For context, it's a very clear Nazi Salute — and Musk did it more than once. The NYT is implying doubt because they're afraid of losing access if they speak the truth and because some people who are financially dependent on Musk are denying what it was in public.

There's so speculation needed, unless you are a fucking retard; he did a Nazi salute. Twice. Fuck him.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Confirmed. You have to be a literal retard to think it was anything else other than a blatant sieg heil.

He did it exactly like Nazis did it too.

Start at chest and then fully extend. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer/flag.

Compare and contrast:

It's going to be a long four+ years.

Hitler looked better at doing it.

Elon Musk was incredibly uncoordinated in his display.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair, he is literally not good at anything.

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

He's pretty good at buying out the election and consolidating power.

He's terrible at video games, programming, rockets and more. But power-is-power.

The man can boot more ket than a horse, I’ll give him that.

All he can do is spend money. Can't do anything himself. Just buys already established companies and has other people run it. The only thing he actually has tried running (Twitter) has greatly depreciated in value, both in terms of money and content.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

He might not even be good at that either, let's see what I can do with that kind of money. For science.

He's a great father!

The 4 year myth needs to be dispelled. There is no magical reset button every 4 years. Damage done can't be magically erased at the end of a 4 year period.

We're entering a period of American decline that's going to last a lot longer than 4 years. Buckle up. As shitty as the 2000s have been for a lot of us, we're going to look back at the early 2000s as a golden age.

Whoa I'm saving this one. Imgur could accidentally get a glitch that deletes these videos for no reason whatsoever. You never know!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well he has his hand under a different angle, that MUST make all the difference!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Also, he's biting his lip. You need the Serious Face to make the proper salute.

Did Jeff Bezos' Washington Post mention it at all? The only thing I can find is "Elon Musk gives exuberat speech at inauguration", a video which only shows part of it.

Least fascism-enabling NYT headline

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Only from cowards and those who support him. The rest of us know exactly what he's doing. Him and Trump are cosplaying the Third Reich and they've done everything they can to tell you all that this is the case.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Inauguration day 2017, the defining moment was "American carnage". This year it's this. Fine job, America.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know the guy practiced this move in front of his mirror the night before.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

And in front of his employees asking for tips & suggestions. You know damn well he told every person he could to pump his ego. He's an insecure frat boy.

"Show us again, boss! Show us how you're going to do it!"

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 year ago

Fucking Hell NY Times can you please just not be a myopic piece of shit and actually call a nazi a nazi. All of this enabling hang-wringing pearl-clutching nonsense is part of how we got in this problem.

There's no speculation, the Nazi who defended Nazis in Europe have a Nazi salute in a massive Nazi venue.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

What's there to speculate about? They should start speculating their blindness.
