Musk:

-supposedly has autism

-autistic people sometimes make weird faux paus

To me, it looks like it’s clearly a Hitler salute and the logical conclusion is he’s a white supremacist. But I am just wondering if everyone else sees this that way with no room for it being a result of autism and definitely that.

Is there any possibility it could have been accidental? Or was he doing a Hitler salute, then “oh it was an accident” (wink) sort of thing? Did he apologize?

Lots of people on lemmy are really smart so I’m interested to read what people think.

The whole thing makes me really uncomfortable with buying from companies that have x profiles. I just don’t see how that coukd be accidental and it seems like no one cares.

There was this period before WWII when stuff started happening to reduce the rights of minorities, but they weren’t being killed blatantly. Is this where we are? I feel more scared to be in America now.

    Absolutely zero. The man is an out and proud Nazi who has openly said and supported anti-semitic shit on his Twitter. If any accident occurred, it is that he accidentally did it out loud and on camera, instead of the privacy of his own home.

    You are also very correct, we are going through the opening beats that Nazi Germany went through. Klan members are sending out flyers in Kentucky, ICE agents are threatening to raid Democrat cities, and “deportation facilities” are being planned for construction in Texas. We have passed all the warning signs; it is happening here now.

      is fleeing america the smart thing to do? or do you not expect xyclon-B levels of hate to ensue? would organization even do anything? i really believe most liberals want to regulate and protest and ignore problems and that it won’t stop or slow this.

      i don’t want to be deer in the headlights shocked for too long

        I think if you are a member of any of the marginalized groups that Trump has made disparaging remarks to, yes you should try to leave as soon as possible. Democrats aren’t going to do anything about this, the U.S. government has been fully captured. Any serious protests won’t start until this summer, and American protesting has been pretty weak and ineffective these last few decades.

        The kind of organizing that will be necessary is not going to be peaceful. If you value your own life, you should flee while you can.
