We need to never not be shocked, but it’s hard to keep that up any more.

boarish.bsky.social•47 days ago

the media has gone from "kneeling during the anthem is an unacceptable form of speech" to "the president's boss nazi saluting on the world's biggest stage is...."

hybridcap.bsky.social•47 days ago

This was like a very emphatic "hard r" version of the nazi salute too. I know almost everything about this guy and even I am kinda shocked lol

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’s truly a stunning moment

desertyeti.bsky.social•47 days ago

Super. Just super fucking duper.

Good Lord...every minute is worse than the minute prior.

briantarbell.bsky.social•47 days ago

This isn't very shocking of him honestly he's been buddying it up with nazis lately.

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

Seeing a public figure salute in this manner is far different than seeing him in the replies of a fascist X account

hybridcap.bsky.social•47 days ago

Totally, this crazy. Even crazier, watch TSLA go up 5% tmrw anyways lol

brundle.bsky.social•47 days ago

He thinks he’s so powerful he can Nazi salute and nothing will happen to him…..oh shit, wait….he’s in the US. I guess he bought the right country!!

Locking out that elbow. Not one of those lazy heils like you got from Hitler himself. He'll need Tiger Balm if he didn't warm up.

Chills running down my spine. I never thought I’d see the day. All along I thought maybe I was overreacting to all the dog whistles and signaling. Hmm…Maybe I was *under* reacting. This is terrifying. Usually I have a good witty joke, something about eggs maybe. But I don’t. I have nothing.

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’ll turn your spine to ice.

Seig Heil Trumpler? Really? That and going full-mast on all the flags, only three weeks into the observance of Jimmy Carter’s deal tells you all you really need to know…

jay-baller-reborn.bsky.social•47 days ago

I think it’s the hard chest pound, indicating how enthusiastic he was for it

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

That part made me gasp

grumpyzeus.bsky.social•47 days ago

No need to hide it now...

Trump and Musk are fascists. The new administration will commit state sponsored violence against all the groups Republicans scapegoat to hide their contempt for the Constitution.

This will get Third Reichy MUCH sooner than most ancticipate.

elliotghoul.bsky.social•47 days ago

Shock and sick are still emotions I can exhibit, thank god. And fuck that Nazi

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’s why I have a whole section of Bad Faith Times dedicated to Musk https://bad-faith-times.ghost.io/tag/elons-bad-faith/

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

Within a few days there will be an alternate story about Musk’s salute. We’ll be told it never happened, and if it did happen, it wasn’t what you thought it was. But you saw it with your own eyes. Gotta try to not be gaslighted on this one.

chriscjackson.bsky.social•47 days ago

Half of his followers are claiming it’s not a Nazi salute and we’re insane for saying it is and the other half are loving that he obviously did a Nazi salute.

tmurf5387.bsky.social•47 days ago

Its already happening. "My heart goes out to you" is the explanation. Bullshit. We saw what we saw.

mickiesue.bsky.social•47 days ago

It didn't take a few days, only a few hours. There are already people claiming it was not a Nazi salute, that it was because of his Asperger's and he was throwing his arm up because he "exuberant".

karlsafchick.bsky.social•47 days ago

Non zero chance he just leans into it.

tanoj.bsky.social•47 days ago

Lean into it like he did here?

karlsafchick.bsky.social•47 days ago

I honestly don't know what I'm looking at.

tanoj.bsky.social•47 days ago

Elon changed his profile on X (at least that's what was shared on Bluesky)

Multiple alt-right references in his changed name and avatar (Pepe the Frog, kek)

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

I could see that. It would fit well with the edgelord aesthetic.

chetgresham.bsky.social•47 days ago

He’ll say we’re too dumb to understand.

ilikesports2.bsky.social•47 days ago

they’re going to try to convince us this man is both a super genius who can save us and also didn’t know exactly what he was doing

wplayas.bsky.social•47 days ago

He WaS JusT JOkiNG! Lolololol!

jayarr47.bsky.social•47 days ago

Minutes: it’s already being pitched as “the Roman salute” with no context as Mussolini adopting it and then You-Know-Who after. It’s already being pitched that “he’s autistic” without the context that there are plenty of non-fash people on the spectrum.

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yeah. These things move quickly.

dennycarter.bsky.social•47 days ago

How any major brand can still advertise on X is baffling
