    Everyone loved Elon until he showed his conservative side.

    I didn't like him until he woke up and became a conservative.

    Don't remember it being a problem when Kamaltoe did it.

    But here is a video. It looks weird but I think he's just an awkward dude.

    How's about a forum 5er if you post the video of her doing the **** salute. I'll put 10 against 5 says it's not even close to the same thing? You in?

  • CharlieHeisCharlieHeis Posts: 8,773 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nah I'm good. I barely buy cigars anymore so I doubt you'd want my BLTC and new world Cameroon. Did you watch the explanation video of Elon with sound yet?

  • OutdoorsSmoke_21191OutdoorsSmoke_21191 Posts: 4,046 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Vision i’m not sure what that was. It kind of looked like a half dap if you ask me. I looked up the Hitler salute on Wikipedia and for every picture that I could find the arm was straightforward not to the side for whatever that’s worth.

  • VisionVision Posts: 9,444 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I did. Still pretty bad optics. You sure? If you don't buy cigars you must be low. 15 cigars if it's anything like that. Not just a photo from DogeDesigner twitter account.

  • VisionVision Posts: 9,444 ✭✭✭✭✭

    So just tone deaf?

  • VisionVision Posts: 9,444 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And I do my home work.... I post everything I find. Not just support for a narrative.

    I saw some saying it was meant to be a Roman salute but definitely not a good idea for him to do it.

    I have no problems, just more work to do.

    The swastika is a very old symbol that likely originated in Eurasia as early as 7,000 years ago. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit word svastika, which means "good fortune" or "well-being"

    Im thinking zero people are running that bumper sticker and then telling people about the origin...

  • CharlieHeisCharlieHeis Posts: 8,773 ✭✭✭✭✭

    You're right Pete. Incredibly bad optics. Also I found this which, like Elon, is not a **** salute and didn't make the left flip out, which was my point. https://x.com/kuraiholy/status/1881462220007276686?t=5xbcH0Bu3kAEC6pHajSDvQ&s=19

    I just watched it, I don't know how I can call that anything besides a Sieg Heil. I mean, he did it twice in a row.

    It's the classic 5 monkeys experiment. The reaction, that is.

    Or maybe he's just signaling Up and Away, Junior Birdman!" But, people will read into it whatever they wish to see. Not sure if I count as a "Trumpsketeer", though, since I didn't vote for him.

    Or for her.

    All in all, though, his awkward juvenile antics are less scary than the Machiavellian puppet masters at the DNC, so. Interesting time to be alive. As in the Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times".
