    I speculated a short while back that with Musk’s true dream of immortality seeming less plausible every year, he has turned his sights on being remembered by history.

    I think I was right, and some sort of drug fueled edgelord logic has led him to conclude that fear is strong and universal, and being a cacking villain gets your name to “stick” with people the most.

    Or his ridiculous luck has given him the world’s worst case of Main Character syndrome, and the game play that amuses his fried brain involves griefing the NPCs.

      If he has any sense that overcomes his pride, he should be grateful that someone else is taking some flak for him.

        Well, we know he doesn’t have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.

    So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.

    How can anyone deny it now? There’s no way this is coincidence, like he’s just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can’t be explained away.

    Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?

    They all say he’s such a genius, but he’s unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There’s no way this can be defended. It’s just too obvious.

    When the opposing party funded a genocide, this is what you get.

      Everyone funded a genocide. If you paid taxes, you did too.

      I’m not trying to excuse Biden for his love for Israel and material support for them, but singling out “the opposing party” as the issue here is missing the method of reform that’s actually going to fix it. The issue is American politics and media, and the American system. Let’s fix that. If you thought singling out the Democrats as the problem that needed to be got rid of was going to fix it, brother just wait, because you succeeded and your plan is going into action as of now.

              I mean, their notification window must be stacked, probably easy to miss this one. Also did I see they got banned somewhere else in this thread for trolling?

              They seem to have a pretty strong opinion on this so I’m interested to hear what they think the actual solution is (or was assuming that line of attack isn’t open any more).

          Dude we didn’t vote for this asshole as part of the blue crowd. How the fuck you think the blue maga supporting crowd even exists because it doesn’t.

          I mean sure you might be one of the trolls doing a psyops but what the actual fuck horrible take is that.

          This shit logic: Oh you’re going to vote for someone that is currently slapping you in the face. Well if you support that you might as well just vote for the people that are going to shoot you in the face. So fucking dumb.

                I don’t think they are a good option but your attitude right now sums up why Democrats lost to the person they claimed was the biggest moron of all time. Remember that whenever you call someone a moron, that you’ve proved to be an even bigger moron already.

                  Im not American. I dont need to remember anything about the ridiculous things you have said. You are clearly and plainly a moron. The democrats lost because a lot of Americans are morons like you. The vast majority of every developed country if the planet has been rolling their eyes at your stupidity for decades. Amazingly, you doubled down and made it worse at every step. Now you have nazis in charge. You somehow blame Kamala for this? I honestly don’t know if there has ever been someone more stupid than you.

            Not all Democrat voters, but a lot were incapable of even acknowledging that Genocide Joe was in mental decline before he dropped out. Heck some of them are still convinced he would have won despite the campaign now acknowledging that they predicted Trump would have gotten 400 electoral college votes had he stayed in.

            Rather than have a quick primary to find a replacement, they coronated another genocide supporter. This was wholly unpopular with the public & people most likely to vote Democrat, with recent polls suggesting had Kamala deviated from Biden on Israel that she could have got 13 million more votes.

            When people reminded them how unpopular genocide was before the election they were quick to ban or censor any dissenting opinions on the subject, rather than to call for Kamala to do anything different. They censored & ridiculed the most sensible voices which ended up costing them the election.

              None of this supports your assertion that the commenter above helped get Trump elected?

              recent polls suggesting […]

              I’d like to see those polls. This doesn’t really make much sense to me. If you wanted someone to reduce casualties in Israel, why would you vote for Trump?

              There were people protesting about genocide outside democrat rallies. Weird that no one was protesting about that outside Trump rallies.

              I think it’s a grave mischaracterization to say dissenting opinions on genocide were banned or censored. Since the dawn of time, campaigning politicians haven’t wanted to talk about issues that they’re unable or unwilling to solve.

                I didn’t vote for Trump, but I didn’t vote for the genocide supporter Kamala either. I’ve saw countless opinions or any dissent when it came to Palestine get people banned from communities that were all pushing the same, “Kamala ran a flawless campaign” communities. Here you people are again unable to look in the mirror to figure out why you lost & helped Trump get reelected. You want to blame anyone & everyone, but can’t look in the mirror to figure out why you lost so much support.

                  So you didn’t vote for Kamala, criticised her campaign, and are here accusing Dem supporters of helping Trump get elected.

                  Sorry mate that’s just all sorts of ass-backwards bonkers.

                  I don’t see many people saying that Kamala ran a flawless campaign. It’s pretty obvious that the Dems did a pretty terrible job, but to strut around saying everyone else helped Trump get elected just because they werent more critical of Kamala is just daft.

      Yes, the person seeing a literal Nazi salute from someone Trump is giving a lot of authority to, and using that as an excuse to attack the Democrats instead of saying “this is fucked up”, is definately very concerned about genocide…

      This, my friend, is a 400ton edgelord take. One could talk about the underlying analysis but my, your tone is the first thing that strikes me. No one Hi will suffer under this administration would understand this. Fishing for purity-vs-sheeples won’t help anyone.

      P. S. : In my book, the dems are awful, and I’m not even an US citizen, so I’m not directly concerned.

    Granted, I never thought he’d get this far, but I’ve been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.

      On the bright side, if we’re remarking on history’s propensity for repetition, consider how much the odds have just gone up that Elon’s personal timeline now ends doused in gasoline and set alight in a ditch, like a pasty, doughy little pile of garbage.

    Wow. That’s bad.

    E: Musk is such an ass that I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest he did it deliberately to troll liberals and press. Not because he holds any actual nazi beliefs (though he absolutely could) but because he just wanted to stir the shit in the news.
