      Well, he must have fallen out of the headlines for a day.

      I’m calling it, to keep outdoing himself he’s going to openly and seriously start suggesting nuking things.

        1. Don’t infantilise him. He’s not attention-starved, he’s a Nazi.
        2. Did everyone forget Trump already did that during his first term??? I am going absolutely insane. We know he will threaten to nuke anyone and everyone. And right now the odds aren’t looking good that he won’t actually do it. That’s my call. Nuclear war. People called me crazy in 2020 when I called Trump a fascist, and my worst predictions will be proven right again because everyone seems to be dead-set on downplaying the actions of these Nazi lunatics and acting surprised when they pull through with a Nazi promise which only emboldens them.

          Trumps a fascist but I think he’s bluffing about nukes. He’s been consistently anti war since before entering politics and he knows he doesn’t want to be a king amongst rubble.

            I think Trump is the kind of person who thinks the world is better off ending with him than going on without him. Nothing matters if he isn’t there to enjoy it; the true heart of narcissism.

            I mean hes old AF, living his remaining 2 years in a luxuary presidential bunker isn’t that bad of a retirement plan.

            Vance, however, probably doesn’t want to live decades in some bunker, so the only way to stop a crazy nuke-happy fascist seems to be a less crazy fascist (via 25th amendment). 🤦‍♂️

        “Mr. President, there was a nuclear detonation over Kiev”

        “Did we do it?”

        “No Sir, it seem to have been the Americans”

        (obviously this conversation would be in Russian, but most of us here don’t speak/read Russian so here’s the English version)

          I wouldn’t put it past Musk to be planning on a nuke strike somewhere to boost investment in SpaceX. “See, life on earth is fragile, we have to be able to leave (if you’re rich enough)!”

        he adds “my heart goes out to you”, so it was actually just Elon being really fucking stupid again

      Just… blatant. Plenty of time lingering on it. No cute pretending-to-fix-the-hair. Just an obvious, blatant nazi salute.

      Gotta love the Murdoch media…

      https://www.skynews.com.au/business/media/guardian-australia-falsely-suggests-billionaire-elon-musk-made-nazi-salutes-at-trump-event-as-media-blasted-for-misleading-allegations/news-story/87ee12096270397564ed460a26137ad7

      If he did it once, sure could be argued to be accidental, but he did it pretty forcefully, multiple times, and he baaaaarely has plausible deniability that he didn’t mean this as a wink wink to the neo-nazis.

      What was the context, in terms of his speech? Did he say something right before this or after it?

        “Thank you. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured, thanks to you.” - Elon Musk

        Then he did the seig heil salute. Just in case people are still confused, here’s Hitler’s own words from Mein Kampf on saving civilization.

        “All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood.” - Hitler
