Elon's response to the world saying they saw a Nazi salute at the presidential inauguration. Not quite an "oops, I didn't mean it that way"

The salute is just a symbol of much larger antisemitic moves by Elon. It's not hard to find neo Nazis posting swastikas and the like and many Jewish users have indicated that reporting those images goes nowhere despite them being specifically enumerated as banned in the official terms of use. There's plenty of evidence out there that Elon is in fact a far right racist if not outright Nazi.

A rich white guy from South Africa might be a nazi? I hardly believe it!

Notice how the state of Israel has nothing to say about this?

Possibly. Difficult to say these days, Israeli apologists are often crossing the line of total ridiculousness trying to justify murdering civilians so I may be overreacting.

In what let's call the Jewish diaspora there is a strong thread of fascism. The fascists currently (and for some time now) are in control of the israeli government. If the israeli people were not in support of such fascism they are doing a poor job of expressing it. Globally fascism among jews is not universal, probably not even a majority though I have no hard data here. Anecdotally among the Jewish people I know there is one rabidly fascist of the kill all the Palestinians ilk, a few who claim not to support genocide but will get loud and in your face at any criticism of it and many who are disgusted by it and will openly say so. Your mileage may vary.

Oh, WOW! Glad I asked. Will happily add this to a conversation with a 'skeptical' friend.
Honestly, I found some genuinely funny and actually laughed. But I would never share stuff like that in public, if at all, certainly not in a position like Musk, especially not after that salute. Guess he's testing the waters or normalizing.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the info with screenshot! Once more, reality trumps satire. When asking the question, I thought it might be about some hints here and there requiring interpretation. I did not expect something so blatant.

Nothing to say? The ADL defended Elon!

That's because Isreal has been slowly co-opted by xenophobic right wing extramists under the guise of survival.

The fact that 152 thousand people hearted that post is so disheartening.

Yeah... this and other organizations concluded that he didn't perform a nazi salute.... so what's the deal? Why are so many sources still saying he did nazi salute?
Right after he did that, he said, "My heart goes out to you." And later denied again.
Why such a smear campaign?

Because most people learned the fucking lesson that there is ZERO justification. Inexcusable even as a mistake for someone in that position no matter how he got there, and inexcusable to dismiss it.

Also, it's pretty wild that absolutely zero effort has been made "correcting" all the actual card-carrying nazis who celebrate every major action that Musk makes, from restoring their accounts on social media to boosting their memes and messages for years now. There's clips out there of people with swastika tattoos sieg-heiling recordings of Musk's "awkward gesture" and they look exactly the same.
Tell us again how we shouldn't trust our own eyes. I think there was a book somewhere that talked about this. I'd recommend looking into it.

What "lesson"? So, even if unintentional, any salute even similar to the nazi salute should call for condemnation?
The mainstream media are pushing this hard as hell, just raking Elon over the coals.
So many here have lost the plot

White nationalists are just the same as white supremacists. If there are Jewish people who think Christian Nationalism will protect them, they're forgetting that Nazis were and are very Christian.
Authoritarian leaders turn on their own people and supporters all the time, this has been proven time and again in history. Whatever America is now though, there is still hope in the judiciary and the constitution.

I think it’s fair to say that when people are facing an existential threat they find it hard to criticize that which protects them. People should just be anti-genocide because leaders cannot be trusted all the time. But what are the chances that the Muslim citizens in Arab countries would protest if a genocide happens to their perceived enemies? Sometimes the best defense people have against authoritarianism is empathy, don’t let something happen to someone else that you don’t want happening to you.

You really have to be fucking brainwashed to believe that shit. HE DID IT TWICE IN A ROW THE EXACT SAME WAY
Not only did he do it twice in a row the same exact way, but he did a Nazi salute in the exact same manner as Adolf Hitler did and modern neo-nazis do.
No one can tell me that my eyes didn't see a Nazi salute when they did see it as plain as day.
What's REALLY fucked up is that people like you are still defending a Nazi salute. You are a Nazi apologist.
