Even showing the crowd isn't much better, some were doing the salute back.

So... it was a four minute speech, of which you have chosen to give us a 13 second clip.

Are we interested in what else Elon Musk had to say...?

thx1964.bsky.social•39 days ago

Personally. No.
He and Trump have said enough for some time now, we know what they want and stand for.

Actions are what's important now that they have power. And their actions are speaking load and clear.

geoffrey-kolbe-01.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yes indeed. I think it is rather refreshing to have a politician say what he means and then do what he says...

thx1964.bsky.social•38 days ago

It can be a positive trait. But I can't stand someone that always lies to justify actions I find appalling and so obviously in it for more wealth, to stroke his ego, and hurt people. As evidenced by everything he's done so far.

His negatives massively out way his positives for me.

No.

Perhaps you should take an interest - it is your future that he was talking about...

historysami.bsky.social•38 days ago

So what do you mean by that?

Trying to offend or what?

How "my future"?

The Romans were making salutes like that 2000 years ago - long before Hitler. It is just a salute - get over it.

I'll pass. He hasn't exactly been silent (or silenced) over the past months and years, so we already know his political program. But you do yours.

What I'm professionally interested in in this connection is, rather, how the media choose to represent events - and how they are being played.

geoffrey-kolbe-01.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yes. It shows that 'the media' is not exactly unbiased on these matters. Which was a gripe of the President, as I recall.

historysami.bsky.social•38 days ago

How in Heaven's name is that "wild"??

Press is not independent nor free tho. It's owned by billionaires.
We need to update our definition of press freedom. It should include independence of both state and corporate medling.
Our current media landscape doesn't serve the people and doesn't serve as one of the pillars of democracy.

Drop him

Next step, in case of too much backslash, it's fake via AI

If it wasn't a German salute it wouldn't need to be re done. It sure as hell is a Hitler/Trump/proud boys salute. Can't be erased from our minds.
