MODERATORS
Could you please just spend the 5 seconds it takes to get the original image instead of one taken by screenshot that has an overlay on top of it? I'm tired of seeing your posts with the same overlay. It takes effectively no time or effort. I would rather have fewer posts on Lemmy than lazy posts like this.
Isn't that backwards?
That makes it the ancient religious symbol that Nazis were originally copying.
The swastika exists in both orientations and any rotation, but the Nazi-symbol was the flipped version of the one depicted.
Yes, so reversing it makes it actually the original religious symbol, and NOT the nazi symbol.
This "orientation" debate is pointless, especially since Elon is absolutely the type of shithead to do that for plausible deniability, but even further:
They weren't copying the Hindu/Buddhist/Dharmic symbols, though you better believe Aryan theorists had opinions on it.
In form, yes, but the intent is clearly for it to be the Nazi symbol.
He was probably referencing the one on his tattoo on a mirror?
Mirrored logo? Why?
mirrored what? we dont know what you mean. its a comepletly original design, never seen before
Because it's precisely the sort of thing Elon would do.
His fans, including his ego, will call it genius.
Everyone else knows better.
Looks like the new Tesla logo.
No no, see, it's an upright "s" with a sideways "s" going through it. I've also got an alternative:
Fascism comes in different flavors that reference each other, but are never quite the same. We're seeing an unfolding of American Fascism that has its own shape and plays out its own way.
...but it's always fascism, regardless of the society is emmerges in, and each society needs to defend against it in its own ways.
Always wondered why Elon gets so horny for the letter x, SpaceX and xAI make more sense now.
who is this orange shirt person?
One of his imaginary friends
And even he doesn't like him
Damn, Musky has to be a huge loser for their own imaginary friends to hate them.
Some techbro CEO at the correspondent's dinner
Tangerine Joe
Why does that look like Elon? Good job cartoonist.
It's got too much hair
