How fucking scary is it that the richest person in the world is a fucking nazi piece of shit and now one of our supreme leaders? If you ask the people around me, “meh.”
Honestly none of them strike me as true adherents. They just go whichever direction looks like it will give them more power or money. If there is a next administration or some BLM like cause comes back in vogue you’ll see them out there preaching to that choir as if they had always supported that cause.
It’s really important to remind people who are defending Musk what he was doing in Germany just a few days before this salute.
He was fucking defending Nazis.
This salute was no accident.
Even Musk hasn’t claimed it was an accident.
Completely agree. High five!!! Oh shit. Shit shit shit I forgot How tall I am.
Just a joke. Not defending just a joke. That little weasel doesn’t even have the balls to be an actual Nazi. Nazis are bad but He’s pretending to be a Nazi and denying it. That’s… Somehow… Worse. “Say what you want about the tenets of Nazis, atleast it’s an ethos”
Framing being a Nazi as having a defining rubric of out and proud suggests a false spectrum linking being brave and cowardly to a range between Nazi and Not Nazi. It’s more of a boolean function. A Nazi coward hiding in linen cupboard and an audacious Nazi in the streets willing to take a punch are still both just Nazis.
The Nazis had great fashion sense as well. I mean, they murdered millions and all, but looked fantastic doing it.
This new crop has the fashion sense of a neckbeard living in a college dorm.
If you’re going to trample the rights of my loved ones and myself, at least have the decency to wear some spiffy shiny leather boots and accessorize with some skull jewelry.
Have yall thought that it’s maybe possible he did it not because he’s a Nazi, but to troll people and spark outrage?
Who cares if he did it to troll or is actually a Nazi? Either way he’s a rich person with immense power signalling that he might be, and that’s just as bad. Emboldening Nazis as a troll gives them cover to “joke” about it as well.
Also, he was in Germany recently defending Nazis, so he’s definitely a Nazi.
That’s reasonable. I still have my doubts about him being a Nazi tho.
If you’re seriously not convinced and willing to have your mind changed, watch the Some More News video, Elon’s Hitler Problem. Either musk is a Nazi, or he’s just signalling suuuuuuuuuuper hard over a long period of time that he might be a Nazi.
At some point, you stop wearing a mask and that’s just your face
Maybe you are right. I just find it hard to believe.
What does this mean? “At some point, you stop eating a may and that’s just your face”
*wearing a mask
Damned autocorrect
why not both?
Could be both, yes.
He’d still be a piece of shit for throwing a Nazi salute during the inauguration of a US president.
There’s zero excuse for him to do this, stop defending fascists.
Sure. But is it the same level of bad if the was trolling vs if he was actually a Nazi. I would argue both are bad, but one is def worse. I wholeheartedly believe that you are completely wacko if you think both are equal.
Dont look at any evidence pointing at the fact he is a nazi, like how he just backed a party that wants to have constitution changed so secret police can do raids without any legal requirement. Sure seems trolly to me to back a party like that. A man with numerous nazi sympathies. Very trolly. would also be incredebly troll if there was more evidence pointing at the fact he harbours nazi sympathies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyPSKLy5E4&t=706s Oh no look an entire video showing he really hates nazis and was just trolling. Done a year ago.
Why are you dodging? We are not arguing if he is trolling or not anymore. I have completely shifted the argument towards determining if trolling with a nazi salute (if he was hypothetically trolling) was equally as bad as him being a Nazi.
Please go back and read my comments above.
Open your eyes and look at the backlash and take two seconds to take it in. The answer is all around you. No its not as bad as being a literal nazi and its forgivable if some dumb ass kids do it to be edgelords. can’t stop it, dumb kids do tons of stupid things since they are literally by the pure defintion of the word mentally underdeveloped to the point of being deficet, stupid and not of sound body or mind compared to adults. Which is why kids dont get to drink, drive, vote, take real responsibility for their actions, work full time or own guns.
It is very bad when a big public figure and a politican does it at an inauguration. And then doesn’t apolagize. Especially if he has made tweets like responding “actual truth” to posts that say “da joos are importing all the immigrants that ruin america”(paraphrased but an actual, real thing that happened)
Thank you. That’s all I was arguing. Was that so hard?
Glad we agree musk is a nazi piece of shit and everyone defending him is stupid.
That would be just as concerning. Next he might build death camps to troll the libs with that bad taste of humor
Trolling with a Nazi salute would be “just as concerning” as him actually being a nazi? Do you even know what you just said?
Yes, someone who murders for the fun of it scares me even more than just a plain murderer.
Do you know that you just defended someone doing the fascist salute?
Huh? So you are essentially saying that someone doing a Nazi salute as a troll is JUST AS BAD as actually being a Nazi and doing Nazi things? You can’t be for real.
Note: I’m not saying that he is def just trolling, but it seems like it to me personally. I’m not here to defend Nazis or anything like that. I’m simply trying to figure out if you really genuinely believe that a Nazi salute as a troll (hypothetically) is just as bad as actually being a Nazi. To me personally one if def worse than the other.
He should take a big fat shit on the american flag, set it on fire. Would also be pretty based and trollpilled. Maybe next he should say “lmao get rekt” to all school shooting victims. That would also be really trolly pro gamer move I want a public figure who is also now in politics to make. Very based.
Are you implying that I’m saying what he did is based? If so - you are very wrong. I’m just trying to say that while 2 things can be BAD - one can still be worse. Is that so hard to comprehend?
He probably did it to troll people and spark outrage but that does not mean that he isn’t also a Nazi / fascist.
I also think he did it for lolz and outrage, but I kinda doubt he’s really a Nazi. idk
I was talking about this with my friend and she was like, “I heard it’s just a Roman Salute.” Be ready to be surprised at how many people will defend this crap.
“I hear it’s actually just a toothbrush moustache”
It really is sad how many things that little fuck nugget has ruined. In this particular instance I mean Hitler.
Swastika? Neat, simple little geometric shape. Independently created by a few different cultures. Ruined.
“Roman salute”? Kinda neat looking, again simple. And again probably independently invented in a few places, but definitely Roman. Ruined
The charlie Chaplin mustache? More widely adopted after WWI as a style that would fit under a gas mask. Ruined
I’m not trying to campaign to rehab any of these things or apologize for musk. Just kinda sad how all this cool shit got tainted.
everybody calls it a fascist salute, except for fascists who call it a roman salute
That’s what I told her. I let her know that anyone trying to correct her with that is trying to play games.

I saw a nazi just as clearly as you saw a nazi. And no, we did not just see a nazi salute, we saw a complete nazi piece of shit. There’s no more to this story, nothing here is up for debate.
I think we need to include the reaction from Musk on this topic. Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The “everyone is Hitler” attack is sooo tired 😴.
Not even Musk is denying the salute. He just doesn’t want to be called Hitler.
Can we chill with the Nazi salute guys?
Like, I get it, Musk is a Nazi shitbag. Not much of a surprise there.
But I’ve seen like 100 posts about the damn salute and like 2 about the flood of EOs that Trump has put out the last two days.
Starting to wonder if the salute was an intentional distraction. Because of course the Internet would be on fire about that.
The distraction is the people saying things like “it was just an awkward gesture”, “it’s just a Roman salute”, “it’s no big deal”, “why are we still talking about this”, etc.
It is absolutely not a distraction to acknowledge and bring attention to the fact that the most powerful nation on the planet is now being run by a fascist Nazi oligarch.
This is a big deal. The executive orders are also big deal, but those don’t diminish this one. If you don’t think there are enough posts about the executive orders, you’re free to create them.
No.
He’s already denying it and sugar coating it, as if it was just an awkward gesture, and so are others.
He is intelligent enough and knew exactly what he was doing.
This shit needs to be hammered home and spit in the face of anyone who apologizes for him.
It was a nazi salute, he knew it and did it on purpose.
I think it’s very important to drive the point home that the masks are falling off
They are neo-nazis, and they stopped being ashamed of it, tell everyone, it’s going to be rough
This dude practiced in front of a mirror.
Someone might, but sure as fuck not twice in a row.
I mean I did once accidentally do one because i was just trying to wave to people sitting on the ground and automatically adjusted my hand angle to be flat towards them and did not realize what I just did until they pointed it out. “Slightly” different context though.
Yeah, I wouldn’t rule out mistakenly doing the salute. But you don’t mistakenly do it twice and then not apologize for doing people considered to be a nazi salute. Even if you do it once and you don’t apologize after being called out you’re a nazi. It’s such a taboo thing that you’d be apologetic or at the very least remorseful or ashamed. Musk is none of those things.
And to anyone defending Musk, if he pulled out his dick and swung it around on stage and then doesn’t show any remorse for showing his dick, would you think it was accidental?
That one was actually trying to be sneaky, kind of. Ah, more innocent times I suppose.
Plausible deniability may be sneaky but certainly isn’t innocent.
