For anyone wondering: that’s a Flag.

    If I ‘accidentally’ did a Nazi salute, as a non-Nazi I would spend the next week:

    • Making clear that I do not agree with Nazis
    • Rejecting praise from Nazis calling me ‘based’
    • Not tweeting out a series of Nazi puns
    • Not campaigning for a far-right anti-semitic German party

    If I did the opposite of all these things it would be because I want everyone to know it was no accident. Anyone still saying ‘who knows what he means by any of it’ after this week is either a lying POS, bought and paid for, or just thick as a cement brick

      “B-but… He’s autistic!” As far as I know, autism’s only makes you kinda weird and socially awkward, not a moron nor a freaking Nazi!

        Also like… That’s probably the only time you’ll see sympathy over neurodivergency from the people saying that

        I have 2 autistic boys and Ive said this repeatedly to them and shared it here. Autism does not entitle you to be an asshole

        Elons parents clearly did not teach him this, or they failed.

      You would probably instantly say you were sorry for doing a hand wave that could have been perceived as nazi. That it was not your intention and that you are terribly sorry.

      He has not said so anywhere, the media said it for him but he hasn’t clarified shit.

          I don’t feel like verifying that all of them happened directly but I can say at the very minimum the last dot isn’t something he did. Because… you know. Reality.

            What?? The last bullet point is literally the subject of the thread you’re on. The picture in this post is from Musk campaigning for the AfD which is a far-right German party that is well-known for being antisemitic. I can’t tell if you’re utterly clueless or trolling right now.
