Just to clarify. This is the video context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw
Are you claiming that this is not an accurate depiction of what happened on stage? (That is the video is in some form fake. A deep fake, or special effects, or an Elon impersonator or whatever.)
Or are you claiming that the gesture seen is not a nazi salute?
- user34283 8mo agoYes, "nazi salute" is obviously not an accurate description of the gesture Musk performed before saying "my heart goes out to you".
- breve 8mo agoHere's a thought experiment for you. If I stuck my middle finger up at you while saying "my heart goes out to you", what would you think?
- user34283 8mo agoProbably not that you support the Nazi regime, as that would be a ridiculous thing to think. Particularly so if a year before you visited Auschwitz and stated it was "tragic that humans could do this to other humans", and told us how you attended a Hebrew preschool and have a lot of Jewish friends.
- breve 8mo agoI didn't ask you what you wouldn't think. I asked you what you would think.
