    He claimed it was a “my heart goes out to you” sentiment.

    But the “my heart goes out to you” gesture is palm-up…

      I mean it just doesn’t matter what it was “supposed” to be. How many times have we seen things that are sooort of close to the nazi salute so people are like “hey better not do that.” And this is stuff that’s like basically just anything holding your hand in the air. This was straight up the salute lol I mean there’s no two ways about it. The question is what the intention was. And if it wasn’t intended to be some sort of nod to Nazism or fascism or something, why in the flying fuck would you do it?! lol I mean everyone in the literal world knows it would prolly be a bad idea to do anything like that but the self proclaimed Uber genius, smartest man in the world, ultra mega mastermind, God gamer musk… It just slips his mind?

        I’ll give him this. That shit was crisp. Almost as if he stood in front of a mirror practicing it over and over.

    It has been maddening how corporate media has been trying to tell us it was anything but a Nazi salute. I’m reminded of the Star Trek episode Chain of Command Part II, “There are four lights!”

    I searched that exact tweet up and it was posted by three different accounts with the exact same wording.

    Me thinks this is no real.

    OP you got a source? Because if this guy is who he claims he is then all of his work is being called into question and I would be very curious to see what other incorrect takes he’s got.

        The source could still be totally bogus.

        This is why I hate Twitter, especially Twitter screenshots like this without even enough info to easily look up the user.

        It wasn’t. But idk why I bother even attempting to have the conversation on this site. Y’all are convinced that it was and seemingly no other information can penetrate your thick skulls. At least some have had the decency admit they don’t care about the truth and just want to be angry which is cringe but I respect the honesty.

        Edit: spelling.

            Did he? I’m not gonna slog through the shit show that is his Twitter feed , but if you got proof I’m happy to see it.

            If he did apologize I suspect he was apologizing for the accidental similarities and not because he’s an actual Nazi.

            Do you really think if someone was stupid enough to pull a real Nazi salute at that event on purpose that he would then turn around and apologize for it?

          Just checked the modlog; you got a 3 month suspension from 8 communities cause you were mean, i think.

          Looks like your account is new so I’ll explain: normally being mean wouldn’t get you banned but in this case you had the unpopular opinion so you got suspended by an unhappy moderator.

          Welcome to Lemmy.

            Yeah I don’t really care tbh. At least two of those bans were falsely applied as I did not break the rules they claimed I did, but I don’t care to argue with power tripping mods in the first place. The vegan one I’m not shocked by. That crowd is allergic to facts or any criticism of their way of life.

            I don’t remember the other ones.

            Our of curiosity (because as you pointed out I am new here) how does one see mod logs? I only use the site through my phone and the sync app so I am guessing that’s something you have to use a computer to be able to see?

              Oh man. Buckle up. The hive mind here is something fierce. Something about the Left eating their young. People get real pissy when you question a common narrative you find here. It’s becoming harder to separate fact from fiction for me. I can’t decide if my bullshit detector is accurate or malfunctioning.

              It feels like there may be a fair amount of propaganda happening. Like back during the early days of the r/thedonald when you could you could watch the Russians clock in and stir up the magats and q’s. Just a different political flavor.

              IDK, I say this as a blue voting redneck and supporter of socialized medicine and queer rights and so on.
