mprotsenkoMusk throwing a Sieg Hail salute during inauguration ceremony wasn't on my bingo card...
UPD: I couldn't help but commit a sin of "subtweeting": folks who didn't get the idea of a dog whistle - do you get it now? Or is it still not entirely clear and may be open to interpretation? (Though this is not so much of a dog whistle - it is closer to a steamboat horn...)

2. Він тестував розроблену своїми компаніями примочку для прямого керування мʼязами з мозку через нейрошунт, забув зняти перед виступом, а українські хакери його зламали, а вони всі нацисти-бендерівці, от воно так і тойво.
3. Випадково співпав виступ і підробітка Маска актором в ремейку Др. Стрейнджлав.
4. Синдром Туррета, гріх сміятися з такого!

Elon Musk did the Hitler salute twice during his speech today. But it isn’t clear what this gesture might have meant.
Коментарі:
- Does doing a Nazi salute mean you’re a Nazi? It’s complicated.
- "Who among us can say that we have not accidentally given the Hitler salute while addressing a large gathering of right wingers? Indeed, who among us has not done so twice? I know I have." By Name Withheld
- Elon Musk did 2 Nazi salutes. But why does it feel like Kamala Harris did?
(А якщо ти доктора Стрейнджлава пригадав - то треба і тамошній діагноз не забути: Alien Hand Syndrome or, as they call it, Restless Nazi Arm. :) )

ADL (ADL, Карл!): "awkward gesture"
CBS: "Musk is accused of making a Nazi salute" (Тобто не він зіганув, а його в цьому звинувачують якісь аноними, все незрозуміло...)
І так далі.

Date: 2025-01-21 02:12 am (UTC)It’s organizations like ADL that have the capacity to fail.
November 2023:
Musk sparked the criticism with six words he posted Wednesday afternoon on X, the social media app he purchased a year ago. Responding to another user who had accused Jews of hating white people and who had expressed indifference to antisemitism, Musk wrote: “You have said the actual truth.”
Musk, the CEO of the automaker Tesla and the rocket company SpaceX, followed up his first tweet with criticism of the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, an organization founded by Jews to oppose antisemitism. Musk has been feuding with the ADL for months over its efforts to reduce extremism on social media, a campaign that Musk says has cost X ad sales.
On Thursday morning, Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL’s CEO, said Musk was acting dangerously.
“At a time when antisemitism is exploding in America and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one’s influence to validate and promote antisemitic theories,” he wrote on X, with a screenshot of Musk’s six-word tweet.

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” wrote the ADL in a statement. “It seems that

Date: 2025-01-21 10:46 am (UTC)"Trump — I watched him up close for 2½ years when I was inside of the previous administration. So I’m going to basically say what I saw with my own eyes and what I heard with my own ears. I’ve spent the last 25 years watching Vladimir Putin, who I’ve met in person. I’ve seen Musk in person as well. I’ve seen a lot of these people up close, and I’ve had plenty of time to observe them and to think about the way that they act. First of all, for Trump, he doesn’t think of people as individuals. He’s pretty much focused on himself. And that’s come out, over and over again. I think it’s 100 percent clear by now.
Some people want to see Trump as a champion, a kind of an avatar, who’s out there doing battle for them against all kinds of opponents, or getting them various things. But Trump doesn’t think of anybody else as individuals. He thinks of people in categories. I heard him talk about steel workers, coal miners or auto workers. Or he talks about people as evangelicals, or Jews, or as Blacks or as Hispanics. He puts people into categories. Vladimir Putin and other autocrats do that as well. In political systems in which you have a strong person at the top, everybody else is just a category. You’re not an individual. You have no individual rights."
