"No, see, it's not a salute because his hand is tilted .026 degrees higher than that of Adolf Hitlers Nazi salute, so how can you even compare the two things, they're completely different!!!"

Tbf, Adolf Hitlers salutes were really sloppy.
Seriously, he had the worst heils. He would just flop his front arm up.
They're gonna be mad that you insulted the führer
Hitler was also whacked out of his mind on methamphetamine most of the time, just like this jackass
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
You could absolutely just replace anti-semites here with fascists, to encompass all the other minorities they intend to oppress
He can't quite get that arm up real good, can he.
Billionaire can't even get a well-fitting suit.
I vote for a rebrand of MAGA: Make America Go Aryan.
Do you mean that Iran (translates to the land of the Aryans) should govern the USA? Or do you hint towards the Nazi race theories? But I thinkt the only Trump child that could be considered "Nazi approved Aryan" is Tiffany Trump, the others are all half slavic and thus considered sub-humans.
1932 was a pivotal year in the Nazis’ ascent. It’s a terrifying parallel for today

CNN is already sane-washing this, referring to Musk's "odd gesture."
The ADL said it wasn't a Nazi salute, for what it's worth.
they have lost all credibility.
And AOC called them out for downplaying it as well.
ADL = Anti Democracy League in this case, maybe in others, but definitely in this one.
Also known as the Apartheid Defense League
Which discredits them entirely

Elon Musk's appearance at a Trump rally this afternoon is garnering significant attention online over a one-armed gesture.
He made the gesture while thanking supporters for contributing to Trump's victory. Musk thanked the crowd for "making it happen", before placing his right hand over his heart and then thrusting the same arm out into air straight ahead of him.
"My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilisation is assured," he said.
Several users on X, the social medial platform he owns, have likened the gesture to a Nazi salute.
Musk has since responded, posting on his social media site X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."
I wish western journalists would have opted to become compost instead. Compost is useful.
Securing the future and a nazi salute, but we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes.
The real excuse from Elons fans is "It's just a joke." Or "He's trolling libs."
Which is almost as bad, even if true.
It reminds me of school bullies that would make cutting, abusive "jokes" and follow it up with "Just kidding, bruh" if it doesn’t land right. And these are some of the worst human beings I have ever personally encountered.
How can people worship something like that at such scale? Like, I wouldn’t even wish that on the most raging Nazi, it’s worse than breaking their jaw.
Another one I saw was "But Kamala Harris did it as well" which is just a frame and had to yet see an link to the video in question unlike when Elon Musk did it
Yeah that's bad, there are fields where you shouldn't joke and politics is one of them.
At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let's see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).
I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).
They might, since deregulation is another of Trump's plans. Then the producers can save money by not bothering to keep dangerous substances out of the food, or the water, or the air... and pass those "savings" on to the consumers.
and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.
More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.
That only works for so long before shit like the avian flu kills all the flocks.

If you don't need to look for Avian flu, or stop selling eggs from sick Chickens, then cost savings can be passed on to customers, and no one will notice increased healthcare costs/deaths. Cheap eggs y'all.
Deregulating the industry while we're on the cusp of a bird flu epidemic and after pulling out of WHO. 💀

"Managed democracy sounds good" - Elon Musk
That's an on the money quote
Maybe arrested and then let go without any consequences. These guys are too rich to have proper punishments.
MAGAts ain’t cryin tho
The normalization and defenses of it, the crying maga soyjack, has been coming from the the major media networks from what I have seen.
MAGA is stroking it.
He is crying from happiness, until, as always, affects their family members.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
No, it’s probably a nazi. I don’t care how it looks or where it swims or even if it quacks.
If they aren’t in 1940’s Germany supporting Hitler, they aren’t Nazis.
You can never use history as an example, don’t these people know that?
And comparisons are illegal.
:p
Steps like a goose.
I asked the Anti-Duckification League and they say he's a swan. You're misconstruing things and frankly we find it a bit weird that you'd read so far into such a banal hand gesture.
Now, if you'll excuse me, we need to get back to our primary goal of making the use of the phrase "From the River, To The Sea" a capital crime.
conspiracy theorists taking us for idiots, nothing new(, even if you're taking it quite farther than usual).
On the side of real stuff happening : D.Trump said a lot in his inauguration speech, and just put Cuba back on the terrorist states list, seems worth more discussion than your fantasies.
