<p>Musk appeared at a far right political rally a short time later, and told them not to be ashamed of their heritage (<a href="https://www.gbnews.com/politics/us/elon-musk-afd-germany" rel="nofollow">https://www.gbnews.com/politics/us/elon-musk-afd-germany</a>).<p>The AfD who he appeared in support of has been found in court to use nazi imagery in political advertising (<a href="https://www.world-today-journal.com/afds-moller-fined-e12000-for-alleged-hitler-salute-on-campaign-poster/" rel="nofollow">https://www.world-today-journal.com/afds-moller-fined-e12000...</a>).<p>So the seig heil didn't happen in isolation, there's a followup of explicit support for nazi-adjacent political ideologies.<p>Does this count as evidence to support that this was an intentional seig heil to you, even if it doesn't change your mind? What evidence would change your mind?</p>

<p>I've seen the claimed pictures in context with their videos, they are distinctly different gestures in timing and emphasis - normal waves, without the sharp hand to chest -> locked elbow with hand outstretched motion. Again, the seig heil is a particular gesture with a particular emphasis and timing which Musk imitated precisely, twice in quick succession. Those other photos are decontextualized from gestures which were clearly different motions entirely.<p>You're spouting easily refuted nonsense, and then immediately making ad hominem attacks because your points are extremely weak and not backed up by the evidence you vaguely cite.<p>You're also getting ratioed because people here are not idiotic ideologues. Please do better.<p>---<p>I'll also leave you with a nice quote from Sartre which was directed at the fascists of the time - we've seen this shit before, we know what you're doing:<p>“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”</p>

<p>Why? The timing was precise, the motion was precise, his facial features were grimaced with intense determination. I cannot fathom calling it anything else, and I see denying it as a kind of shibboleth for "we know but we are pretending it wasn't, wink wink nudge nudge".<p>Either it was deliberate, or the richest man on earth is so incompetent that he accidentally made a motion exactly mimicking a seig heil while welcoming a self-proclaimed king and dictator. Twice - once towards the audience, and once towards the flag of the united states. Neither option is good.<p>What was it?</p>

<p>The main issue I have with grok is that Musk, its owner, did 2x seig heil at the presidential inauguration, and proceeded to gaslight the world about it (this is a strong form of dogwhistling, kind of a dog bullhorn). Therefore all services which have anything to do with Musk are ineligible for use - they are directly funding the worst kind of person.</p>

<p>Then distilling models and deobfuscating reasoning traces isn't.<p>Mass downloading copyrighted works is. Which they did. Aaron got threatened with 20 years, they got pentagon contracts.</p>

<p>They definitely stole the data to make the models, but they do not say that they stole the data to make the models, but they do say that others using their outputs for unauthorized purposes is stealing. Do you see the point?</p>
