Piers Morgan @Piersmorgan

Elon Musk was very ill-advised to do this kind of salute to denote his clearly
stated ‘my heart goes out to you’ sentiment… but he obviously didn’t mean it as
a Nazi salute and anyone who says he did is being a disingenuous idiot.

Piers doesn't believe it wasn't intentional and neither do you. #mindreader, so sick of people playing dumb.

The most hopeful thing that can be said about it, is that I think Musk is enough of a troll/weirdo/uncaring of consequences/off his tits on Ket, that he MIGHT have been doing it simply to deliberately wind people up.

What is humorous though is that to genuinely believe he didn't know what he was doing, you have to believe that he is stupid. Like just plain dumb. Those are your three options; he's a white supremacist, he's a troll, or he's stupid.

My opinion would be that he's 25%-70%-5% of the above, in terms of his reasoning for doing this.

The worrying part isn't that he did it it's actually the very thing we're seeing here: the lengths people will go to to make excuses for it.

There was a distinctly Messianic quality to Donald Trump’s inaugural address.
He claimed God had saved him from an assassination attempt last year in
order that he could “make America great again”. The religious nature of the
event in the Capitol added to the sense that many of those present also
thought he and the country had the blessing of the Almighty.


He is banishing “woke” from public life, declaring there are only two genders
and restoring the rights of people to untrammelled free speech. Much of this
will be welcomed on the political Right in Britain and elsewhere, but will
infuriate the progressives, who now face the most implacable enemy
imaginable.

I will admit to smiling when I heard he’d attended a church service beforehand …

Because he was already sworn in, and this was him being sworn in in front of the establishment he hates, so wouldnt want to swear on a bible for them.

The WHO have released a butthurt statement essentially because their gravy train has somewhat derailed by the USA pulling out

Can you quote the "butthurt" part of the statement or would posting it at all cast doubt on your BS, and you're just hoping no one will bother to look.

They're another gigantic, wildly expensive yet toothless organisation, just like the like UN.

I did, that's why I'm asking if you can quote the "butthurt" part. Or is it that they posted anything at all that's butthurt? I bet you have a word document up with the alternative "WHO hasn't said anything about it because they're in a huff" version of your lame sh*tposting :joker:.

Except Jews don't believe in heaven, so that's racist.

but yeah the ''Sieg Heil'' salute is a no go, no matter who does it

Livia 21-01-2025 12:43 PM

Citing every movement of the right arm as a Sieg Heil is the epitome of reaching. I mean... people, please... try not to make yourselves look stupid in your endless effort to discredit people you don't approve of. Trump did a military salute during the national anthem. Why? He isn't in the military and if he was he would only salute if he was wearing headgear, a beret or cap. No one got bent out of shape about that, right? But Oooo Musk raised his right hand! He must be a Nazi!

Ridiculous comment if you watched the clip Livia. He did not just "raise his right hand". Genuinely, genuinely chilling that you'd be willing to excuse/overlook what he plainly and deliberately did; whether it was a real sentiment or some sort of "joke".

Oliver_W 21-01-2025 12:51 PM

Maybe I'm naive or something, but as I was listening to what he said it looked like he grabbed his heart and threw it out, it didn't even occur to me it looked like he was asking if we'd Seen Kyle ...

Stop it.

And Livia tell me again he's just "raising his right hand". With a straight face. Like I said the lengths that will be gone to to deny it - it's right there. It's not a rumour or an exaggeration. Horrifying stuff.

You're not naive... the desperation of the people who dislike him has an odour of desperation.

If I'd posted this to you a year ago you'd have reported me for anti-semitism Livia - thank goodness we now know it's just a South African billionaire with heavy ties to right-wing politics waving hello to his fans.
