I asked Chat-GPT aboout Elon’s salute, just for fun, and it replied it could not analyse pictures and I needed to describe it to him. I had pictures analysed before, even traslating and explaining a cartoon joke. I tought it could be caused by the .webp format. So I retried the joke image and it worked fine. I uploaded a png of Elon and it went wrong. Can others repeat the experience or was it just a fluke? I am not angry just let down a little.
I am so glad I watched the video. Seeing his arm in motion really drives it home. (Skip ahead about 17 seconds to spare yourself the agony of hearing his voice.)
Talking about his “heart” was obviously only included as an incredibly weak attempt at an excuse for the salute. I’m sure there are apologists out there who have lapped it up, though.
Like my dad
No response after that obviously. It would break his brain to accept this is happening.
I think your dad might have been objecting more to your language and tone, than to what you were actually saying. Not that your dad isn’t a tad naive with his taken liberties, but you’d win his ear more if you talked to him with a little bit of mutual respect.
Always keep in mind: this is the guy who fed you when you couldn’t feed yourself
No offense but you’re kind of cringey. Your dad is an idiot but so are you
No offense but your opinion means nothing to me.
Sending soyjacks to your father is a choice.
Not necessarily a bad choice just not one I’d make.
Always interesting to see the American boomer perspective from the front lines.
Meh I get that and it’s not something I make a habit of, but it communicates the point well. A thousand words and all that.
Actual Nazi Nick Fuentes is on video saying “that is a genuine, bonafide Roman Salute” (paraphrasing)
Saw that on The Humanist Report’s coverage of it today, who, jokingly, tried giving Musk as much “benefit of the doubt” or “leeway” as he could, while citing sources like Fuentes.
Musk is a card carrying Nazi, same as the rest.
Oh, I’ve seen the appologists here on Lemmy hours after he did it. I downvoted them and told them to fuck off.
