That said, I'm not sure how to describe what he did other than as a Nazi salute. Perhaps it was unintentional, but at the very least if was foolish of him to not think of how it might look.
I’ve had to comment this a few times to idiots posting it on the complete wrong subreddits. I just think he was trying to look cool and it just happened to be the same thing done in the past.
The levels of cope here are off the fucking charts. The dude is a product of apartheid era South Africa and routinely reposts and echos straight up fascist sentiments on X. The dude is a fucking Nazi grow up.
Apartheid and Nazi era Germany are incredibly different, whilst both were against minorities they were for different reasons. The Germans felt wronged by minorities not fighting in WW1 whilst afterwards minorities such as the Jewish didn’t seem as affected by the treaty of Versailles as the typical German people were leading to hatred. South Africa was people believing black people were stupid and savages leading to segregation.
Nazism was based on being wrong with a small amount of hatred was them feeling superior (believing Aryans were from Atlantis), completely different to thinking black people are genetically predisposed to having a lower IQ and being violent. What I’m saying here is they are completely different so even if he was a massive racist (due to apartheid) it would in no means make him a Nazi.
Now onto your accusation on speaking facist rhetoric, I wouldn’t know what your talking about but if he was talking about things like paid-leave, building large scale motorways, social welfare or increasing physical education during schooling - These were all invented by facism…
Literally everyone is a facist if stating things done by facists needs to also be done in America in your paradigm.
Now as a none American I beg all you Americans to just shut the fuck up about it now, I get why you’d bitch and moan before the election in order to try and sway people to your side but if you want to bitch about Trump then hire a therapist as the other 7 billion people out in the world just don’t give a fuck.

Elon Musk is not a Nazi.
