because it didn't work.
the whole idea was to trigger the libs with a vague gesture, like that one bitch who turned it into an awkward wave, but he got a little too into it and now people are setting his cars on fire.
Vague gesture? It was a full on nazi salute.
Why are you saying this? Just call it what it is for fucks sake.
Are you afraid or something?
The above commenter is saying that Elon likely tried to be vague about what he was doing, but failed at subtlety and made an obvious Nazi salute.
You can try reading that comment again. Or maybe you replied to the wrong comment, because it doesn't say anything remotely similar to what you are complaining about.
No. I responded to your comment about “vague gesture”.
Did you already forget what you wrote? Are you suffering from amnesia?

Fuck his Nazi ass. Let him stew
I'm sure the main concern is the protests that are taking place all over the world against one of his companies
On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.
That and he definetely wasn't expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.
Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.
It was a nazi salute.

Imagine the leverage you'd need to have to make "the richest person in the world" do a Hitler salute on live TV. Sure, people who tolerate, much less support, Nazi stuff "are Nazis too" but I'm willing to believe that he might not have actual genocidal / thinking races are subhuman / etc beliefs and if he does, it happened recently - way after he became compromised.
To a certain extent, "bad" people succeed in capitalism and become powerful because of inherent personality traits, and a combination of lack of consequences and privilege creating lack of empathy. But to a much greater extent, I think power is handed to people once enough blackmail material is gathered
The pedophilia shit is not a coincidence.

His lineage is literally the Nazi party, he's been indoctrinated from birth with that shit, not recently

He was born rich and lucked his way to more riches, simple as. Turns out rich idiots just do bad things, so it's easy to find out that they've done so. Quite literally a requirement in capitalism to be a monster if you want to "win"
I've been able to find stuff about his mom's dad being pro apartheid which is obviously bad but is not "literally the Nazis". And that his dad claims to say apartheid is bad but said some sus stuff over the years.
Even if he didn't do the work himself and sounded like a complete idiot in that leaked Twitter meeting, he did objectively advance society. I think the world is better off with things like Tesla Amazon Uber and DoorDash. Musk outlived his usefulness long ago though and is a net negative now to the point of almost undoing all the good he may had had a hand in creating. Society can survive this level of capitalism if it prevented generational wealth. The incompetency compounds and the inevitable conclusion has finally revealed itself.

So you failed to find the part where they left Canada for South Africa because, as members of the Canadian Nazi Party, Canada wasn't fucked enough for them? It's like... Basic info on his family
he did objectively advance society.
Lol, no, that would be the people he paid. He deserves 0 credit for that

Oh, so you're an idiot, gotcha, gonna just disengage
Awweee poor baby... I thought he loved free speech.
He loves free speech so much he wants it all to himself.
Ignore him, it's the best you can do to let him disappear
Fascism can't be ignored, that's how they get power. That's how Trump became president.
We are past the point where this shithead can be ignored. He's in too much of a powerful position for that to work
