He never denied it.
Would love if it would go to trial (he will make sure it won't) and court deciding that it indeed a Nazi salute.
There's nothing even remotely similar, because in the past 80 years we were trying to make sure no one confused us accidentally with Nazis.
Yea, which is the damning part! The whole “misunderstanding” can be wrapped up by by a single sentence: Sorry guys, that wasn’t that and I hope nazis gonna get pegged by living electric poles!
He thinks, "can't we all get beyond this Nazi stuff?" like he said in Germany, while promoting Nazis, is going to make it all go away.
The funny thing is in Germany, you can kinda punch a nazi! You can definitely punch one if you are jewish and you might be able to otherwise depending on the judge! In the past several attorneys argued successfully that even the mere presence of nazis can existentially be dangerous and feeling threatened is justified!
I think it would be really funny if someone invited musky :3
I think it's safe to say that nobody will confuse Elon with a Nazi.
Hard to confuse an apple with an apple
Yes one defense against a libel suit is to prove that what you said was the truth. Would be hilarious to see this play out in court.
