No shit, he actually did haha
Or he fucked up his dab
Not even a well-executed one either. I suppose back in the dark days he would be beaten up for this performance/disrespect to the Führer.
Stunning is also the TV commentary going in the direction of he had no idea it was the Hitler salute (to be fair two weeks prior he called Hitler a communist in a talk/interview with the chancellor candidate of the German neonazi party) …
Not knowing a thing about a movement that killed millions and happened within the last 100 years is bad. Being rich doesn’t mean being educated & civil.
The man has nothing but time and money. He has seen more videos of the Third Reich than most people, guaranteed. He is not an ignoramus, he’s a well informed and highly effective grifter who needs an ideology that supports his self worth in the face of his contradictions and cog dis.
he did it twice, with the hand going from the chest out. No chance it was accidental
The post you commented on links to the video… If you need an alternate link, here’s the video on NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/elon-musk-delivers-remarks-at-trump-s-inaugural-rally-229787717860
Genocide Joe & Kamala Cheney must be really proud
So at what point do you actually become a Nazi is it when start doing the seig heils or do you need to be like goose stepping down the street first?
Mask fully off
It’s called the Bellamy salute and it’s as American as Apple pie
Unfortunately for you, context matters. No matter how American this used to be you can’t plan to do a salute like this without planning for it to have clear connotations with the Nazi salute.
Unfortunately for you
satire is dead, I know.
downvotes on ML for ‘America bad’ didn’t seem right. I thought you people defederated.
Unfortunately for you, you repeated a talking point that is common right now even among purported leftist with no indication that it’s satire. It makes sense that the community reacted the same exact way they would to people they don’t want in this community who post that stuff unironically.
Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, attributed to the Roman salute, a gesture that was popularly believed to have been used in ancient Rome. This resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.
But yes, an obscure salute that was only used for a couple of decades over 80 years ago is very American…
