They’re going crazy. There’s little to say. The settlement of Donald Trump he gave the final blow to the international and Italian left in particular, which no longer knows what to do. The tycoon has already begun to keep the commitments made during the election campaign, a radical, uncompromising agenda. And already here the controversies are multiplying, with the usual idiots who want to explain to everyone how the world works and what is right and what is wrong. But the most surreal, as well as pathetic, controversy concerns one of the president’s main collaborators: let’s talk about Elon Musk.
In the last few hours a wave of controversy has been unleashed over the alleged Roman greeting done twice during the tycoon inauguration party. But what happened? Speaking on stage, Mr. Tesla stated that Trump’s lesson represents “a crossroads on the road to human civilization. You know, there are elections that come and go. Some elections matter, some don’t. But this, this was really important. And I just want to say thank you for making it possible. Thank you (…) My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured. Thanks to you. We will have safe cities, finally, safe cities, safe borders, sensible spending, basic things.” Then Musk clapped his right hand over his heart and then extended his arm. The photos and videos went viral and the left has seen fit to ride the controversy. What a bad end.
Nazi experts such as the historian Claire Aubin bothered – “Musk’s gesture it was a sieg heil” – While Roberto Saviano went completely haywire: “Damn you Musk. The end of all this will be violent, his fall will be equal to that of those he historically refers to with this gesture. Musk will fall at the hands of those he now incites fueled by the same violence he practices.” From the Democratic Party to the Avs, swollen and affected tirades. The usual, in short. But obviously this is unprecedented nonsense: how can Musk, a blatantly pro-Israeli man who prayed at the Wailing Wall, a libertarian in rights, be defined as a Nazi? Giusto Saviano can believe this nonsense or some other Taliban.
Common sense takes care of silencing the controversies. But not only that. Many German communications experts have pointed out that the Nazi salute, which is made with the hand and arms forming a single line, forward with four fingers together, elements that have never appeared in Musk’s gesture. There wouldn’t even be any question about it, then. But isn’t that enough for you, dear comrades? He thought about crushing the solons the Anti-Defamation Leaguethe organization founded to fight anti-Semitism that has criticized Mister Tesla in the past. Well, in his opinion it is not a sieg heil in the slightest: “It seems that Elon Musk made an embarrassing gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.” On the same wavelength another historian, Aaron Astor: “I have criticized Elon Musk many times for letting neo-Nazis pollute this platform (X, ed.). But this gesture is not a Nazi salute, but the gesture of a socially awkward autistic man greeting the crowd by saying ‘my heart is with you’.”
A media storm that ends, as often happens, with a triumph for Musk and a disgrace for the left. The South African entrepreneur did not mince words on the former Twitter: “Frankly they could do with better ‘dirty tricks’. The ‘they’re all Hitler’ attack is tiring.” The advice to all those who are having difficult hours is to take a little maalox as a digestive: certain stupid things only expose you to barbaric figures.
