Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Elon Musk repeatedly does Nazi Salutes at Post-Inauguration Celebration - FTFY
Some seriously soft language is being used by reporters. Just call it what it is. It was a clear sieg heil, twice!!
Many times a still shot can be taken at the right /wrong moment where it gives the illusion of a nazi salute. It annoys me when people say " oh my god that's a nazi salute " when it's someone in the middle of simply waving.
Then there's this guy who is doing something where there just isn't any other way to interpret the gesture. The only thing missing was him yelling Heil Trump!
Rare moment where the video context proves the point further
People insisting this isn't the salute because it doesn't resemble the "true nazi salute used by hitler himself". They're now nitpicking minor detail as a defend.
Yes, it's the intentions behind it just as equally.
It's like saying kys doesn't mean "kill yourself" just because it's doesn't spell it explicitly.
Appears???? It was.
no, it's not a simply fascist salute is a NAZI salute
when someone shows you who they are believe them
Say what we will, but he sure is living up to his role in government efficiency. It hasn't even been a full day and got straight to the point with his policies. In no more than a single gesture, too. /s
Musk is a piece of human shit. Do not in any way support him.
I’m assuming to thunderous applause?
Unfortunately, yes. In the video, the crowd goes wild.
I would say what I think but mods here will just delete it or ban me
I'll say it, let's see what happens!
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Go make the world a better place
Inglorious basterds is a documentary.
It's a nazi salute, objectively.
And very objectively, Musk knows it is, and knew it when he was doing it.
He is intelligent, he knows exactly what he's doing. The "playing dumb" card ain't gonna work.
