Cory Booker does Nazi salute

@#16 ... Only a NAZI could tell the difference. ...

Not really.

When Mr Musk gave the salute, he then turned to others in the audience behind him and gave that same very energetic salute again.

Sen Booker, on the other hand (and based upon a random (doctored?) video on X that seems to be making the rounds), presented a slower ~salute~ and immediately afterwards held his hands at his heart on then raised both arms in a Rocky pose.

So, not the double Nazi-salute sequence that Mr Musk did.

And then there is Mr Musk's endorsement of the far-right parties in Germany.

Elon Musk tells German far-right crowd the nation should move beyond "past guilt" ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 2025)
www.cbsnews.com

... Elon Musk made a surprise videolink appearance at a campaign event for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on Saturday, during which he told a crowd of around 4,500 AfD supporters that "children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents," in an apparent reference to the Nazi Germany just two days before Holocaust Remembrance Day. The AfD, which Musk had previously voiced his support for, has been labelled a suspected extremist organization by Germany's national security services. ...

So, considering Mr Musk's support of a far-right suspected extremeist organization in Germany, his use of the Nazi salute seems to be on topic for him.

Does Sen Booker support such far-right extreme organizations?

"I'm playing by the rules"

Unless the rules are to purposely obfuscate, you're a lying sack of schittttt.

The second Nazi salute by Musk is a salient difference, wouldn't you agree?

Why did you leave out that important detail?

Musk salutes twice and Booker salutes once that's why he's not a Nazi and Musk is. You people are ------- retarded.

How can American far rwing populist authoritarian white nationalists with a Cult Leader backed by Oligarchs... not see themselves in the far rwing populist authoritarian white nationalists with a Cult Leader backed by Oligarchs in 1930's Germany?

Facts are facts, whether they are able to grok them or not.

Facts are facts, whether they are able to grok them or not.

I wonder what happens if you ask Grok, "Is Elon a Nazi"?

@#19 ... Musk salutes twice and Booker salutes once that's why he's not a Nazi and Musk is. ...

Like Pres Trump with his military parades, your current alias seems to be just showing its weakness in that comment.

Do try harder.

@#21 ... I wonder what happens if you ask Grok, "Is Elon a Nazi"? ...

An interesti ng question.

One that prompted my to visit xai.com.

And upon that attempted vist, here is what I saw ...

OK I went directly to Grok, and received this ...

... No, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Elon Musk is a Nazi. This accusation appears to stem from online speculation, memes, or misinterpretations of his actions or statements, often amplified by critics or satirical content on platforms like X.

Elon Musk is a public figure known for his work as a businessman, inventor, and CEO of companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. His political and social views, often expressed on X, lean toward free speech advocacy, skepticism of government overreach, and criticism of certain progressive policies.

Some of his statements or endorsements have sparked controversy, leading to polarized interpretations. However, equating this to Nazism -- a specific ideology tied to white supremacy, anti-Semitism, and authoritarianism -- is baseless and lacks substantiation from any reputable source. ...

@#24 ... Some of his statements or endorsements have sparked controversy, leading to polarized interpretations. ...

Ya think?

Nazism -- a specific ideology tied to white supremacy, anti-Semitism, and authoritarianism

But not Socialism? Grok missed that? It's right in the name, fer chrissake! Madbomber will be pissed.

Elon Musk salute controversy
en.wikipedia.org

... On January 20, 2025, while speaking at a rally celebrating U.S. president Donald Trump's second inauguration, businessman and political figure Elon Musk twice made a gesture interpreted by many as a Nazi or a fascist Roman salute.[a]

It was widely condemned as an intentional Nazi salute in Germany,[3][4][5] where making such gestures is illegal.[6] The Anti-Defamation League said it was not a Nazi salute,[7] but other Jewish organizations disagreed and condemned the salute.[8][9][10][11]

American public opinion was divided on partisan lines as to whether it was a fascist salute.[12] Musk dismissed the accusations of Nazi sympathies, deriding them as "dirty tricks" and a "tired" attack.[13][14] Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrated it as a Nazi salute.[15][16] Multiple European political parties demanded that Musk be banned from entering their countries. ...

@#24 ... No, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Elon Musk is a Nazi. ...

imo, it is not whether or not Mr Musk is a Nazi.

But the question is, does he support Nazi views?

For that I go back to the #17 comment.

"Cory Booker is clearly a Nazi."

"But the question is, does he support Nazi views?"

A question no Republican can answer.

"Facts are facts, whether they are able to grok them or not."t
That's just it Corky, as we all know there are many posters here as there are people, out in the real world of America who do not care about facts. Most of them care about supporting right wing ideology, facts are unnecessary for that. and by the way, Booker's gesture was not a Nazi salute; it was just a movement of his arm. A salute is a rigid gesture emphasizing akkegiance like Musk's was because he is a racist Nazi.

replace right with left, and you're describing yourself Danni.

Okay but they're still not the same. The left wing ideology has a much firmer grip on facts and truths than the right wing ideology. Here, I'll prove it to you with your answer to one easy question:

Does the Second Amendment have anything to do with higher rates of gun violence in the United States, compared to the rest of the modern world?

It would have to be linked as it is what allows the tool into the mix. I do think those stats are misused. I don't think lumping in suicides with violent acts is correct. I would also compare acts of violence in general with the world, and not gun violence alone.

Hopefully I answered your question?

"I don't think lumping in suicides with violent acts is correct."

Okay.
Let's discuss suicides separately.
Let me try to show you the impact of the Second Amendment just by looking at suicide.

Men who own handguns are eight times more likely to die of gun suicides than men who don't own handguns, and women who own handguns are 35 times more likely than women who don't.

Gun suicide rates in the United States are significantly higher compared to the rest of the world. This study found that Greenland is #1, but that's only 56,000 people, so can really be thought of an an outlier compared to the Untied States, which is ranked #2 in the world for gun suicides. You have to go down to Finland, notorious for suicide, to get to a modern country on the list and they're at 1/3 the US rate:

A total of 52,694 (45,110 male and 7584 female) deaths of suicide by firearm were reported worldwide in 2019. The global ASR of suicide by firearm was six-fold higher in males than in females (1.15 per 100,000 and 0.19 per 100,000, respectively), and varied greatly across countries: the highest rates were in Greenland (24.52 per 100,000 and 2.69 per 100,000, respectively) and the United States of America (10.13 per 100,000 and 1.66 per 100,000, respectively), while the lowest rates (0.05 per 100,000 or less) were observed in China, Japan and Singapore.
