I am a minority and like Elon because he gives those of us a voice who have been negatively impacted by the actions of liberals




How were you personally negatively impacted?

[flagged]


Do you assume everyone on the Internet is the same race as you unless you have a negative opinion of them?

It’s wild to complain about liberals’ hypocrisy of suppressing speech while defending Elon of all people, the most prominent “free speech absolutist” hypocrite there is.

I am not a republican. I am not a democrat. People who disagree with me aren't silent. I just graduated college and there they made sure people like me were silent. Reddit is similar. Most of western Europe, too.

Duck typing has you as a Republican.

Sorry bud, but you’re not getting the benefit of the doubt while defending reprehensible actions by Republican leaders that are plainly obvious to anyone who watched the event


I don't know anything about you and I understand the desire to not dox yourself. However, just a friendly tip, the way you are talking about your identity and how it has led to persecution against you while simultaneously avoiding giving actual details about your identity or how you have been persecuted comes off as untrustworthy. People can tell you're hiding something and many will jump to the conclusion that is because the response here would be even worse if you were more transparent.

pray tell, what did he "voice" that you weren't able to before?

you guys won, what do you want?

I didn't vote. I also live in a state that votes the same every time.

> I didn't vote.

As the great poet Taylor Swift puts it, "It's me, Hi, I'm the problem, it's me..."

> What's wrong with you?

I hold little respect for people who skip voting and then complain about the result of the voting.

> Certain states are always red and always blue.

When I was a kid, Florida was a swing state, and Georgia was a red stronghold.

> Are you European?

No. But I wish we had Australia's mandatory voting.

There are videos of other famous people, including Harris, making a similar gesture. Elon Musk supports Israel. So he is an NS member. Right.

"Similar" is not same. I watched the videos. There are ones where Warren does a "ramp" motion, AOC is just waving, etc. If you only look at freeze frames, you can claim whatever you want, but a stiff-armed Nazi salute is a specific motion of the arm, not a freeze frame.

If he wanted to do one, he would. Additionally, there are right wing groups that use the gesture. This just isn't a case of that. We need to learn to differentiate.

Musk definitely did several nazi salutes. Even did it with flourish like the hitler videos. Pretending otherwise makes you look like a sympathizer or a fool. Sorry.

They didn’t do the same thing.

Musk did a full on Sieg Heil motion repeatedly. The other people you mention without naming did not


No. There's plenty else to criticize Elon Musk for.

And yet we’re talking about the sieg heiling which you claim didn’t happen despite us all being able to watch it in 4K.

He’s got the personality of someone who grew up posting on /b and this is what it looks like in real life.

You are either wrong or lying when you claim he didn’t do a sieg heil


I don't know if supporting a country currently engaging in genocide is the trump card you think it is.

My point is that the gesture argument doesn't hold.

> If Israel wanted to commit genocide in Gaza, it would be over in an afternoon.

Not if they want to still deny that it's occurring.

> They certainly wouldn’t be supplying them groceries and electricity.

Auschwitz provided both of those things to prisoners.
