CNN is already sane-washing this, referring to Musk's "odd gesture."

Elon Musk's appearance at a Trump rally this afternoon is garnering significant attention online over a one-armed gesture.

He made the gesture while thanking supporters for contributing to Trump's victory. Musk thanked the crowd for "making it happen", before placing his right hand over his heart and then thrusting the same arm out into air straight ahead of him.

"My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilisation is assured," he said.

Several users on X, the social medial platform he owns, have likened the gesture to a Nazi salute.

Musk has since responded, posting on his social media site X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

I wish western journalists would have opted to become compost instead. Compost is useful.

Securing the future and a nazi salute, but we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes.

The ADL said it wasn't a Nazi salute, for what it's worth.

Fuck the ADL: they run cover for genocidal Zionist settler colonialism.

The ADL's opinion is worth nothing, as a rule.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

That's unfair.

It's worth so much less than that.

they have lost all credibility.

Which discredits them entirely

And AOC called them out for downplaying it as well.

ADL = Anti Democracy League in this case, maybe in others, but definitely in this one.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 12 points 20 hours ago

Also known as the Apartheid Defense League

It was bizarre reading that

Like watching that poor old man who is a literal holocaust survivor get arrested by UK police for protesting and speaking out against genocide.
