Have yall thought that it's maybe possible he did it not because he's a Nazi, but to troll people and spark outrage?
That would be just as concerning. Next he might build death camps to troll the libs with that bad taste of humor
Trolling with a Nazi salute would be "just as concerning" as him actually being a nazi? Do you even know what you just said?
Yes, someone who murders for the fun of it scares me even more than just a plain murderer.
Do you know that you just defended someone doing the fascist salute?
Huh? So you are essentially saying that someone doing a Nazi salute as a troll is JUST AS BAD as actually being a Nazi and doing Nazi things? You can't be for real.
Note: I'm not saying that he is def just trolling, but it seems like it to me personally. I'm not here to defend Nazis or anything like that. I'm simply trying to figure out if you really genuinely believe that a Nazi salute as a troll (hypothetically) is just as bad as actually being a Nazi. To me personally one if def worse than the other.
I want more internet trolls hanging around our president and in our government
He'd still be a piece of shit for throwing a Nazi salute during the inauguration of a US president.
There's zero excuse for him to do this, stop defending fascists.
Sure. But is it the same level of bad if the was trolling vs if he was actually a Nazi. I would argue both are bad, but one is def worse. I wholeheartedly believe that you are completely wacko if you think both are equal.
Dont look at any evidence pointing at the fact he is a nazi, like how he just backed a party that wants to have constitution changed so secret police can do raids without any legal requirement. Sure seems trolly to me to back a party like that. A man with numerous nazi sympathies. Very trolly. would also be incredebly troll if there was more evidence pointing at the fact he harbours nazi sympathies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyPSKLy5E4&t=706s Oh no look an entire video showing he really hates nazis and was just trolling. Done a year ago.
Why are you dodging? We are not arguing if he is trolling or not anymore. I have completely shifted the argument towards determining if trolling with a nazi salute (if he was hypothetically trolling) was equally as bad as him being a Nazi.
Please go back and read my comments above.
Open your eyes and look at the backlash and take two seconds to take it in. The answer is all around you. No its not as bad as being a literal nazi and its forgivable if some dumb ass kids do it to be edgelords. can't stop it, dumb kids do tons of stupid things since they are literally by the pure defintion of the word mentally underdeveloped to the point of being deficet, stupid and not of sound body or mind compared to adults. Which is why kids dont get to drink, drive, vote, take real responsibility for their actions, work full time or own guns.
It is very bad when a big public figure and a politican does it at an inauguration. And then doesn't apolagize. Especially if he has made tweets like responding "actual truth" to posts that say "da joos are importing all the immigrants that ruin america"(paraphrased but an actual, real thing that happened)
Thank you. That's all I was arguing. Was that so hard?
Glad we agree musk is a nazi piece of shit and everyone defending him is stupid.
I didn't agree that he was a Nazi, I need more evidence for that. We only agreed that action of trolling as a Nazi is somewhat less bad then being an actual Nazi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyPSKLy5E4&t=2735s Feel free to check it out. It was made 9 months ago.
I will.
Who cares if he did it to troll or is actually a Nazi? Either way he's a rich person with immense power signalling that he might be, and that's just as bad. Emboldening Nazis as a troll gives them cover to "joke" about it as well.
Also, he was in Germany recently defending Nazis, so he's definitely a Nazi.
That's reasonable. I still have my doubts about him being a Nazi tho.
If you're seriously not convinced and willing to have your mind changed, watch the Some More News video, Elon's Hitler Problem. Either musk is a Nazi, or he's just signalling suuuuuuuuuuper hard over a long period of time that he might be a Nazi.
At some point, you stop wearing a mask and that's just your face
Maybe you are right. I just find it hard to believe.
What does this mean? "At some point, you stop eating a may and that’s just your face"
*wearing a mask
Damned autocorrect
He should take a big fat shit on the american flag, set it on fire. Would also be pretty based and trollpilled. Maybe next he should say "lmao get rekt" to all school shooting victims. That would also be really trolly pro gamer move I want a public figure who is also now in politics to make. Very based.
Are you implying that I'm saying what he did is based? If so - you are very wrong. I'm just trying to say that while 2 things can be BAD - one can still be worse. Is that so hard to comprehend?
why not both?
Could be both, yes.
He probably did it to troll people and spark outrage but that does not mean that he isn't also a Nazi / fascist.
I also think he did it for lolz and outrage, but I kinda doubt he's really a Nazi. idk
