Sorry, but no. Anyone in their right mind would have immediately come out and said I apologize for that action etc etc. The fact the he didn’t is all the implication required for him to be labeled at nazi. There is no denying no excusing it.
i agree… however he did deny it implicitly by saying that “everyone is hitler is so tired”….
it’s still obviously a nazi salute and if he immediately said “i’m not a nazi and disavow all nazis, and that was an accident, i didn’t mean to make my arm so straight… i see how it looks like that but it wasn’t on purpose, im totally not a nazi”, it wouldn’t matter at all… it was still a plain nazi salute.
actually hitting his chest first is the way neo-nazis do it now.
i actually heard, years ago, from a friend who had some too close to nazis past, that putting your hand over your heart first means “my heart goes out to the white race” more or less….
also the violent way he snapped his arm out….
it’s UNDENIABLY a contemporary, neo-nazi salute.
i haven’t been able to find another source for why neo-nazis put their hand on their chest… mostly because google fucked up the date range search… and i didn’t really believe my friend at the time… but it was as direct as possible without actually saying it.
musk did essentially deny it, weakly, but that’s irrelevant… except documenting their gaslighting tactics.
joking about nazi-ism has been a main tactic of online nazis for years now
well no he made fun of it on twitter:
““Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”
He used a joke to deny being Hitler. Not the same.
he denied it, is the important part
He said didn’t want to be referred to as Hitler.
He denied nothing.
the denial was implied, grow up
He recognized it was Nazi salute by referencing Hitler.
If anything this was an implied confirmation, not a denial. Nothing was denied.
you’re an idiot
