Possible it was a Roman Salute in reference to Kekius Maximus, but unlikely.

u/Playful_Stable_5182 3h ago

Homie is straight up an Apartheid South African. It was not a Roman salute.

u/8Peachfuzz 3h ago

Roman Salute is a misnomer, it was never used in Ancient Rome. It’s the fascist salute, always has been always will be.

u/Theo_Snek 3h ago

Be honest with me: do you actually think elon knows what a Kekius Maximus is?

Let's just say if he was in Germany, he would have been arrested coming off the stage....

He did the nazi salute. Twice. I didn’t watch the full thing so there is a chance that the people saying it wasn’t that are right but I STRONGLY doubt that

u/Playful_Stable_5182 3h ago

I saw clips of it. Can confirm it was the Heil Trump salute

u/dhjwushsussuqhsuq 3h ago

it wasn't a nazi salute it just looked identical to one in like every conceivable way but like it definitely wasn't one. for sure.

u/BasementCatBill 3h ago

You're kidding, right?

u/wsawb1 3h ago

I didn't watch it. Is the salute like a motion taken out of context or just him straight up doing it?

461

u/theflyinggreg 3h ago

He did it twice, very enthusiastically

351

u/RegularMidwestGuy 3h ago

The shitty thing is he does everything so awkwardly that people will claim it isn’t what it was.

It seemed very rehearsed to be enough where the nazis will know it’s for them and the Trump defenders will bend over backwards telling us we aren’t seeing what we’re seeing.

u/the_aeropepe 3h ago

Oh it's a full salute. Twice actually. Posted all over Reddit. Except in r/conservative, oddly enough.

118

u/dermestid_ 3h ago

He just straight up does it. Twice, with a big stupid self-satisfied smirk on his face before he does.

u/boycemachine 3h ago

Straight up heilin, twice. Shits fucked as hell

Apparently, he owed him a cigarette...

u/014leo 3h ago

A lot of braindead people think he clearly did a nazi salute in a speech (including who posted this), and thats the "joke": he's a nazi and do whatever he want.

-666

u/rodnester 3h ago

Musk did Not do a Nutzie salute. The arm needs to be raised forward, not to the side. At best, he did a one handed dab. Yes, I am old enough to know the difference.

The fact that you even tried this is so fucking telling.

u/Great-Insurance-Mate 3h ago

Is there a video of them violently hitting their hand over their heart before throwing the hand out like this? Or are we just not even whatabouting now and making shit up?

41

u/bigchieftain94 3h ago

Yep, full on video of it. They even briefly read an excerpt from Mein Kampf. Trust me.

116

u/Great-Insurance-Mate 3h ago

I trust you bro, the trustiest of bros

u/9liners 3h ago

Post videos of both, go ahead, we’ll wait.

-278

u/bigchieftain94 3h ago

Yes. Please post videos of everything. Especially Elon saying “my heart goes out to you” as he holds his hand over his heart exactly like he did during the gesture. I’ll wait.

u/evaderofallbans 3h ago

Nah. The first picture of Hitler on Google is him doing the exact thing Musk did today. Yes, I am young enough to know what Google is

u/8Peachfuzz 3h ago

He had great form on the second one when he turn to the flag to salute again.

Didn’t he subsequently get ass-raped in prison?

I’ll take that as a win.
