      No, it’s real. It was an art installation at the Tesla Factory Berlin.

    You call it what it was, a Nazi salute.

    Because if he cries defamation and wants to sue, stand there in court and give the judge the finger. The judge shoukd either accept that hand gestures have commonly accepted meanings or endure the whole case while you give everyone the finger. Probably make a few wanking motions with your hand for good measure…

    News from today; german prosecutor is investigating against the guys who projected this on the Teslafactory for showing illegal Nazi symbolics. So: for german prosecutors it definitely was a Nazi salute.

    That is not German humor, that is German anger.

    His response kinda confirms it was exactly what it looked like:

    “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote on the social platform X, responding to a post describing the “salute hoax” as “just another part of the ‘dirty tricks campaign.’”

    “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk added, with a sleeping emoji.

      The only response to that should be

      Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler

        Yeah, I mean, it’s obviously trolling to begin with. What he did is undeniably similar to the nazi salute, yet he dismisses that fact without even slightly addressing it. It’s intentionally lazy, and trying to conflate less-apt Hitler comparisons with an incredibly applicable one. Because he knows this approach will work for his intended audience, and he gets to chuckle to himself about being untouchable.

      Yeah, it’s not like the Germans would have any special insight into Hitler and not invoke him lightly.

        hey, I’m not doubting them at all. When I first saw this headline days ago I thought. “surely it’s at least plausibly deniable”.

        It was not. The mask is all the way off now.

      Same here, knowing it’s a projector that everyone can see just makes my day.

      This is your daily reminder that being anti-facist isn’t political, it’s just good common sense!
