Showing Original Post only (View all)holy crap! eloon gives two nazi salutes, ADL defends eloon, AOC blasts ADL [View all]
what a day! so glad i didn't sit and watch the shit
there is the musk nazi salutes in video at link

In a statement posted to social media later on Monday, the ADL said: This is a delicate moment. Its a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Lets hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a high-profile progressive Democratic congresswoman from New York, blasted the ADL: Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

Musk is high as chit and a POS, but I agree with ADL when you look at the entire akward movement. He's still a POS.

Nazis worshipped Musk, trump, Miller, etc., long before today. They probably applaud trump's jerking off two guys dance

I'm more interested in matters/issues that might convert people who voted for trump. This junk won't.

How dare anyone criticize that right wing organization that dismissed the behavior.

Next for the ADL: "Hey, it's looking like the swastika is just a misunderstood frisbee."

His "alliance" with Jews was to cover his ass and only came after he was attacked for antisemitic comments.

If they see Elon as a strong supporter of Israel, that will take precedence over anything else.

The ADL knows full well how much hate speech flourishes on X regardless of what charms Musk wears.

Wow. Thanks for the info. And Greenblatt used to work for Obama. No wonder he defended Musk.

Musk was just being irrationally exuberant, as was Dr Strangelove in the video below
