But it is certainly pathetic as he continually dishonors his friend's memory. What a pitiful existence. Expand Nah. He’s playing you. He’s a troll and he gets off on purposely agitating everyone. He loves it like a pig in mud. The more ridiculous he gets, the more attention he receives. He probably also part of another maga community where he brags about how much lib trolling that he’s doing here. He doesn’t believe half of the things he says here and is just doing it because he gets a weird rise out of it. 1 Quote

ewsieg Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Jesus, it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder for a reason. It can span a wide range. I'm not even saying he didn't do the Nazi salute, just pointing out he claims he didn't and when I first saw it, I simply thought it looked awkward and if you want to get technical, it wasn't a Nazi salute, he started covering his heart. Add in the fact he does have a disorder that most people associate with odd behavior and awkward responses and that does add some validity to his claim. Is he lying, maybe. Is Oblong 100% correct with his reasonings regarding why he doubts Elon's claim, absolutely. And again, my biggest issue is that you claim I was being disparaging. **** that ****. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted January 21 Posted January 21 President Musk is openly promoting and supporting the far right AfD Party in Germany. The AfD Party has a history of antisemitism, bigotry, Islamophobia, and xenophobia. Even the Conservative Party leadership in Germany has denounced the AfD and President Musk's support for it. Quote
