I would cut Germany some slack here. Because of their history, too much criticism of Israel would likely be counterproductive.

Given the genocide in Gaza, it also gives Germany the benefit of saying (sotto voce) "See, what we did wasn't so bad. Even they're doing it when given the chance"...

Are you fucking serious?

Pathetic. Being a Nazi apologist is a weird hill to die on, but I guess it works for you

Seems pretty valid. Musk has claimed it was an innocent gesture. Plenty of other politicians have done something similar, per these examples.

If he was really hoping to somehow signal his Nazi bona fides, he's going to come out and say it. He's not exactly shy about saying controversial and/or stupid stuff.

Another Nazi apologist. No shock. Every bit as pathetic.

If you believe that why don't you post yourself performing the same gesture on social media. Or do it at your job.

Let us know how it goes for you.

I've done it. No issues. Usually people just wave good bye back, but then again, no one normal immediately jumps to the conclusion that there are millions of Nazis wandering around.

You and GT actually may be dumb enough to not see the difference in those videos, but that does not mean the rest of us are.

Or you're a Nazi apologist.

Which is it?

Or you may be dumb enough to see a significant difference when there isn't one.

The difference I saw is that Elon specifically said "My heart goes out to you" after doing the motion.

So if I have this right the excuses have gone from him being autistic and enthusiatic, to it being a different type of salute, to all politicians do this, to him saying that his heart goes out to people - which is an expression he has used before with an entirely different non Nazi gesture.

All I have to say is if I ever see anybody say that their heart goes out to me and they do that gesture, I too will immediately say that I'm not doing what I'm about to do.

I'm not making an excuse for anyone. I'm saying all three made the same gesture, but Elon specifically said "My heart goes out to you" after doing it.

Nazi apologists fuck off

So, you believe that Elon does, or thinks about, the Nazi salute so often in his everyday life, that it just comes out uncontrollably and being in a situation where uttering "My heart goes out to you" made perfect sense, was just a fortunate turn of events?

Do I have that right?

No, you don't. But that's not terribly surprising given how little you have right.
 
They're everywhere. You can't have a discussion with someone that disagrees with you without one popping up somewhere. Glad a few brave folks on here have the finely tuned radar to be able to spot a Nazi and the walnuts to call them a Nazi on an anonymous message board.
