Elon musk brown shirt or just bad optics?
All right I'll make this short. this topic will be beaten to death over the next few days or until the next perceived outrage comes down the pipe. we all saw the meme of the richest man on the blue ball give what appears to be the dreaded nazi salute at a speech on Trumps inauguration day. And this made people melt down. think of the scene in Indiana Johns where the nazis open the ark of the covenant. yeah that bad! X went crazy, Instagram caught fire, face book is well face book so yeah not much different from the usual dumpster fire trash over there.
But did Musk really go all third Reich on us? I don't think so. I do feel it was just bad optics. a big mistake he. I've been following his career for quite some time and watch a lot of this speeches and when he gets anxious, he gets very animated. and let's face it he is a very awkward guy. He is supposedly on the spectrum so that makes sense. and that also explains the way he talks his cadence and the odd movements. it also explains the hyper focus and his ability to Flourish in the science, engineering and technology fields. ok let's circle back to the original question is he a nazi. NO NOT AT ALL not long ago he was in Poland and one of the concentration camps giving a heartfelt speech on the evils of the nazis and the need to learn, read, teach and understand history. All sides of history not just the nice stuff bet also the dark aspects of history. like the old saying go's "if you don't understand history, you will be doomed to repeat it.'' not only that but he has made several trips to Isreal. donates to Jewish causes and he is close friends with several prominent Jews like Benn Shapero. if he is a nazi he is really bad at it.
When he gave the speech, he stated "my heart goes out to you all" he then reached for his chest and threw this heart to the crowd metaphorically speaking and when he did it come off bad at the end. I must say when I saw it I was like OMG that's not going to bode well and will live forever in meme and so far, I'm right. it was a not a nazi gesture just a bad photo Opp. hell, even the ADL said it was nothing.
So yeah that's my two cents
