    I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.

      I assume it sucks feeling consequenses for the first time in his life. I hope he feels some more consequenses.

    In Musk logic: it’s not bad when he does it. It’s bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.

      There’s nothing wrong with sucking cocks. There’s everything wrong with being a greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy.

        Don’t forget creating and awarding a unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy for the founder and moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots!

            u/violentacrez moderated a whole bunch of NSFW subs during the early days of Reddit, and was a notorious and infamous user. Among the subs he founded and moderated were r/jailbait and r/creepshots (which consisted of pictures of women taken without their consent).

            For his services to Reddit, a custom, unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy was created and awarded to him. This is all ancient Reddit history at this point, though. u/violentacrez’s account was suspended eventually and subs like jailbait and creepshots are closed down these days.

        There’s nothing wrong with sucking cock but there is no doubt with a face like that he loves the idea of chocking on a cock as he fondles the nuts.

          You seem contradictory. Are you sure you’re not homophobic? Not trying to bait. No need to answer me at all. Just calling for your own self reflection.

    On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.

    That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

        Most likely Musk was testing the waters, but there’s also a high probability that he’s just plain stupid, after all, this is the same guy who pretended to be the best PoE2 player by paying others to play the game for him, only to then accidentally expose his own lie on a live stream.

        Regardless of his reasons for making the gesture at that moment, taking into account his family history and the parties and people he supports, that gesture was without a shadow of a doubt a Nazi salute whose ideology he admires.

          It’s pretty well-known (as he admitted on SNL in 2021) that Elon Musk has Asperger’s Syndrome. This is evident in his inability to understand social cues and appropriate communication, his hardwired complete lack of empathy, and his strange and overpowering obsession with the letter X. He probably thinks he’s being edgy or hilarious without understanding that there are social consequences for those things that he does not have the ability to comprehend in the moment. Even scarier, actually, if you look into the history of the man the condition was named for (Hans Asperger) and some of the things he was into… you know, like generic purity and being a Nazi.

            I also have Asperger’s syndrome, it’s just the old name given to the condition of those who presented autism with the mildest symptoms of the spectrum, it doesn’t take away my ability to know the meaning of a Nazi salute and what doing it represents, so I see no reason to excuse him because of that.

      I never actually watched the video. Now that I watched I think he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute. He pressed his chest before raising his hand. I think he meant to salute his audience. That would also align with what he’s saying.

          Yes, the way a Nazi would - now shut the fuck up about it not being a Nazi salute.

          You shut the fuck up. Bring your toxicity and unhappy life elsewhere.

          Imagine some random person on the internet said something you don’t like and you immediately get triggered like that. Laughable.

              People on the internet are way too soft and emotional these days. Man-up and stop wining about trivialities. My comment was not Nazi related. It was just an observation. No reason to be insulting.

        He had ample opportunity to go back and apologize, say he didn’t mean to, with how it looked, anything. But no he went to double down with anti semitism, and supporting the afd. He didn’t, it was a nazi salute, and it shouldn’t be shouldn’t be defended.

          Unbelievable how such a trivial and unimportant comment that I wrote while taking a shit can trigger such a fuss here. Insults after insults. Why can you not relax for a moment and be happy? I meant no harm with my comment. Blocking accounts on the Fediverse based on that… Pathetic
