi salute.

His intent is known only to him.

However, to argue that his gesture was anything but indistinguishable from a Nazi salute is both disingenuous and outright nonsense.

Yes, his gesture was the same as that of a Nazi salute

Thank you.

Elon gave a Nazi Salute.

End of discussion.

There you go again!

All that verbosity of yours, masking poor thinking...

Musk used a gesture that was the same as a fascist (let's not leave Mussolini out of this) salute.

As did the bloke in New York on 59th Street this morning... Doo-ait-n-doo-doo...

This thread isn't about distracting to the bloke on 59th Street trying to catch a cab, it's about Musk.

Context is key, as I said earlier.

If you don't like that, don't take part.

Simples.

Musk did what he did. No limpwristed attempts to distract away from it will change what was done. That's now locked into our history.

And it won't go away, no matter how hard the current post-truth administration, their sycophants or deranged supporters try to normalise Nazi iconography.

You really are a simpleton hiding behind a teenage grasp of English.

And let's not beat about the bush as you try to squeeze out a turd of self-respect...

This thread is about hand-flappers claiming that Musk has outed himself as a pro-Nazi.

Indeed, he did.

Hardly surprising considering the Trump/Musk white-supremacist agenda.

His gesture did not unequivocally expose him as a pro-Nazi. If anything points in that direction, it would be his posts on X. However, his lack of charisma and his awkward demeanour in person extends to his online presence too, so I don't believe that those actions are anything more than him trolling and not indicative of his beliefs.

It is simply trolling, and as such, I doubt anyone takes it seriously.

But let us be clear, that was never the claim I made, nor is it the point of contention here, at least not from my perspective.

What I have stated, and I cannot speak for others, is that during his speech, he executed a Nazi salute at its conclusion. Not once, but twice.

This is an indisputable fact.

There is nothing more to elaborate upon.

I understand you do not approve of his actions, but you appear trapped in a cycle where, because of his alignment with Trump, you feel compelled to direct your outrage not at him, but at those who dare to call attention to his behaviour.

And so, here we are.

End of discussion.

Just so. Elon gave a Nazi salute - twice - at a a US presidential inauguration.

One of the most choreographed events in the world. Speakers vetted, speeches reviewed, everything rehearsed to a tee. An event broadcast to the entire world, sending out a message of American exceptionalism, freedom, hope, unity and the peaceful transfer of power.

Then and there, Elon paused, steeled himself and trolled out his own message - a Nazi salute.

A bullied South African schoolboy, now a globalist elite, buys his way into the centre of US power. He could have given a peace sign, a thumbs-up or a simple wave to the crowd, but no. He chose to go the way of white nationalist far-right trolls, many outed, shamed and vilified for doing just the same. As a gesture of solidarity, Elon gave a Nazi salute.

I hardly think it's the end of the discussion, Sad. It seems like the start of the most important discussion we'll ever have.

But that's just me.

You are very wacist towards African Americans who are known, like pakis and other excitable types, to be much more ebullient than Scandi Protestants of Scotch Presbyterians.
Respect the différance. It is our strength, after all, différance, no?

You "understand I do not approve of his actions"... who do you think you are?

Musk did not "execute a Nazi salute" at his "conclusion" or anywhere else - that would mean that he intended to promote and advance Nazi ideology - which he didn't.
