Pepe the Frog is just a cartoon. it's just a symbol, the meaning is something you are ascribing to it. there's probably something wrong with your perception that makes you do that. you have Pepe derangement or something. people disagree about interpretations all the time, and that fact is more valid than whatever it is you're thinking. next time, consider not becoming upset. consider how you're always wrong about these things, because you don't have the full context.

remembering that time that Biden walked down the aisle with the 81-year old medal of honor recipient and they were both wearing masks. but then they both took them off when he gave him the medal, and kept them off. even though Biden's wife actively had COVID at the time. some might say Biden performed an awkward gesture.

Musk, and a lot of his followers, have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the audience-performer dynamic works. What's comedy isn't decided by a policy of a tech company, or by a government. It lives within that dynamic of how an audience reacts. You can't make Musk's posts funny by decree, they have to be funny to the audience.
These people like to lean on 'it was just a joke' or 'you are reading into something'. But many actual comedians have fallen into the right-wing pipeline from the other side - they know their communication is 'just a joke', but they're upsettio that people don't find it funny. When something is just a joke from the perspective of the performer, but doesn't land, it matters. Enough boos and the performer will say they're cancelled, they'll say 'you can't even do comedy anymore'. No, the general 'you' can, everyone can. Comedy is a form of expression that's just always there, it's a dynamic that has existed forever. You in particular cannot do comedy, because the audience doesn't like what you say. No matter what you write in your terms of service.
The audience will read into things, that's how art is. All communication comes with layers of connotation, context, references to other art. Audiences synthesize all this and decide if they find it aesthetic or unaesthetic. We're gonna keep booing.

For a broad definition of 'awkward', it was an awkward gesture. If you think of all communication as performance, then some communication is just so distasteful that it makes the audience feel like they have to take action. Sometimes, gestures are such unenjoyable theater that it makes everyone freak out. You don't really have to decide if intention is behind this kind of thing, if you have a visceral reaction to some performance, you are allowed to boo. Everyone's a critic and nowadays most critics have bad taste. (see most US newspapers)

OK fine I agree with you that he did the nazi salute accidentally. It followed from his state of mind, which is sympathetic to nazis. It followed from his history of watching nazi videos and admiring them. I accidentally hated it. I accidentally thought that he's despicable. I accidentally ignored your shamefully defending him.

Can the government legislate who is cool? Can they fix our culture so that these innocent bros are not targeted anymore? Is not government-approved the coolest thing you can be? You thought a blue check was something, just wait. It's going to be even cooler than a Cybertruck was.

"This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead" - The ADL's advice on how to meet this moment
I think it's so important to keep mocking Elon. It's a small bit of resistance but I think it has a big impact. They want to seem serious, stately. Trump wants to be known as a 'unifier'. The media and groups like ADL are going to work overtime to not only normalize this but make it sound like honest-to-goodness attempts at being relatable. To sound like super serious governing by great men.
It's so important that we keep saying how pathetic they look. How their whole brand is gross and off-putting. How their supporters have bad taste, which we don't respect. They are putting on a little show called 'we know what we're doing' and we have to keep tanking its ratings.

the people who managed to turn the OK hand symbol into a Nazi salute constantly lie to you about what they are obviously doing. we have to always give the worst interpretation of their actions because it's usually the right one.
