I'd pay to hear "Springtime, for Elon, ..." Although to be perfectly candid, I'm unsure that he meant that gesture as a Nazi salute. I dislike him for a bunch

I'd pay to hear "Springtime, for Elon, ..."
Although to be perfectly candid, I'm unsure that he meant that gesture as a Nazi salute. I dislike him for a bunch of other reasons about which I'm more certain.
- psunavy03 1y agoI'm 90 percent sure he meant it ironically, or at least in an attempt to be a stupid edgelord. But it was still an unacceptable enough asshole thing to do that he deserves every bit of blowback he's gotten. Like trying to call a black person the N-word "ironically," no, you don't get a pass. You're just a different flavor of "bad person."
- ryandrake 1y agoEverything the guy comes out with strikes me as "14 year old doing and saying edgy things to try to look cool to the upperclassmen."

- iwontberude 1y agoTres Comas
- iwontberude 1y agoalso his wielding of the chainsaw with that wimpy yelp
- cosmicgadget 1y agoIf it were me I'd probably follow it up with "I meant it ironically" rather than complain about the left trying to cancel me.
- oharapj 1y agoConsidering his support of far right German parties around the same time, it seems far more likely he was doing it to curry favour like he’s tried to do with Trump
- psunavy03 1y agoSee "stupid edgelord."
- oharapj 1y agoHow is currying favor and badly attempting to dogwhile (turned out to be a full blown whistle that people somehow still didn't hear) being an edgelord? Being an edgelord is saying something 'wrong' to try to be badass. Elon is funding and supporting far right parties to try to enrich himself. These things are not the same lol
- cosmicgadget 1y agoHe's also retweeted Holocaust deniers. Could be a coincidence but that's would be enough for Elon to tweet "Someone should look into this".
- hydrogen7800 1y agoYeah, any single incident could be waived as just being an edgelord. But there are many.
- CursedSilicon 1y agoGiven his immediate actions the next day were to make a bunch of puns about how he "did Nazi the backlash coming" on twitter? It's much harder to give him the benefit of the doubt
