The market has been divorced from reality forever, but having the majority of trades run by algorithms the only job of which is to make the Holy Line climb ever higher has rendered the entire thing meaningless as a way to value companies.
It's just a machine that makes money for people who already have too much money.
And still, nobody will Luigi him because anybody is thinking "BuT i HaVe ToO mUcH tO lOsE". I swear here and now, that if this mf *or any billionaire at all* ever steps within 50 feet of me, I will, to the best of my ability, attempt to turn them into a corpse. I have a wife and child and it would suck to go to prison, but it would be for a better world for everyone.
Did a Nazi salute *twice* while standing behind a lectern that had *the goddamn seal of the President of the United states* and he did so *on inauguration day* while *grunting like a beached walrus*
"A company that doesn't make money." SpaceX losses last year amounted to 5 billion dollars! They are 5 billion dollars annually *worse* than a company that doesn't make money.
What the post says is bullshit. Starlink had 11b revenue and 4b profit. The rocket division made 0,6b loss, because of heavy research. That is the best kind of loss. After all, testing reusable rockets coats money. The AI sector had 12b p loss, because of building datacenters. That is a good thing, because people get paid for doing stuff. Unlike fucking Apple which is hoarding all profits...
I've been fascinated trying to read his face since I first saw this and I think it's this: he's been wanting to do this for so fucking long and he's been too much of a coward to do it. He thinks this is him manning up. He's proud of himself.
Well they do sensor anything remotly nazi referenced. But with that said i cant believe that even the most hardcore Elon supporters dont see what this is. It just becomes ridiculous trying to justify if with all the weird explanations.
Musk is South African, an Afrikaner. They were forced to clean up their act. How about Israel? It is not nations, but capitalism. It has become all too powerful. Omnipotent.
See my report-Con man just like Trump. Said he'd go to Mars, instead conned a whole generation into SpaceX/NSA Intel mil/industrial complex, said he'd end poverty, instead bought twitter and turned it far-Right, and made Trump President again. In fact, South African racist Musk, German Theil are likely engaged in MAGA eugenics using DOGE pirated Social Security data. /gallery/is-us-government-its-right-wing-oligarch-intel-contractors-engaged-eugenics-increasing-concern-gkOKLwd 1
I agree with your main point, which is why I wrote that it was a pedantic nitpick. Like, my correction didn't make Musk look better, it was just more accurate.
Ugh..I may get voted down to hell for this and I do think Elon is a right wing bigot of the highest order but I still believe his "nazi salute" was just him throwing his love. He symbolically grabbed his heart and threw it at the crowd. Sorry, that's just what I saw. The actual Nazi salute just brought the arm straight forward wtihout touching your chest first.
Except he's done an actual "giving his heart out" gesture to a crowd before, and it didn't look anything like a Hitlergruss. There's also at least one video comparison that shows Musk's salute at the same angle as another person doing an "actual" Nazi salute. Between Musk's use of explicitly white nationalist rhetoric, language, dogwhistles, and codewords, he should not be given the benefit of the doubt here.
the actual salute is all over the internet. Every one of them is just raising your arm, not touching your chest first. If you want, find a salute that does it like he did and it's fair to downvote me to hell.
My dude, you understand that there's no DIN-A-88 standard for how to do a nazi salute, right? It's a broad mixture of movements, borrowed/stolen from previous iterations, that changed over the years and the decades.
The point is the message it sends.
Elon Musk saluted the Nazis. The Nazis recognised his gesture as a salute to them.
Just checked, he did say that, but it sure as heck wasn't in the form of an apology, and it was only after initially dismissing criticism as just an attack on him by the media.

There's a reason he doesn't appear in public: Because 90% of the public would love to rip him apart.
That's not an injustice against him. It's an injustice against the public that they can't.

Pedantic nitpick: He didn't say he'd end poverty, he claimed he'd pay to end world hunger, but balked when it was too expensive. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-said-hed-6-220133724.html

Someone was kind enough to repost this today. The only real difference is that Musk pounds his chest before doing so.
MarkusAwesomesauce
Good stuff. I looked and looked for a video of Hitler or anyone associated to Hitler doing it like Elon and I never found it until you showed it here.
TheOneWhoWasLeft
As a German: That's a 13yo edgelord's idea of what a Hitlergruß looks like. It's the americanized version of that exact thing.
ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
Except he's done an actual "giving his heart out" gesture to a crowd before, and it didn't look anything like a Hitlergruss.

I'm not watching your nazi salute videos man.

That's how Germans did it 90 years ago. That's not how American nazis do it in the 21st century.
