Give fucking grace for a nazi salute given with pride, arrogance and defiance.... This is what emboldens them - the knowledge their actions will be twisted into making US look bad who would call them out.
"A delicate moment" you say? Have some grace, you say? New beginning, you say?
I don't need someone telling me what I see with my own eyes, and you should take a step back and re-evaluate what you are trying to tell everyone didn't just happen.
Calling for @daniellecitron.bsky.social, @eli.bsky.social and @craignewmark.bsky.social to resign from the ADL Tech Advisory board over this statement.
The ADL throws Jews under the Nazi bus, same as last year to transgender people by whitewashing Chaya Raichik https://www.advocate.com/news/adl-removes-chaya-raichik-extremist
If you want to help combat rising antisemitism, possibly consider supporting @nexusproject.bsky.social, @splcenter.org, @interfaithalliance.org, or @bendthearc.bsky.social instead. Other suggestions are welcome.
of course its a Roman salute..... Musk is on record supporting the Roman Empire.... Every one remembers how he threw his support behind the Roman Empire during the last Italian elections..... short memory folks... short memory
ah yes, the fantasy Roman salute that was famously adopted by Fascists and Nazis because they also loved the Roman Empire and viewed themselves in continuity with it. That's very different, then!
There are a few hand motions I might make without thinking in a moment of excitement. That's not one of them. It seems designed to be deliberate by necessity.
What the actual fuck??? The ADL being nice and apologetic to the fucking Space Nazi AND giving all the other Neo-nazis the benefit of the doubt? What fucking planet did I teleport to while I was taking a nap?
Totally crazy that an organization that 1) gaslit us all into thinking there wasn’t a genocide going on in Gaza, and 2) every student protest against it in the United States was de facto antisemitic would attempt to explain away a literal Nazi salute by an apartheid apologist.
Just used the ADL website 'report an incident ' page to report Musk, and to ask them to condemn it as a Nazi/fascist salute in the 'How can we help' section. As a UK citizen I don't have a zip code so used 20500 - The Whitehouse. This was seen globally and will encourage global far right movements.
And this is why I can’t afford to pay any mind to this nonsense. If the ADL would rather be white instead of call out fascism, what are any of us supposed to do. Don’t come looking for support when the shooters come. You said it was just an awkward gesture.
ADL lost a lot of credibility when they deemed any criticism of Israel as antisemitic. Criticism of Israel is not criticism of Jewish people as a whole, it’s more a criticism of Zionism.
Right so you make up for calling something antisemitic when it isn't by giving Nazism a pass (which is not to disagree with what DS says, just with thinking that this is a good response).
WTF?? What’s the dynamic here? Too many rich guys on the Board who know the rich guys backing Trump and don’t want to mess up relations? I mean, the easiest answer is “abject fear” or cowardice. But it’s probably something like I described. Either way, they lose their power by doing this.
I might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if it weren't for the fact that he's endorsed several far-right movements in Europe. He knew what he was doing.
Fucking bullshit, AOL. Ya know what? We're gonna believe our own eyes over your lies! He BIT HIS LIP AND GAVE A DEFIANT GLARE WHEN HE DID IT. WE ALL SAW THAT IT WAS TOTALLY INTENTIONAL.
For crying out loud, Elon wrote an Op-Ed in a German papery that literally endorsed the Neo-Nazi political party and said that Germany would be better off it that racist party led Germany. There’s no ambiguity about his Neo-Nazi beliefs! There’s no question that Elon gave the Nazi salute!
And the leader of that party was invited to the inauguration, not the Chancellor of Germany, but the Neo Nazi party leader. Does it get any more blatant than that?
Even if Musk didn't give a Nazi salute, all the other things he's done are so egregious the salute itself hardly informs us any more of his racist intentions.
Oh yeah, both sides, or is it “all sides” now? Let’s just not see what we are seeing, not hear what we are hearing, just give out hugs. You will see that all will be well then.🤮
He didn't fucking apologize to anyone, or for himself! That's what you do *immediately* if someone sees you do something they *mistakenly* see as a Sieg Heil! The Anti. Defamation. League. Said this.
Yes. It is entirely his fault as history will record. He was our commander in chief. His main responsibility was to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic. His entire four year term was marked by the continual loss of rights and establishment of religious/racist fascism
Obviously the denial of and excuses for what we can all see with our own eyes is appalling, but I’m also annoyed by the “this is a new beginning let’s hope for healing” language. Many of us are not inclined to “unify” with the new administration.
It's a fucking sieg heil!!! Sorry dudes, I was in HS German from 87-91, taught 3 of those years by a Polish lady that lived through WW2 & had a visible scar from a fucking pitchfork on her neck. She was very clear about what was what. Fuck the benefit of the doubt. I fucking know what I fucking saw.
The core problem with liberalism as the philosophy and as exemplified by Democrats and liberal journalists. Both sidesism fake objective overly comfortable affluent bullshit. "The free marketplace of competing ideas". It has no teeth against the bad faith of fascism!
Oh okay I didn't realise that if this is from the ADL that they appear to have been bought, which is ALSO a thing that happens way too often with this kind of milquetoast "enlightened" liberalism. You need a spine & a willingness to not just go along with what seems strategic & comfortable.
Maybe he should narrow it down to a couple of Jewish groups. Namely the ones that have ultranationalist far-right beliefs who were deliberately murdering Palestinians because of their anti-Arab hate.
The rest of it is Elmo just being an asshole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otzma_Yehudit
My suspicion is that they agreed to return to "X" and run ads there as a gesture of reconciliation and support for Musk, and didn't have to pay to run the ads.
Yes but even more is that Elon promised them that he would censor Palestinian support posts on X. So now they want to maintain this foothold in censorship on X. Elon of course still lets his alt-right base continue to post antisemitic, xenophobic, racist things, didn’t go out of his way to stop that
ADL supports the horrific crimes of Zionist ... So they don't have much credibility ... Even as of today Zionist settlers are wracking havoc on Palestinians in West bank
It was a Nazi salute. "Awkward gesture" my ass. Fuck!
Does the ADL think by sucking-up it'll be immune this time? Ask the Jewish industrialists who sucked-up to Hitler in the 1930s how it worked out for them.
I bet if asked Musk would admit it or at least avoid the question which would be an obvious tell. I cannot imagine a current scenario where he denies it.
Hello, beautiful 😍💛🌹 I am sorry for interfering with your privacy I must confess that you have a beautiful profile and I do admire your beauty I was wondering if we can be friends is that too much to ask? Please 🙏

Wtf would you do it on national tv on inauguration day?
I can show you hundreds of clips of Nazis doing it.
Fuck these Nazi apologists.

Apologists for Dumbfuck Lunatics
??
But he wont
Will they give grace to brown immigrants like myself?? I doubt it. Will they give grace to ppl with special needs?? To the poor?? To the uneducated??
No.
I guess I will be called anti-Semitic for thrashing their post now, but that is some BS they posted.
The depravity of this nation for even the ADL to post this
I’m just kidding.
We know he won’t.
So during delicate times we should Nazi Nazis acting like Nazis
muskrat comes from filthy Nazi genes.
He is a filthy Nazi.

FTFY
If that wasn’t a Nazi salute, how would one perform one more emphatically and without equivocation?
this “we’re not nazis” thing is bullshit and no one sane is buying it
Because we're back there.
we should have seen this coming and prepared better. it’s not all Biden’s fault he got left with the fascist potato
well done, America
"And when he shot a second time?"
"Clearly..."
But like always they’re gaslighting
What we should have taught was it was the worst one, but far from the only one.
Then people would be more vigilant. #NeverAgain
My blood is boiling from all this appeasement.
An astonishing level of advance obedience from the ADL. Boot licking, knee bending, fascist fellating, collaborators.
Making excuses and concessions for a literal Nazi. Unreal.
America, I fear, is truly lost.
#ImJustSayin
G-d.
The rest of it is Elmo just being an asshole.

I can’t believe today happened.
Musk is a cancer on humanity. Straight up fucking cancer.
Learn to read a room before posting.
The lengths we will go to avoid confronting who we are is going to get people killed, and it won’t be because of mishandling a pandemic this time.
Thanks, Reverse Clowngirl!

Oh you can't, because he had them murdered.
Fuckwits.
Next thing rape will be ‘an awkward date’
Even more proof that Israel turned into the same monsters they were supposed to overcome. Literally associating with them makes you support Nazism.
