He denied making a Nazi salute . He claimed he meant " My heart goes out to you ". If that really was the case then the optics of that looked terrible. What would have been better is if he made a heart shape with his two index fingers and thumbs and pointed at the crowed . Anyway , yes I agree it looked bad .
Yeah Musk’s Twitter denials reminded me of when those two Russians poisoned the guy and then said they were in Salisbury to see the cathedral.CEB2ElectricBoogaloo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 11:20 am for those who use them (and attempt to contextualise or downplay them) to essentially take the piss.

Ermm, yes it's a nazi salute .

Though in reality it shows weakness. Red Dwarf for example doesn’t have the actual balls to say “it’s a Nazi salute, and you know what? I like the cut of their jib”, so instead he disgraces himself by adopting what he knows is implausible - “I don’t know why they do it but it’s bad optics” even though he actually knows that by downplaying, he’s making excuses for actual nazis

I'm thinking I might go long as that way I can exercise my shareholder rights and try and change things from the inside.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 4:11 pmDumped your TSLA holding or waiting until the new tax year ?
So they're doing these salutes as a wind up?CEB2ElectricBoogaloo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 11:20 am what’s interesting - and damning of a couple of this messageboard’s c***s - is that the whole point of these symbols is for those who use them (and attempt to contextualise or downplay them) to essentially take the piss.

I didn’t say you denied that it’s a Nazi salute. I’m asking why you maintain “I don’t know what they’re thinking” rather than accepting that there’s a very obvious reason they’d do a Nazi salute, and that that reason should spur you to make it absolutely clear that any support you have given to those people was misguided, and so you retract it
Yes but don't forget, when those Russians were questioned they knew the exact height of the cathedral. I mean, who would know that? So something tells me they had a genuine interest in historical buildings in the UK..oxo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 2:03 pmYeah Musk’s Twitter denials reminded me of when those two Russians poisoned the guy and then said they were in Salisbury to see the cathedral.CEB2ElectricBoogaloo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 11:20 am for those who use them (and attempt to contextualise or downplay them) to essentially take the piss.

The obvious lie wasn’t a slip up on their point, it was meant to be implausible.
It’s a flex
That was actually quite farcically . Even our guy from MI5 said that was embarrassing.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2025 12:59 pmYes but don't forget, when those Russians were questioned they knew the exact height of the cathedral.

Those are just controlling techniques of the ultra narcissist.E10EU wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 12:21 am I have for some time wondered whether Trump is actually illiterate.
There was the occasion when he was due to sign an important agreement in view of the media. I watched this and was quite shocked that he looked at this several page document, with his finger moving along the first few lines, mumbling along and then abandoning the task, handing the papers to somebody else.
Today Starmer handed him the letter from Charles with invitation for a state visit. Trump opened it, looked at it.
Then the letter was back in Starmer's hands who read it out to him.
Also my first reaction to the King’s letter.E10EU wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 12:21 am I have for some time wondered whether Trump is actually illiterate.
