    Can you please show me what you are referring to and the context? Because the context of the event discussed was very clear. It wasn’t a never do this educational situation. Dude just had to say, my bad it looked like that but I was caught up in the moment and meant to put my hand out with an open palm like Jesus in Rio but we instead accidentally kept them facing down.

    A lot of the issue stemmed from him doing it twice after supporting a far right Germany movement and not just saying my bad.

      Yeah that’s my point. It has a lot more credibility as an accusation against Musk compared to when AOC did something very similar. Because nobody thinks AOC is a Nazi. It’s a bit of a double standard, but so what?

      This is what I’m referring to. If you can find the video it really does look like a nazi salute, but nobody actually thinks that it is, in any way: https://x.com/APTeacher1754/status/1882043612122497239/photo/1

        Here’s your video. You can clearly see she is waving her arms to make a point. She isn’t doing a Nazi salute as this X nut apparently thinks. She isn’t bringing her arm down to her chest and saluting.

        Saying she does 3 Nazi salutes here would be like saying am umpire does a double everytime he calls someone out. In U.S. Culture Out and No kind of have that same hand movement. It’s like a physical X gesture.

          Yeah but imagine Musk doing that exact thing. I’m pretty sure it would hit a lot different.

            Not at all, we don’t label all Italians Nazis just for taking with their hands (first stereotype that came to mind as my father’s side is all from Sicily)

              Yes but I’m saying what if Musk did that.

                Nothing would happen? He would have been said to be talking with his hands? The stretch here is vast. There is no Nazi symbolism there
