Elon’s Nazi salute could not have been timed better for Xiaohongshu. Days ago, the general view of him on there was still where it was back before he bought Twitter, when people just knew him as the cool science guy who makes rockets like Iron Man. The American users started giving some dirt on him, and then wham, the clip was all over the platform, it got taken down because of the Nazi salute, but you could not have asked for more something more concrete to show them.
Chinese users love a man (or especially woman) in uniform, and they haven’t learned that American cops and military aren’t chill like that. The Elon stuff makes sense, it was the Nazis that threw me off the first time
Tons of US military and police there, it some of the most popular stuff among the Chinese users.
There is also a ton of Elon/Elon mom stans and also a ton of Alice Weidel stans
