But the "my heart goes out to you" gesture is palm-up... permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 years ago (1 child) Generally you don't yeet your heart out with such force either permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'll give him this.

How many times have we seen things that are sooort of close to the nazi salute so people are like "hey better not do that." And this is stuff that's like basically just anything holding your hand in the air. This was straight up the salute lol I mean there's no two ways about it. The question is what the intention was. And if it wasn't intended to be some sort of nod to Nazism or fascism or something, why in the flying fuck would you do it?! lol I mean everyone in the literal world knows it would prolly be a bad idea to do anything like that but the self proclaimed Uber genius, smartest man in the world, ultra mega mastermind, God gamer musk... It just slips his mind? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (3 children) The fact that he does it with such force and enthusaism too... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago And turns 180 to do it again.

I think that's just copium. They're not stupid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] currycourier@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I mean Trump obviously is, its not exactly hard to see from how he talks and acts. You can also see from his tax records how he has managed to consistently lose money over decades as one of the worst businessmen ever. When you have that much money you can make more by just hiring a financial planner to invest it in the market for you. Instead he managed to lose money investing in a casino? Thats honestly kind of impressively dumb. Elon might be smarter than the average person, but that isn't saying much when over half the US cannot read at a sixth grade level. He certainly isn't the genius that people make him out to be. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago He may be a moron, but he knew exactly what he was doing and he meant it with every fiber of his being. permalink fedilink source parent [–] VerifiedSource@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) My heart goes out to you is the fig leaf Elon used for plausible deniability. He probably thinks he was terribly clever. Which, as it turns out, he was. Elon will get away with this and pushed the envelope of what’s possible. Others will imitate him. This has all the elements for a softer fascist salute, where the words aren’t „Sieg Heil!“ or „Duce!“, but simply „my heart!“. A salute with the hand moving from heart to extension while saying firmly „my heart!“ works well to be visually striking. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) But fElon doesn't have a heart permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago He does have a heart, don't make that mistake.
