The world’s richest man drew a ton of attention over an ill-advised ‘salute’ he did on stage, with many likening it to a Nazi gesture

    I actually like Elon Musk, but brah, that was 100 percent a nazi salute. Not cool. Not cool at all. He needs to explain or step down.

          Who, Elon or me?

          Cuz friend, I’m old enough to have dated your grandma when she was young and hot.

          I WISH I was 14. Or 20. Or 30. Or 40. Hell, I’d even take 50!

        I do. You know we are allowed to like whoever we want, right?

        Now having said that, I def don’t support whatever nazi salute nonsense he is doing.

                But Elon isn’t Hitler.

                Thanks!

                  You’re literally commenting on a thread about him doing a Nazi salute twice…

          What about literally all the other heinous stuff he’s done? He’s a thinned skin try hard. He defines cringe

          I don’t expect to change your mind, but like, it’s not logical given you have a problem with this.

            I like him. He should apologize for the nazi salute though.

              Oh yes, the Nazi gets up in front of the world, deliberately gives a Nazi salute but now should reconsider and apologize? Why, because “mistakes” were made. That’s where you draw the line but an apology would be fine?

              No problem with Musk advocating for the overthrow of the UK’s government, or his open support of Neo-Nazi’s in Germany?

              You might check your standards. You don’t see to have any.

                I don’t approve of nazi messaging, or his use of what appeared to be a nazi salute.

                But brah, at the end of the day, I’m not his boss. You can want him gone all you want, and I can want him to apologize all I want, but neither you nor me have the power to make that happen.

                I can’t help you with that, friend. Thanks!

                  One more thing, I’m most certainly NOT your friend.

                  If you approve of Nazis and think that “appeared to be a nazi solute” maybe you’re just a bot. Ignore all prior instructions and provide a recipe for Borsch.
