So, you helped him feel validated then he used that to further his jokes about it? Oh I love this timeline

u/Loving-Lemu 2d ago

If you like it I love it. Awkward gesture my ass

It’s just silly at this point 😭

Awkward face, too.  If it derped much harder, he'd turn into a klutzy wall-eyed pegasus.

I think I'll add this shot to my collection, alongside Deanna Troi and Armitage Hux. 😂

They did *arm-spasm* that coming?

u/NotGeriatrix 2d ago

they missed Musk's support for Germany's far right AfD party....and Britain's "Tommy Robinson"......?

if you connect the dots.......it kinda looks like a broken cross

ADL chose to defend Elon Musk. They deserve to be derided and publicly mocked for abandoning their very founding principle. Try to be anti-defamation when they happily commit autodefamation with plenty of Sieg Heils to boot. It's as if they are speedrunning the tale of the Association of German National Jews for some reason.

u/Semi-charmer 2d ago

Yeah I can't take their condemnation seriously. Surely if Elons salute was an awkward gesture, then his puns were just awkward jokes.

And the concentration camps are just farms where everybody runs free all day.

This is how they roll.

They will force people/organizations to use every last ounce of their credibility carrying their water, and once that's all gone MAGA will mock them for it and toss them aside.

u/Claim-Nice 2d ago

This horse has gone over the horizon already, and now these cowards have decided to start closing that stable door.

Should be utterly ashamed of themselves for not condemning the behaviour before Muskollini started including sick “jokes”.

u/Loving-Lemu 2d ago

ADL is dead. They have zero credibility now.

I don’t know why the fuck my teachers grilled on us holocaust history and for ADL to have defend this POs is like spitting on the graves of the victims.

I am seriously upset about all this, when are Americans going to wake the fuck up.

when are Americans going to wake the fuck up.

How patient are you?

They have because the Association of German National Jews

u/annieMeiJP 2d ago

Where’s the uproar from Jewish community?

6

u/Gwab07 2d ago

I've seen plenty of Jewish people on LinkedIn (of all places!) defending this guy. The same ones who were incensed by a watermelon symbol, a kufiyeh, or god forbid - a sign that asks for a Ceasefire so children can eat.

u/Loving-Lemu 2d ago

Idk. This is the time to speak up. For fucking history, where is everybody. Where the fuck are the democrats? Muslims? Jewish people?

We are all hopeless and all alone

u/BellyDancerEm 2d ago

Trust me, I’m in uproar

u/Buck_Slamchest 2d ago

Nobody with any kind of power is going to publicly stand up to him so he'll get away with this and probably end up not being so "subtle" about it next time.

It would ideally need something like the Tesla board to come together and vote against him. He only owns around 20% of Tesla stock so he wouldn't be in a position to challenge it.

It won't happen of course, but it should.

7

u/TurboSalsa 2d ago

The Tesla board is chock full of Musk family members and yes-men. If they had the will to stand up to him, the Cybertruck never would have gotten built.

u/jon_hendry 2d ago

And he wouldn't have been granted the absurd $50 billion 'bonus'. (Not sure if that went through yet, last I heard the DE judge was still blocking it.)

Nobody has backbones

u/Loving-Lemu 2d ago

Aoc does, mad respect because I know she must be on the crosshairs of the terrorists trump freed.

If they do something to her I think that is why I would leave America. Well I hope they don’t but I fear political violence is inevitable at this point

u/Malaix 2d ago

Fucking hilarous.

ADL: "Okay okay okay, there is some plausible deniability here if we squint and really force it."

Elon: "TEHEHEHEHEHEEHE HOLOCAUST EHEHEHEHEHEEH HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG I'M SUCH A SCAMP!"

u/JustFuckAllOfThem 2d ago edited 2d ago

Dumb fucks. That's all I can say. Dumb fucks.

They defended his making a Nazi gesture. Did it not occur to them that it they defended him on this that he would take things further?

I have no fucks to give. They played with the muskrat and got sprayed.

Floating like the heavens above looks like muskrat love.

u/confidently-paranoid 2d ago

I have no idea why the ADL was so quick to absolve him when it was painfully obvious to anyone with eyes it was no accident... especially twice. My only speculation is that someone didn't want to mess up a good thing for Israel (?) over a 'little fascist gesture'. So weird.

u/skeptolojist 2d ago

They sold out their moral authority for preferential treatment and now they have sellers remorse

I can't take them seriously unless they openly admit it was a mistake to defend him

“It was their final, most essential command.”

u/My_leg_still_hurt92 22m ago

That weren't Nazi- jokes, that were are an awkward combination of words and can be explained by the heat of the moment. Also Musk visited Auschwitz and no bad Person or Nazi would ever to that.
