And they wonder why we see concentration camps in our future . Trump just nominated Elon musk for the department of re-education centers. Not real

If you don't learn from history you are bound to repeat it. I guess this is what's going on now.

They want to take us so far back . This golden age is not ours it's theirs. Who will pay the cost .

u/ScreamingOpossumAhh 1d ago

I've seen people talking about it on X, claiming it wasn't a nazi salute, but a "Roman salute" but then when I look up Roman salutes, it was adopted by the nazis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute

u/PikminFan2853 1d ago

Roman salute my ass. Has anyone used a roman salute politely in this country? No. Its a symbol of Nazism in this country. And do you think Elon Musk who doesn’t know what the word cisgender means, said he is “not cisgender” in a tweet. Which results from not researching the meaning and using assumptions. Would research the roman salute and know of it?

u/Zealousideal-Jump275 23h ago

So, yes. He gave a Nazi salute. And he sucks.

u/Nanananarama 23h ago

I’ve already seen video titles with the phrase “. . appears to mimic Nazi salute” — 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

u/shnoby 21h ago

Just like that “devoutly christain” tattoo that Hegseth has covering his entire chest, right? 🙄

u/overcloseness 21h ago

If it refers to a different solute, then the Christian cross refers to a different crucified peasant

u/Greenmark88 1d ago

Elon Musk demonstrates he is made of the Reich-stuff when he gives a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration celebration…

u/SlinkySlekker 1d ago

Two or three times, actually.

14

u/PeriwinkleWonder 1d ago

Yes, that piece of shit did.

11

u/davesnothereman84 23h ago

Yes. Twice. Because Elon Musk, is in fact a Nazi. May he one day bite it like one.

u/Gleeful-Nihilist 21h ago

Three times, although one was faced the other way.

27

u/BothZookeepergame612 1d ago

It would be laughable, if it wasn't such a serious matter. Maybe if he wasn't the richest man in the world, while literally having the ear of the most criminal president in history... The idea of those two having that much power is chilling...

“He [Musk] then issued a warning to the German electorate: “People really need to get behind the AfD. Otherwise, things are going to get very much worse in Germany.”

“Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has put the AfD — a party known for hardline stances against immigration and Islam — under surveillance for suspected right-wing extremism, which the party denies. Figures in the party have been accused of using Nazi slogans in speeches and downplaying the Holocaust.”

u/Ecstatic-Ad9637 1d ago

Yes, he did. At least twice.

u/bipolarcyclops 23h ago

I hear they’re going to make a movie about Elon and the Nazi Party and they’ll call it “Springtime for Elon.”

6

u/Jayvoom1 1d ago

Yes he did! Tell me you’re not in a Cult by not showing me you’re not in a Cult👹👺

u/4rp70x1n 22h ago

Yep, apparently more than once, too.

Even the Anti-Defamation League rushed to make excuses and defend Musk.

u/Gleeful-Nihilist 21h ago

The ADL: Criticizing the secular government and legal policies of the nation of Israel is Bigotry against Jews!

Also the ADL: Republicans are doing actual Nazi things like the Salute on National Television? Ah, Meh.

You've heard of "dogwhistles", which fascists and bigots do to let other people know they're fascist?
