- LiKao 2y agoDon't forget really bad jokes, such as making your product line spell out se*y and naming stuff after memes.
- askl 2y ago> such as making your product line spell out se*y Especially with exterior designs ranging between boring and ugly.
- mysterydip 2y agoOne time I took side views of each of them and scaled them all to the same size based on wheelbase. They're literally all the same design, just stretched. That's why they look so bad, in the same way a corvette would look bad stretched into an SUV.
- matthewdgreen 2y agoBring back dorky middle-school sense of humor Musk. I’m fine with S*XY and fart mode and even flamethrowers. If you can find a history of Musk headlines through the years you see that almost everything before 2018 is just dorky engineer stuff and jokes, and then post-2018 it’s mean and destructive.
- jajko 2y agoDoes anybody know what happened around that time, ie some personal tragedy?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThere was a pretty big epidemic of internet poisoning around that time that was followed immediately by COVID.
- tim333 2y agoAt the end of 2019 the TSLA stock price took off. Maybe it went to his head a little?
- matthewdgreen 2y agoOther people noted a lot of things. Another is that he traveled to Shanghai to set up a gigafactory.
- drawkward 2y agoIt was a nazi salute. >Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, which they attributed to the so-called Roman salute, a gesture that is wrongly thought to have been used in ancient Rome. This resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942. In other words, when people decided "fuck that, I don't want to look like a Nazi" they did something different. There is no plausible deniability; it was a nazi salute.

- nemo 2y agoWho are we going to believe, you or our lying eyes?
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoYou know, I initially didn't watch the video, because there's so much bs that I don't have time to consume all the bs. It seemed plausible to me that people would exaggerate or misrepresent what Musk did, because that's what people do in (current year argument). But then I watched the video, and it's just flat out a Nazi salute. There's no doubt. He's not "throwing his heart to the audience," he's not accidentally making a cumbersome gesture, he's just Heil Hitlering right in front of everybody. So I don't know what you mean by "unironically believe this." I don't know what the "mainstream media" says, and I don't really care. I have eyes. I can see what he did. So tell me this, whom should I believe, you and your complaints about the media, or my own eyes?

- rsynnott 2y ago> roman salutes It's worth noting that the Romans never did this. There was a fairly brief period in the 19th century where it was kind of a pop-culture Roman thing (it showed up in plays about Ancient Rome, that sort of thing), and then it was adopted by various nationalist groups, including the Italian fascists, and, ultimately, the Nazis. Unless you're a theatre fan who's been in a coma for the last 150 years, though, it's a fascist (or Nazi) salute; the use of the 'roman salute' term is (potentially accidental; I think maybe some people do think it was a real thing) sanewashing.

In other words, when people decided "fuck that, I dont want to look like a Nazi" they did something different. Which is precisely why what Musk did was a Nazi salute. Because we know not to do them for fear of being mistaken for a Nazi. The deniability is implausible at this stage.

- alabastervlog 2y agoHe did it twice. And I’m up to counting four more republicans who have done it since, not just caught in an awkward still with their arm out, just full-on did the thing in front of people on purpose. At least one of them at CPAC the other day. At least they’ve cut through any doubt about how to treat their entire party in a hurry. Anyone still with them is in-fact a nazi.
- colanderman 2y agoPlease don't use "autistic" as a slur.
- croisillon 2y agoi very much don't use "autistic" as a slur, my comment was a riff on how Muskites tried to defend the salute https://time.com/7208614/elon-musk-nazi-salute-reactions-debate-controversy-adl-trump-inauguration/ https://time.com/7208614/elon-musk-nazi-salute-reactions-deb...
