Anyone who's honest knows they have not done that.
First of all, he hasn't (AFAIK) actually denied it (but feel free to prove me wrong). Which is telling in and of itself.
Second, the idea that Musk "has not any inclination towards Nazism" is utter nonsense. Without even bothering to cite the many, many instances of Musk agreeing with blatant antisemitism and racist conspiracy theories on his platform, he was literally forced to apologize (by the ADL!) for retweeting blatant antisemitism just last year. He also just spoke at a quasi-Nazi rally in Germany, where he said Germans should not "lose [German culture] in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything."
Third, you do not see "lots of politicians making similar motions" (unless, of course, those politicians are Nazis).
And finally, do you know who thinks Elon is a Nazi and celebrated his salute? Actual freaking Nazis! Who were positively giddy on X after seeing his Sieg Heil last week.
You normalize a nazi, I'm going to call you out. Which is far nicer than my late grandfather would have done. This is absurd.
After he made a nazi salute? Really Tim? You spineless like that?
I think this is all fair. But I dont think more than a few hundred people in the US have any inclination toward white supremacy and Elon isn't one of them. Thats all noise like calling Kamala a commie. Just rhetoric to create conflict and stop people from thinking.
I'd guess he realizes any backpedal or apology tour won't make a difference regarding critics. Plenty of people have their minds made up, I'm certain an apology wouldn't change any opinions for several users here.
Guilty by association. You can probably find at least one scumbag to point to and relate to any sort of action these days.
Lol so if he denies it that proves it's not true, and if he doesn't deny it that also proves it's not true. This idolatry of one of the least worthy people on the planet is pathetic.
Bluesky has been better than X at breaking news for months now.
According to many people on this forum, Nazis are imaginary and all swastikas and hate symbols are just ironic and meaningless.
Apple kissing the ring. Do ut des (for the Latin fans). It is very sad to see that what was the “beacon of freedom” is now becoming just another autocratic banana republic with tech oligarchs surrounding the political leader to gain even more riches while the political leader uses his offices to get richer too (Krypto memes, hotels etc.). Not sure what still distinguishes a Putin from a Xi from a Trump.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Timmy is as greasy as it gets. He's like a used car salesman the way he runs Apple.
Leftist media is truly based on this quote from Joseph Goebbels : “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
"That guy is the most racist (I think you are talking about the person protesting immigrant rapists who were freed due to fear of racism), that other guy is a Nazi, that one over there is just pure evil, please don't ask me for source because it doesn't exist"
And as I said before, it's Joever and ministry of propaganda failed on November, real world is different from MR forum or Reddit, the sooner you realize it the better.
America is such a mess. So much for being the leader of the free world. 🤣 I thought we were bad, then half of you voted Mr Tropicana and his crowd of tech bro fascists back in.
No doubt this will get removed as off topic and I’ll get a warning.
But it’s not off topic. Sucking up to right wing fascist apartheid billionaire scumbags isn’t a good thing. You all need to give your heads a collective wobble.

Looking over the comments I think you could have 100% predicted whether people though Musks gesture was a Nazi salute by having them answer this question before it happened: Rank Musk or Trump as a Nazi on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being Hitler. Anyone who placed them higher than about a 4 was going to see a Nazi salute no matter what because thats their intellectual hammer and that how they hit everything about Musk/Trump. The rest of this discussion is just everyone revealing their priors including me (Musk is a 2, Trump 2.2).
Some peoples already had Musk at an 9 or 10 so if he fell down a stairs and put his arm out they would see a Nazi salute. No amount of evidence seems to convince people one way or the other. All just priors playing out.

That's not what I mean at all. I don't think he could say anything to prove or disprove at this point, or change anyone's opinions. Once you reach a certain level of attention, I imagine you ignore the noise. From his end, why bother saying anything at all? You accuse me of being an idolater when I haven't provided anything to back it up. This kind of loaded language only enhances my angle that tribalisms gonna tribe.
He won't. It's typical MAGA procedures. No context or facts to support their lies.
Someone ask Tim Apple, "Did you enjoy ze Fuhrer's birthday?"
I don't agree with some of Musk's thinking and ideas but he is far from being antisemitic and that was certainly not a Nazi arm gesture. Media and certain groups need to stop with these absurdities. As for Apple doing biz with X, certainly makes sense.
How about show the videos of those moments that are taken out of context in *pictures*. These are absolutely false equivalence. What Musk did during the inauguration was **clearly** a Nazi solute, TWICE.
as some one else said, one group's (idiotic) opinion that it wasn't, doesn't make it so.

As for apple advertising on Twitter, I personally don't use it all that much anymore so meh, but if it gets people to buy more apple stuff, sounds good to me I guess. Not that I agree, but Apple is a business after all.
