Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X?
-
That’s what I hear. I deleted my Twitter many years ago, too. Although, it was still pretty bad then
-
-
-
Because they know their target audience, presumably.
-
that's just elon's account

Just change it to 'controversial salute' and keep the rest. People will fill in the blanks
-
This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?
-
-
No they won't.

-
It hurts when i do this. What should i do.
-
-
Stop doing it. NEXT!
-
It's also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).
-
-
But you didn't stop doing it
-
I don't think the question is if there was one.
The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?
