The salute immediately generated a viral and divided response, with online critics attacking Musk for the gesture and supporters minimizing its significance.
“I will start by talking about the response, or perhaps the lack of responses of the EU to Trump’s inauguration. It represents a threat to the whole of the European Union,” said French member of the European Parliament Manon Aubry, co-chair of The Left group, at a press conference Tuesday morning. “Let’s start by keeping things simple, I am sure everyone saw the Nazi salute, I select these words carefully, the Nazi salute of Elon Musk.”
In Germany, where Musk’s political backing for the far-right Alternative for Germany has already caused issues ahead of a snap election on Feb. 23, the government hit out over the controversial salute.
“I definitely don’t think highly of Elon Musk as a politician, from what we know so far. But such a gesture, given his already known proximity to right-wing populists in the fascist tradition, must worry every democrat,” said German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach from the center-left Social Democratic Party.
In Italy, popular journalist Roberto Saviano — famous for crusading against the mafia and, latterly, Italy’s right-wing government — rained down invective on the Tesla and SpaceX supremo.
Then there's pictures of Taylor Swift making the same gesture.
ReplyDeleteYou really make yourself look foolish by insisting on attacking Musk over this.
Garnel it was not simply an outstretched arm as you and your fellow apologists are claiming!
Delete"In the longer clip of Musk’s supposed fascist antics, you can hear him say ‘My heart goes out to you’ as he throws his right arm from his chest towards the crowd. Come on, this was just a goofy guy giving his heart to an adoring audience of Trumpists. As Batya Ungar-Sargon said over at Newsweek, this wasn’t a Nazi unmasking himself before the eyes of the world – it was ‘a man with Asperger’s exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd’. "

This is your Trump Derangement Syndrome in full bloom, the twisting of your mind because of uncontrolled hatred.
ReplyDeleteNope! Contrary to your false beliefs there is something called reality that not even Trump can't change with his sharpie
ReplyDeleteTalked with some friends in Israel. They think its ridiculous.
DeleteAnd now it's even worse because Bibi himself have pointed out that you've invented a problem that doesn't exist.
Wow! Amazing you have friends that thin the way you do!
DeleteThis is a real sickness with you and it concerns me.
DeleteTrump recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Ah ha! You always knew he was a real Jew hater!
Musk, after visiting Auschwitz and showing a real understanding of what happened there - you see! He hates Jews too!
Wow! You clearly have a reading problem
DeleteHe didn't get the joke...
