Re Eloon's two or three Nazi salutes at the inaugural today.
Scanning the MSM headlines moments ago:
It was a heat of the moment salute, not a real salute -CNN
Elon Musk accused of giving odd looking salute.
It was a Roman salute.
Taken out of context - there is no fucking context for that. Still illegal in Europe.
He was just giving his heart to the crowd. - that one just blows.
Don't fall for it, don't think it's normal. It is what it is. They will tell you you must be crazy to think he gave a Nazi salute. When Eloon shows you who he is, believe him.
IMHO

Musk was just caught up in the moment right?
Meanwhile Proud Boys march though DC chanting "who's streets, our streets"
This is going to be a rough fucking ride.

(1,644 posts)The Trump spokesperson said that he will lead by peace through strength. That is a Hitler quote. The news person didn't call it out.

(687 posts)...that the guy supporting the man who called the "Jews will not replace us" chanters in Charlottesville VA "Fine people" was not giving a Nazi salute.
...that the guy embracing Right Wing Neo Nazi White Supremacist Richard Spencer and his "Heil Trump" comments with his followers giving the Nazi salute in 2016 (and several others at Trump rallies back then-YouTube is full of their nonsense).
Occam's razor definitely applies here (and Godwin's Law doesn't).
