You call it what it was, a Nazi salute.
Because if he cries defamation and wants to sue, stand there in court and give the judge the finger. The judge shoukd either accept that hand gestures have commonly accepted meanings or endure the whole case while you give everyone the finger. Probably make a few wanking motions with your hand for good measure...
News from today; german prosecutor is investigating against the guys who projected this on the Teslafactory for showing illegal Nazi symbolics. So: for german prosecutors it definitely was a Nazi salute.
Not so quick, they say the gesture was "out of context" and resembles the Nazi gesture. So even the German police/law is going to gag on musk's dick. Great, I didn't know we are there already.
So this will be added as a right wing crime in the logs? Got it
That is not German humor, that is German anger.
Tbf, german humor and german anger are hard to distinguish by people who aren't used to both.
Genau.
His response kinda confirms it was exactly what it looked like:
“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote on the social platform X, responding to a post describing the “salute hoax” as “just another part of the ‘dirty tricks campaign.’”
“The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk added, with a sleeping emoji.
The only response to that should be
Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler
Yeah, I mean, it's obviously trolling to begin with. What he did is undeniably similar to the nazi salute, yet he dismisses that fact without even slightly addressing it. It's intentionally lazy, and trying to conflate less-apt Hitler comparisons with an incredibly applicable one. Because he knows this approach will work for his intended audience, and he gets to chuckle to himself about being untouchable.
german news media reports this is fake picture? Is that true?
No, it's real. It was an art installation at the Tesla Factory Berlin.
Damn you are right, this rbb (german funded media) article in german reports this in detail https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2025/01/tesla-gruenheide-led-by-donkeys-zentrum-fuer-politische-schoenheit-beamer-projektion-fassade.html
German police started investigating the activists for showing "Verwendens von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen" (I will roughly translate this to "usage of unconstitutional symbols") . Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?

Oh that's good
Led By Donkeys are British (they formed in the wake of Brexit)
Center for Political Beauty is also a dope name and group tho. They do great work.
Proud supporter here. I chuck them a few quid every month.
And i thought that's a very beautiful photoshop, even emulating the light ray.
Same here, knowing it's a projector that everyone can see just makes my day.
People in South Africa must hate this guy
For good reason.
🤘👏

Why oh why do they post on x only and not say threads or bluesky?
The engagement drives profit and funds Nazis.
I don't think anyone who considers their self decent should be using xitter anymore. They just normalise the acceptability.
Because of the target audience. We know this already, many others don’t. Yet. But I agree they should post it elsewhere too.
https://bsky.app/profile/ledbydonkeys.org/post/3lgeadvbaek2g here is a bluesky post
Damn, there are comments defending Musk, saying that Tesla are the safest or that Europe is dead because of leftists.
My fellow Europeans, can we please ban them, ban X and all the US republicans, never speak to them again and just continue living a good peaceful life with the rest of the world?
Xcunts seething about that post lmao
Oh thanks for that ‘cancel’ tip!
Obligatory "I've never met a nice South African"
I hope they will make it permanent.
Not a meme. Do we really need politics on every-single-community?
This is your daily reminder that being anti-facist isn't political, it's just good common sense!
Sorry, next time I'll wrap it in a nice "nobody:
The Germans:"
ALL Western media are politics now
Also catch upvote
