fucking nazi asshole piece of shit
Wait, are we allowed to call them Nazis yet? Or is it still unnecessary vitriol?
Once they start openly heiling, yeah, that’s allowed.
They don't like the socialist part.
Nope. He was just awkwardly swatting at a fly or something.
My grandfather used to kill Nazis. Seems like history is repeating itself.
It used to be okay to kill Nazi's on sight, as they are not only a threat to National Security, but a threat to humane values itself. Our grandfathers watched people die in droves for the chance to kill a Nazi. Now? You'll probably be shot or arrested by police for killing a Nazi.
Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.
Twice.
Yeah, this was the first time I saw it in motion. How anyone could try to spin this as anything else is wild. We're to the part in 1984 where we're told to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears...
The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.
Fuck the ADL
I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way
Ask your friends why they're so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.
Point one finger upwards at their face.
the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they're not bootlickers. they're the sole of the boot itself.
ADL do not care about anti semitism at all. Their only concern is anti zionism.
Even Hilter has his Jewish supporters Verband nationaldeutscher Juden
History doesn't always rhyme sometimes it repeats the exact beats.
Just when I thought the ADL couldn't be anymore useless, here's REAL Anti-Semitism and they're not doing anything about it.
They just figure that this time, Jews will be far down enough on the list of "first they came for..." that MAGA will burn itself out before it gets to them.
I mean, i didn't have Latina's calling it nazi and Jews being like "nuh uh" on my 2025 bingo card
Worse than not doing anything about it, they're excusing it
You guys are lucky to have AOC. I'm a non-American that only knows her from memes and screenshots like this but I'm a fan. Especially compared to all the other dead fish.
If I was her I would be leaving the country tonight
If she isn't the next Dem presidential candidate, then they might as well shut their fucking doors right now.
I honestly fear for her safety.
It wouldn't be a delicate situation if ONE GROUP WASN'T DOING NAZI SHIT
Good for AOC, but I honestly fear for her safety in the coming years. I hope she can stay safe.
Same ADL that says anti-genocide protests are categorically foreign agents funded by Iran and Hamas.
Disappointing that the only funding they gave my local protest was sidewalk chalk and some home printed flyers to tape up.
::: spoiler the ADL
Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-governmental organization based in the USA

... will now be known as the "Advanced Defamations League"
Are their last words going to be "see? You were overreacting." right before someone pushes a button on their gas chamber?
Or have they already booked their tickets to some recently-confiscated house in the West Bank?
Neither. They have money. They will not be subjected to the gas chambers and will live their lives free of consequences.
these gas lights aren't even lit. why are you making such a big deal?
this is obviously sarcasm
How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.
Dork MAGA continues to live up to the name, and it would be funny if people weren't losing their lives over it.
Well, the nazis didn't have their cum-face on while doing it.
To be fair, the SS had drip. Hugo Boss leather trenchcoats... They looked good while being the absolute worst human beings in modern history.
They looked good, they drove great cars, they were just garbage
Until now*
I think it was the biting lips.
The nazi salute is pretty cool, not the meaning though.
Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.
Wait, what?
They do claim that they're nOt lIkE fOx nEwS aNyMoRe, though.
One might be associated to a minor ethnic group looking for representation because they never had anything.
The other is associated to a fascist regime that destroyed the world and killed millions.
No need to hide it anymore, huh?
I think that's why they had it indoors. Remove the opportunity for the people to dissent in the moment.
Probably multiple reasons, but if I had to guess, it was mostly about security for all of the billionaires in attendance.
Exactly this. People still don't seem to grasp it, but they will soon. This is the end game. No need to pretend anymore, they got the thing they've been working towards for decades.
My only hope is that the GOP splinters over this kind of shit and destroys itself. But I'm not holding my breath.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.
Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?
They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.
How can anyone deny it now?
Easy. Bad faith.
I think many of them just won't bother. Why would they need to? They got control, no need to pretend anymore.
It's called post-truth and gaslighting in some developments of the phenomenon. I think this is, among other things, an experiment coming from the Donald administration.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
Yup.
Just like Nazis did. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer, ranking officer at the event, or Nazi flag.
He'll claim that the gesture went along with his words of his heart going out to people.
Press X to doubt.
Fuck Elon Musk. Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going. These fucking fascist need to be fought tooth and nail.
I fear it's not going to stop.
When Trump dies another, less stupid more insidious version will arise.
Oh it’s definitely not going to stop but that’s no reason to not fight now and in the future. Fuck Nazis. Fuck fascists.
There's no guarantee that the next one will be less stupid.
That doesn't mean that the next fascist will have less support. Or do less damage.
Stupid is hard to fight.
I'm going to take extra good care of my health in the hopes that if I outlive him this will be on my bucket list.
Pre-bucket listing, that’s an advanced bucket list strat
Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going.
A lot of people in fascist countries don't get to live long enough to piss on the fascist leader's grave.
Not gonna lie, my eyes bugged out when I saw that. I knew masks were falling off, but this was too on the nose even for my expectations
Same. Already? Couldn't wait a single day?
And there are people desperately trying to say he wasn't doing a nazi salute. I refuse to let someone tell me I'm not seeing what's right in front of my eyes.
Who are you Goin to believe, the mass media or your own lying eyes?!
I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn't him
If he has any sense that overcomes his pride, he should be grateful that someone else is taking some flak for him.
Well, we know he doesn't have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.
Guys you are just too left. Under any other circumstance a nazi salute and flirting with AfD is considered leftist by a comfortable margin.
How is this idiot so fucking dumb.
Dumb people have a lot of undeserved confidence in themselves. Smart people are rarely 100% sure if anything because everything is complicated.
Guy caught a lucky break at the right time and thinks he's king shit on turd Island
how is he that dumb and has that much money
I'll have uhh... A stale meme And projection
My, feeling brave today are we
Yep, Hitler was a communist after all. (/s)
I can't even express in words how fucking stupid and cringe this guy is... That comic is some shit I would have found clever when I was 12 years old and my understanding of politics was 100% shaped by the Fox News that was constantly playing in my house. Imagine being a full-formed adult human, and thinking this was some kind of deep thought.
I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much
Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.
He says he was doing the Roman salute, but that’s exactly where the nazis got it so…
Where does he say it's the Roman salute? That's litterally the exact same thing as the Nazi salute.
Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But...
“This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / ... ]!”
“Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could've been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don't know.”
“It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”
“The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”
“So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah..."
"I'm sorry; we can't hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That's why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance."
"It's legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want."
And on. And if you engage with it, they'll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the "conversation," taking up even more space online.
Truly... They might be past that. Some of them at least. That was all for show so they can get to this point. This is the end game. They got what they wanted and can go mask off. Elon doing the salute is just the first evidence of that. Expect a whole lot more to come.
Im not certain that they still need to gaslight.
It's the bootlicking media doing the gaslighting. They, Musk and his people won't bother anymore.
Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.
This is fuckin wild.
You mean the stage where the scrolling banner read "we are all domestic terrorists?"
God damn, he is such a cringe-inducing edge lord!
He’s definitely on something here other than uncut white nationalism, right?
White Pow(d)er
One doesn't excuse the other.
Oh, if anything it's even more revealing. I've been out of my mind on shrooms and never did any Nazi salutes.
Him and Bezos for sure were on something.
Oh shit - what did Bezos do??
Who cares?
So heil Hitler it is, now?
Granted, I never thought he'd get this far, but I've been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?
On the bright side, if we're remarking on history's propensity for repetition, consider how much the odds have just gone up that Elon's personal timeline now ends doused in gasoline and set alight in a ditch, like a pasty, doughy little pile of garbage.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?
Nope.
I kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.
Was it going to be "Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies." Or "Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported"
Which is going to get the "love" of this administration?
Currently seems to be explaining it away as not a nazi salute, pretty sure the only worse outcome would be yeah it was we don't care. Which is what the actual nazis are going with but not the more mainstream view, yet.
If its going to go that way I hope we can get to the point of the nazis being shot in the head faster than last time.
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did... You deserved it.
Deported? Nazi stuff is Luigi territory.
Moral absolutes are correct in case of Nazis. Death is the only correct moral choice. With enough evidence, sentence should be carried out by anyone able, with enough evidence.
Just keep it tightly regulated, obvz. But Nazis were the real pollutant to the gene pool the whole time.
I still like the idea of using them for science until they die though. Only way to get that human testing done.
We've attained levels of cringe previously thought impossible.
We’re through the cringing glass here, people.
You might even say Kristallnacht.
A guy who grew up under apartheid in SA is racist and a fascist,, who knew??
Our times Henry Ford, I guess
Yeah, X is sort of his Dearborn Independent. Only that never became state-controlled media the way X now has with Musk becoming part of the state.
Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.
Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.
The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It'll help you get through what's coming.
Lack of hope seems to be what depressed the vote turnout in the first place. What a vicious cycle.
At least it's all over the news, seems like literally every news organization is reporting on it, even small ones.
Show everyone what these idiots voted for.
Are fox, newsmaxxx, and oan covering it as much as they should? Or are they mentioning it once at an off time so they can say “see we covered it” and then never mentioning it when people are actually watching?
Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.
That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.
To be clear, I fully agree with this statement.
Buuuuuut....as I'm sure you already know, the entire US space capability was thanks to Nazis who were brought in after the war so that their scientific efforts could be used by "the good guys". They, unsurprisingly, were still Nazis. America has a long history of working with/being run by Nazis, White Supremacists, and just general bigots and racists.
It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
He can't wear his kid as a human shield at all times.
Yeah, that's undeniably obvious what it is
Wait… that really happened? Reality just never stops to surprise me.
Same, reality surprises me all the time, and sadly it never stops to make sure I'm coping ok, just keeps on keeping on.....
So, hands up, how many of you missed the first time we saw this nightmare?
This was one of the most insane scenes in a game I’ve ever seen. I love this game
May I ask what game this is?
Is this real?
More video with him speaking
So what to call him now, Muskler? Muskolini?
Where?
Not that I don't believe you but I just HAVE to see this, this is fucking insane
I don’t know…
…and that says enough already.
Looks like it unfortunately
Is this real?
Must be, I saw it on Facebork.
Wonder what all the people who voted for this are thinking. Wonder if it's any different from what the people who enabled this are thinking.
"Oh cool, we don't have to hide it anymore"
"I guess we're Nazis, too."
If all the useful idiots had the capacity to make this realization, it would have happened already.
Are we the baddies?
Twice.
Thrice.
For once he's doing it wrong, not that it matters, and secondly he looks like he came while doing it.
Forget all that story of different salutes and making fun of elon by saying that he is making the american "nazi salute"
Lets call a spade a spade.
Elon is doing the nazi salute and there is no other way to take it other than being serious.
That fucker must get down from power.
PS: I removed my previous snarky comment about bellamy salute and made this new one because it is a serious business
Are you suggesting that Musk had all of this nuance in mind when he made the gesture?
I see, I'm from Germany so I only really know "our" salute. That's actually quite an interesting article.
So.....when do we send The Bastards?
Jesus fucking christ...
This is ego-boasting, partisan intimidation and humiliation, right?
My instinct to this is to look away, scroll past, because it can't be happening...
Anti-fascism in the US is in no way equipped to politically deal with this.
The strategic alternative doesn't really exist...
bro he was clearly slapping a fly on his chest and then throwing it away and then he turned around and did it again c'mon the radical left will say anyone is a nazi these days
Well there are always lots of flies around shit
I speculated a short while back that with Musk’s true dream of immortality seeming less plausible every year, he has turned his sights on being remembered by history.
I think I was right, and some sort of drug fueled edgelord logic has led him to conclude that fear is strong and universal, and being a cacking villain gets your name to “stick” with people the most.
Or his ridiculous luck has given him the world’s worst case of Main Character syndrome, and the game play that amuses his fried brain involves griefing the NPCs.
Or his ridiculous luck has given him the world’s worst case of Main Character syndrome
This is the answer.
Holy shit that’s some good cringe
A Sieg Sauer could fix that
Rusty spoon would be more satisfying.
Wow. That’s bad.
E: Musk is such an ass that I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest he did it deliberately to troll liberals and press. Not because he holds any actual nazi beliefs (though he absolutely could) but because he just wanted to stir the shit in the news.
Pack it up, boys. This experiment is over.
That was an accident you libtard!! He just did something that really looked like a nazi salute... twice... b-but it wasnt a nazi salute!! y'all be calling anyone a nazi nowadays...
And look!!! kamala also did a nazi salute!!
A-And she definitely wasnt just waving her hand... uhhmm...
/s
Looks like virtue signaling to me, except it's for nazi virtues
Fucking UMMMMM.....
Is he flexing his "shoot someone on 5th Ave" moment?
Now he can use the government to make his financial empire/we-chat clone "x".
Bruh
Guy who grew up in SA during apartheid is a fascist and racist. Who know?
you commented this twice by accident btw
He announced that he's going to the dark side of the moon to meet back with his friends.
Not a Nazi salute.
We all knew what it was but I do have to admit I am actually kind of surprised at how well the timing is. In terms of the pause and intensity its almost identical.
what's the difference between this and a nazi salute?
They are completely indistinguishable to my eye.
"Equating disparate things under the guise of equality is not justice; it is a misrepresentation of truth." - George Orwell
Then please do tell what it was.
I did Nazi a salute at all
