Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

English is not my native tongue, and I knew I was on thin ice with that one…
Not a big deal, I just prefer knowing if I make a mistake in my second language so I don’t keep making it.
It’s actually “on thin eyes”, i.e people are watching you closely.
Nah just fucking with ya.
It’s good that he’s not taking his ESL for granite.
And then those better minds snapped up as many Nazi scientists they could and put them to work for “the good guys”, and burnt a few crosses.
