I completely agree. When information is corrupted it puts democracy in danger.
We've got you lot (the far left) screaming that it was obviously a Nazi salute and he should be immediately imprisoned or killed or whatever it is y'all want to happen to him.
Then you've got the far right morons like the kkk and others saying it was a Nazi salute and they are excited for being able to proudly show off their racism in public again or whatever those psychos are jerkin off about.
What both of those extremes fail to realize is that everyone else who doesn't fall into either extreme radicalized camp did not see it that way. For anyone even remotely moderate (which is most people) they saw the situation for what it actually was. An autistic guy who has always been socially awkward making weird stiff movements while giving a speech.
CBS is covering their asses by firing a news presenter for publicly making false claims about the richest man in the world. Something that could potentially lead to a very very expensive lawsuit and much more trouble for the entire company and staff. I'm no lawyer but considering he didn't do the Nazi salute I would guess they are worried about getting caught up in a defamation case. Especially dangerous when you consider that Elon is now best buddies with king Cheeto.
He didn't "do the Nazi salute"
He did the Nazi salute, twice, for an audience of millions.
If he was "just awkward" he would have immediately and publicly apologized. If he had anything resembling humanity, respect or humility he would have sent a clear message that that symbol is a symbol of hate, of losers, and is the antithesis of being American.
But he just Urkle-shrugs and idiots like you defend him. People get fired for saying a fact. And you play the "both sides" and "he's just awkward" cards.
If anyone should be apologizing it should be all of you delusional wackos who have been accusing him of doing something he didn't do for several days now.
There are SO many valid factual things to call Elon out for but y'all are latched into this nothing shit and getting furious about it. The rest of us are fucking worried about you guys.
All of you are significantly disconnected from reality.
