made an awkward gestureforgot he wasn't supposed to do the Nazi salute in public in a moment of enthusiasm...
FTFYForgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.
People seem to forget that the ADL is not a Jewish advocacy group, they are an Israeli lobby group. Israel is a far-right government that is actively engaged in genocide.
Also remember it’s in Israel’s best interest to conflate Jews with zionists and make people worldwide hate Jews so they make Aaliyah to Israel and create babies for the IDF. Also the goal of the “birthright” program (what a fascist name right?!)
If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn't apologise for making a nazi salute.
Is "Thanks guys" the only comment he's made on the topic?
(Asking here because I don't have a twitter account)
I remember reading he also just laughed it off and said people are just paranoid and see what they want to see.
A pretty good tell-tale sign of a fascist is that they will never apologize or admit doing wrong. You have to appear strong at all times.
Never forget that the ADL spied on American citizens for Apartheid South Africa on behalf of Israel during the Reagan administration.
on behalf of Israel
Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
I'm not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.
This was a literal investigated criminal case, this isn't supposition.
Your serious doubts is nothing more than ignorance.
EDIT: Another thing that is not supposition. Israel was one of the final supporters of Apartheid South Africa. They supported them even after the US stopped.
Pick up a history book.
And Yes, Israel has just spent the last 15 months committing what every human rights organization has declared a genocide. Can't get more nazi'ish then committing a genocide.
Israel has a complex relationship with Nazis.
During WW2, the Lehi terrorist organization actually tried to join in the war on the side of the Nazis.
One of the men behind this initiative went onto become prime minister of Israel in the early 1980s.
The Lehi terrorist organization folded into the IDF in 1949.
Now, there was a philosopher who was a member of Lehi, he took Nazi ideology and sort of swapped master race and the undesirable race. God's chosen people had to be the master race, and the Arabs who lived in on the land were declared to be undesirable.
As a note, the Lehi prime minister was Netanyahu's political mentor.
An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
Historically, yes.

If Elon walked out wearing a red arm band with a swastika, the ADL would be talking about its history as a Hindu symbol.
"Mr. Musk has provided us with another delicate moment, demonstrating the ancient Roman salute combined with a Hindu symbol. It appears that the talk about the AI-operated gas chambers was a bit of an awkward slip, and it's best we do not further aggravate the division of our nation."
Maybe he had no1 near he could've given a hug. Or nobody near wanted to hug a Nazi. So this 'awkward gesture' was his cry for help. To help him take the burden of billions and billions off of him. And ask Betty Ford centre to take care of him for the next decades.
Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.
A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.
IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.
The most important lesson I learned in Hebrew school was that the Holocaust would have not been possible without IBM.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I pray to St. Luigi of the Holy Adjustment
This is the only correct answer.
He's laughing at them. He feels so safe.
He's laughing with them, they're out there gaslighting people for him.
I'd imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can't gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.
I'd imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it's not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.
I'd feel pretty safe if I literally controlled the platform everyone was speaking on, too.
What a shame if
Reminder that Zionists like to collaborate with antisemites, in the hopes of accelerating emigration to Israel.
Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good "solution" to the "Jewish question" before he came up with the final solution.
Wait, stop! I think I heard this story already.
The ADL exposed themselves as a hate group 14 months ago
Regardless of if he intended to do a Nazi salute or not exposing the public to that level of cringe should be a capital offense.
I hope his Tesla malfunctions with him in it. Shitty ass car killing a shitty ass person would be chefs kiss
Now that I can certainly agree with.
Who/what is ADL?
Anti-Defamation League. Basically a zionist organization that goes after anything they percieve as being anti-semitic. Their definition of anti-semitic typically seems to include vocally supporting Palestine & not supporting Israel.
Part of what makes this noteworthy is they call anti-semitism often in dubious cases where it is not present - so them defending Elon sieg heiling multiple times is unusual, but also likely a calculated move to not distance their organization from president musk's administration.
It used to be Anti-Defamation League but it's looking more like AIPAC Defense League.
They're an organization that calls out antisemitism.
Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.
It's Zionist propaganda and intimidation.
So they're a Nazi organization
Anti-Defamation League. They're a non-profit political group that state their mission is to combat anti-Semitism. They're mostly a pro-Isreal group.
They spied for a foreign government. They should have been required to register as foreign agents and the only reason they didn't was because the foreign government was Israel. Instead they just had to notify the US citizens they spied upon that they spied upon them, and what they discovered.
ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.
ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
what the hell weird timeline are we on.
The ADL has been in Trump's pocket ever since he moved the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Musk attended Netanyahu's visit to Congress. And Musk went to Israel for a propaganda tour of oct7.
Fun fact zero babies were shot in their crib on oct7
Nazis defend a nazi doing a nazi salute. Color me shocked.
Yeah it was just "my heart goes to all of you" also known as "Meine Ehre heißt Treue”.
I heard of ADL Wayy before this,And its pretty classic they are doing this judging by their past.
(oops wrong acc but its fine)
Why wouldn't they? The ADL has never had a problem with fascism, they're one of it's staunchest supporters.
🤣 /s
As long as you grease the right palms you're never in the wrong
Soooooo many Nazis to tag on Lemmy today
Lol is the Elon response real of photoshopped? Man what an asshole if true. I mean, also asshole if not.
I've always suspected this man was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but I was told I was overthinking it. I wonder if the ppl who told me that I was wrong remember doing so.
Same old nazi/zio bond.

And there’s people on Lemmy repeating these exact words
I don't know who adl is but this is correct. he actually was going off on the us putting astronaughts on mars because he wants trump to funnel money to his company. He was making all these broad gestures and we are going to put a flag here and here. honestly I practically would have prefered a straight out nazis salute.
He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could've been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it
yeah. sorry if it sounded like he did not its just his whole thing went into this america fuck yeah type of thing that followed in lets get people on mars which worries me more as I hear a big sucking of tax money sound from him. what he was going on about would cost someone (cough us) trillions and not just one. many many. but yeah why that is his go to excitement gesture is pretty disturbing.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe this was simply a mistake? Never assume Malice for something that can be explained by utter stupidity. If it was intentional he probably would be bragging about it non stop.
Two times. One after another. He did it two times specifically to assure you that he's not joking. And he knew you would still excuse him.
Did it ever occur to you to watch the video? Even the first time was a very deliberate movement, and the second time should remove any doubt.
I think he didn't mean to do it in that moment, but he appears to have been practicing. <br>
Oh, you don't heil twice by accident.
It is hard to do it by mistake, and even if let's not treat 53 year old man as some kid that didn't know.
Gaslighting.
Shocker that you want to defend the nazi
Yes, that was my first thought. Then I saw him turn around and do it a second time.
Spock would be disappointed in you.
He wasn't doing a Nazi salute. He's literally trolling you all and you're all falling for it.
It's the rule of goats:
If you screw a goat ironically, you still screwed a goat.
Stop gaslighting.
Explain me how this is trolling people. Hahaha I'll just do a little gesture that seems exactly like a nazis salute...to troll some liberals.
ask the trump why his hand wasn't on the bible during oath
I'm assuming it would catch on fire, no?
Because the event was indoors, the fire marshal wouldn't allow it.
Hey if you're trolling you should check out the [email protected] community, I think you'd like it.
