Yes, that's a real headline

Associated Press is journalisming some real journalism

quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn’t totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it.

“I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said during a speech at Capital One Arena, referring to Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Then he slapped his hand on his chest, extended his arm straight out and up with his palm facing down.

“My heart goes out to you,” said Musk, after turning around to make a similar gesture facing the other way.

Many social media users noticed that the gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Musk has only fanned the flames of suspicion by not explicitly denying those claims in a dozen posts since, though he did make light of the criticism and lashed out at people making that interpretation.


He didn't deny it, but yet ....


quote:


“The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk posted on X several hours after he left the stage.

This is why the left cannot be taken seriously.

The left is a dangerous lot of mind control and political zombification.
They can turn anything into what that prefer it be simply with imagination.

Then the media amplifies that figment.

It’s akin to letting you 5 year old believe they can fly. Then he takes all his friends onto the rooftop to join him.

I see the MSM talking points are still going out like it's business as usual.

Wasn't AOC allegedly in full blown meltdown over this as well?

The “everyone I don’t like is Hitler” narrative is painfully played out, but the left is nothing more than groupthink.

Musk is socially awkward. Most geniuses are. Anyone who thinks he did a Nazi salute is straight up an idiot.

Any human being that saw it knows that's not remotely what he did.

And the "white nationalists" that are "embracing" it are just on-line people making jokes about it and posting memes, also knowing that was not what he did.

He literally pounded his chest and thrust his arm forward and said "my heart goes out to you"

frick the Marxist and their propaganda machine.
Let em scream and cry about whatever they want.
Some idiots around here call Trump supporters a cult. No, what your seeing with the Marxist left and their propaganda is truly cult behavior.

Exactly. Best to just ignore the MSM and liberals for the next 4 years. There will be a lot of sky screaming, misleading headlines, crying, Trump/Musk are Hitler, etc. It's the only thing they know how to do.

Imagine taking the AP seriously, really since the 1960s. Just imagine that...

They’ve painted themselves into a corner.

Not much worse than “literally Hitler”

They’re 100% broken at this point.

I'll reserve judgement for when he calls for journalists to be put into ovens. At that time, although a good Idea, I'll ask him to tone it down.
