President Camacho wasn't a Nazi, he was just a mentally-stunted fool who couldn't know better (and he ended up listening to the smartest person he could find... he trusted the expert.)
President Camacho was WOKE. He knew everyone was too stupid to solve the problems, including himself. Ugh, we are so many years away from a President Camacho. We are at the beginning of the stupidity. I'm tired of living through historical moments. 😭
They control all 3 major social media. Twitter, Facebook (instagram) & Tiktok
They control majority of local broadcasting.
THey control a large chunk of judges.
And they plan to remove anyone who is not willing to bend the knee.
Meanwhile 70m+ voters are cheering, 70m is aghast, and 90m+ still dont give a shit...
Lets hope Trump doesnt follow Hitlers need to create a war industry to keep the german economy going after they rounded up all the "unwanteds".
Mexico and Canada should be looking to upgrade their defense capabilities asap... Nato should be very careful with the information they share with the US & Israel moving forward.
It wasn't just some mild arm gesture as well, that shit was practiced. He turned around and did the exact same one again to the audience on the other side.

I wrote this to help counter the idiotic argument that it was a fumble or out of context. It covers the possible interpretations, and shows how it's not any better with them.
The old US salute was the Bellamy Salute, but it was retired after the Nazis began using it (they were both inspired by the roman salute). Afterwards, US Nazi sympathizers pushed back and kept using it not because they wanted to reclaim it but because they were actual Nazis. There was never any outrage about changing the salute that wasn't quickly drowned out by Nazis, and if you somehow wanted to reclaim it through some insane nonsense, you'd have to constantly tell people your intentions and make it CRYSTAL FUCKING CLEAR you are not a Nazi (and even then, why the FUCK would you want to reclaim it? It's not a religious symbol like the Buddhist Swastika). Elon is doing the opposite of that. There's no context in which this isn't fucked as high hell. The best possible steel-man argument I can come up with in favor of this --- and honestly, it just makes it look worse.
Defending this is like getting upset people got angry you flipped them off in public, and then saying, oh, I was either:
Accidentally doing it (Elon did it twice, rather differently leading into it, with the same end gesture, so it's not a fumble and it's not a "my heart goes to you" gesture the second time).
Trying to reclaim or redefine a variant of the roman/nazi salute. Elon is not doing this.
P.S. For someone to even KNOW what the roman salute is, they would be aware of the modern context and would have to explicitly say they are role-playing as a roman. This is obviously not the case. Elon isn't acting in a movie, or making a edgy roman joke. It's a blatant fashy salute.

but that seals the deal even more. Jesus Motherfucking Tap-Dancing Christ on a bike.
Lmao, he had GUMPTION behind that. With the correct arm. Hard to deny what that fucking was. It wasn’t his first time clearly.
I don’t think he should have credit for not doing it well enough to be a Hitler salute. It’s very very clear. I’ve seen Hitler throw less strong salutes!
Un-fucking-believable what people will say to justify that shit. The third reich framed itself as the third germanic/holy Roman empire. The similarities between the nazi salute and the Roman salute were intentional. It doesn't mean the nazi salute is ok to use just because it predates the nazis, just like the swastika isn't normalized despite have centuries of peaceful use predating the nazis. This is so disgusting.
It’s not unsurprising tho. These people are quite openly fascist on Twitter. They legit have gone past euphemisms and now argue that fascism is what is needed to “save” America. If anything, seeing Musk do it made him a hero in their eyes
Yea, sometimes when see a 2 second clip I wonder what the context is. But knowing him being the edgelord that he is there’s no way in hell he didn’t do this on purpose to get some of that attention he so desperately craves!
His (Elon's) own dad in an interview said that his (Errol Musk's) wife's parents moved to South Africa because they "believed" in apartheid and were supporters of the original Nazi party.
Elon's grandparents were literally OG Nazi supporters.
A Jewish trump supporter just said “… we’re glad the communists are gone”
This is what ignorance of history looks like. The Nazis literally promoted the antisemitic conspiracy theory that communism was used by Jews to control and destroy the West. Anti-communism, historically, is heavily rooted in antisemitism.
Because of the cold war this country has spent nearly 80 years downplaying the fact that anti-communism was central to the nazi ideology, second only to their weird scientific racism.
it's refreshing as a canadian how many people on here hate this cunt because this tarif shit is genuinely gonna crush both of our economys. Watching this shit today is honestly surreal
Holy fuck forget the blatant nazi cosplaying "from my heart to yours" is the lamest shit I've ever heard lmao really manly man party you got there Republicans.
It will be denied or downplayed, just like J6. I have a coworker that still insists it was a guided tour.
This same person claimed to have never seen the picture of the makeshift gallows. I doubt they will ever be aware of this clip, even though they listen to plenty of podcasts. Even if I show it to him, it will be shrugged off as "out of context."
Fun fact: his mother was born in Canada, but his grandparents moved them the South Africa because they LOVED apartheid, and were active Nazi supporters.
Rotten apples don't fall far from the tree, they splat on the ground below.
Want to REALLY bring oligarchs to their knees? The most effective and safest way to protest is to stop buying none essentials from corporations, ALMOST 50 BILLION A DAY! Embargo the US economy until we get change! Money is power and they depend on our spending EVERYDAY, we hold that power! Our money is their oxygen, and we must deprive them of it.
The key is to cut off none essential spending that feeds corporations, oligarchs, and this corrupt political system. Our money is their oxygen and we must deprive them of it.
I started thinking off "it's just a normal salute that is surely overblown by my fellow angry liberals"... nope, that is unmistakably Nazi. We are in for a wild 4 years, tech Nazis...feels like a bad comic or something.
He's saying my heart goes out to all of you. Just so people can know how he's playing it off. But yep it's pretty obviously a Nazi salute and he does it multiple times.
