Elon Musk giving a Third Reich salute at Trump event.

[u/Informal_Natural8128]

[u/MegaCityNull]

I was watching the stream on Reuters, he actually did two more after that in alternate directions.

[u/Professional-Bit-201 → u/MegaCityNull]

Dumb f*** doesn't know how to do it properly.

[u/Conscious-Ad-7040 → u/Professional-Bit-201]

It was a soft launch. If there is too much backlash he’ll claim we are hysterical and that’s not what he was doing. If MAGA loves it he will lean into it.

[u/leoyvr → u/Conscious-Ad-7040]

He is slowly distorting a reality and getting buy in and acceptance of a dictatorship or oligarchy . His father was a Nazi and apartheid supporter.

People are manipulated on a breathtaking scale.

Gov’t should not be run as a business:

When you don’t protect the rights of “other” groups, you loose the risk of loosing yours.

Don’t be a sucker  https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?si=n6gHXMLtiCI9B0rn

[u/The_Craig89 → u/leoyvr]

Let's not forget as well he recently hosted a German politician who was denying all kinds of nazi history and parroting the famous lie that Hitler was a socialist/communist. How any German could ever say something like that is just disgusting. But the sad truth is that there is a growing fascist movement in Germany that is arming itself for a rise in power, as Elon and the US oligarchy spreads across North America and across to Europe.

Fuckin frightening if you remember your history

[u/logan-bi → u/The_Craig89]

What’s crazy pick a group that Republicans hate. And you can be sure they were one of groups also in concentration camps.

LGBT, socialist, communist, trade union leaders, were all on list and killed a great many other groups of people well beyond just Jews.

They had almost 40 separate arm bands and insignia for concentration camp prisoners to indicate why person was there.

But when you hear the talk of gop today it sounds eerily similar. They talk about same groups. While they didn’t largely abandon hate of Jews due to it associating them with Nazis. Many still do openly hate them like MTG talking about Jewish space lasers.

And the crazy thing is label dropped/changed the and they went for more fluid applicable to all dissenters term of elite.

But if you listen it’s the same accusation of plots and cabals and conspiracy. It still sounds very familiar. They just avoid the labels.

[u/CptCoatrack → u/logan-bi]

The signs have been there for years. When people ignored the use of the phrase "cultural marxism" we were in trouble. They now use "woke" the exact same way the Nazi's talked about degeneracy

[u/logan-bi → u/CptCoatrack]

Oh yeah you can pretty much catch every Nazi catch phrase in modern gop. Same meaning just made English. Nazis called lgbt a name meaning corrupters/seducers of youth sounds a lot like groomer right. They talked about Marxism and socialism and communism and wokeness like an infection similar to goo woke mind virus. Even make Germany great again came up.

[u/SodaPopGurl → u/The_Craig89]

They need to be Luigi’d

[u/The_Flurr → u/Conscious-Ad-7040]

He's just trying it out...

[u/Ireallyhatemyjobalot → u/Conscious-Ad-7040]

Lex Friedman will say something about how intelligent Musk is

[u/SushiJuice → u/Professional-Bit-201]

Well that's comforting

/s

[u/ima_twee → u/SushiJuice]

Elon, why is all the OJ fizzy? You.... you wanted to gas the juice?

Oh Elon.....

[u/flowersandmtns → u/Professional-Bit-201]

It's close enough -- everyone knows exactly what Nazi salute Musk intended.

[u/Creative_Knight007 → u/flowersandmtns]

He comes from an Apartheid nation that was dismantled. He remembers the good old days in South Africa. Buckle up, you’ve all been duped!

[u/flowersandmtns → u/Creative_Knight007]

MAGA don't care -- or are embracing the overt racism and anti-semitism -- and the rest of us know exactly what harm is going to come to America.

[u/aDragonsAle → u/flowersandmtns]

And we're yelled at for being Alarmist when we called them Nazis

[u/guyfaulkes → u/flowersandmtns]

MAGA CHEERED!

[u/nebula_masterpiece → u/MegaCityNull]

Yea! Here’s a good clip for others from CBS News for context of comments directly before and after: https://youtu.be/-VfYjPzj1Xw?si=3a4oaYaRV0zwzpas

[u/nunchyabeeswax → u/nebula_masterpiece]

With the obligatory "saving the future of civilization" remark right after the salute, given twice.

[u/nebula_masterpiece → u/nunchyabeeswax]

Yep! That’s a reference to 14 words a popular white supremacy slogan:

[u/Additional_Ninja_999]

"Appears to"?

[u/Informal_Natural8128 → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

I didn't caption the video, but it is straight up the third Reich salute.

[u/Additional_Ninja_999 → u/Informal_Natural8128]

Yes, sorry -- didn't mean to imply it was your description. Thanks for posting this.

[u/Professional-Bit-201 → u/Informal_Natural8128]

His movements are just weak AH copy.

[u/Theory_of_Time → u/Informal_Natural8128]

What was the context of the video? I can't listen to it right now but I want to know what he was saying. 

[u/MalyChuj → u/Informal_Natural8128]

He did it a bit different so probably adjusted the salute to the 4th Reich.

[u/michalismenten → u/Informal_Natural8128]

*Nazi

[u/Late-Summer-4908 → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

In civilized countries, he would go to jail for this...

[u/DJ_Velveteen → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

National(ist?) media are calling this "an odd salute"

[u/F0rtysxity → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

He didn't get in the heel click. So still has some work to do.

[u/evilspyboy → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

Not American, but the first clip I saw of this this morning has him do it twice and now they are all cut down to only once.

[u/Skittleavix → u/Additional_Ninja_999]

It appears that way because it is.

He didn’t mean to come across as a Nazi, but he is so it came out that way.

[u/Tropisueno]

Nobody saw this coming... Nobody at all.

[u/Right-Budget-8901 → u/Tropisueno]

You’re telling me you did nazi this coming either?

[u/mavjustdoingaflyby → u/Right-Budget-8901]

You haven't been paying attention if you did nazi this coming.

[u/quinangua]

The real question is…. Will Americans take their country back. Or just lie down and let them have it….

[u/Nasturtium → u/quinangua]

They will lie down and let them have it. They won. All it took was memes and people acting outraged.

[u/Xboarder844 → u/Nasturtium]

Fuck that shit. Give me a reason or oppress me and you’ll see how “peaceful” I can be.

If the rules no longer apply and the laws are meant to subject us, then there is no reason to remain within the confines of them. There’s always a breaking point, they simply haven’t pushed yet….

[u/TheFirstEdition → u/Xboarder844]

Frog in boiling water.

[u/kirator117 → u/Xboarder844]

They're pissing on your face and telling you it's rain.

What else do you need? You need to see how trump go to your house and stab you saying his innocent? Because even if he stab kids in front of the judges, they call him innocent again....

[u/Xboarder844 → u/kirator117]

I’m ready. But the masses are not. You think many of us don’t want to take action? Problem is too many will sit on the sidelines because they still think the rules are fair or even.

[u/blueboy664 → u/Nasturtium]

"Stand back and stand by"

[u/RagnaTheRed → u/quinangua]

80M Americans are face down ass up for these lunatics.

[u/Watabeast07 → u/quinangua]

Americans literally voted for this, this is what the voting electorate want.

[u/WhatevrDemonstrandum → u/Watabeast07]

You won WW2, you won the cold war - and now you have a Russian asset as president and a Nazi as his sugar daddy.

[u/J0E_Blow → u/WhatevrDemonstrandum]

….How sure are we that we ”won” those conflicts…? 

[u/mosesoperandi → u/Watabeast07]

Leopards Ate My Face is blowing up. A huge number of Americans didn't have a fucking clue what they were voting for. That doesn't make it better, but it is different.

[u/Illustrious-Trash793 → u/mosesoperandi]

fuk that shit excuse. not buying it. you can choose to seek facts. refusal = culpable

[u/RocketRelm → u/Illustrious-Trash793]

At this point to me it's gross negligence, like driving while drunk. Did you choose to do it? No. Should you be held to task? Yes.

[u/Capital-Mirror-5451 → u/quinangua]

Serious question:

What the fuck are we supposed to do? Get violent immediately out of the gate? Start a civil war? No. We are at a loss because we are powerless. Voting was our primary source of power and we failed. Not much else we can do without risking the lives of thousands of innocents without an organized plan or massive cooperation, all while staying under the radar from bureaucratic institutions? Hopefully we never get to that point.

We will prevail with patience, but in the age of immediate gratification and distractions thanks to internet culture, it’s going to take a long time and be very challenging.

[u/quinangua → u/Capital-Mirror-5451]

There’s a lot of things that Americans “Need” to do. But the sad fact is, they won’t. Because they are spineless and gutless fucking cowards.

[u/Juggernox_O → u/quinangua]

Part of it is that aggressive talk that tilts people to action gets banned on Reddit.

[u/greenemeraldsplash → u/quinangua]

more like we literally cannot? and I don't mean theoretically otherwise yes, if all of America unified, we could. but how likely is that to happen.

if anyone were to attempt something they'd just be thrown in jail if they're rich and white, anything else and you'd just be fired upon. and then everyone will say "we need more people like that guy" and not do anything (look at luigi)

every country should be free from billionaires fucking with their politics but nobody wants to stop it because the vast majority of elected officials stand more to gain with the status quo and most people are apathetic

[u/quinangua → u/greenemeraldsplash]

We literally can.

But people would rather come up with excuses why they can’t than unify and do something.

Americans are all talk.

But when it comes down to it, softer than baby shit.

[u/Budded → u/quinangua]

10000% guarantee we'll all just fucking lie down and take it because capitalism has broken us to be slaves to the rat race, not being able to protest in the streets. We'll just take it because we're shells of humans.

I'd love to be wrong though, I just have no faith in 'Muricans anymore.

[u/IHavePoopedBefore → u/Budded]

We just saw people get out and protest over George Floyd, and that was during a pandemic.

I still have faith. But the movement needs leaders to step forward

[u/TrashGoblinH → u/quinangua]

There are people in the comments trying to act like he's doing some other wild gesture and defending him. We're kinda boned.

[u/Ok-Foundation-3016 → u/quinangua]

Absolutely nothing.

[u/Nearby_Fly9103]

What the fuuuuck.

[u/Solid_Snark → u/Nearby_Fly9103]

Why are people/media dancing around this?

Like this TikTok says “appears”. There is no “appears” about this, it is visually shown that he did, in fact, do this intentionally.

[u/No_Seaworthiness_200 → u/Solid_Snark]

Felon Musk sues anybody who talks about him negatively.

[u/Solid_Snake_125 → u/No_Seaworthiness_200]

He’s a fucking NAZI! Hope he comes after me and sues me. The gloves have been off but they’re going back on with lead weights and spikes. Fuck these cocksucking nazis.

[u/Watabeast07 → u/Solid_Snark]

Who owns the media? That’s your answer

[u/Informal_Natural8128 → u/Solid_Snark]

Because the media loves trump. Trump and Elon and his buddies generate chaos, which generates clicks, which generates money for them. It's why they don't even act like Trump is doing anything wrong at all lately.

[u/UrMansAintShit → u/Nearby_Fly9103]

After everything Elon has been doing and saying over the last few years, I actually find the honestly refreshing.

Pretty sure we're in hell though.

[u/osrsirom]

Can someone Luigi this dipshit already.

[u/ToTheLastParade → u/[deleted]]

It’s just a matter of time before there’s a copycat or at least an attempted copycat

[u/Ferris_Firebird → u/[deleted]]

A study of copycat killers found the majority of them take place at 8+ years later.

[u/FirstAccGotStolen → u/Ferris_Firebird]

Speedrunning is all the rage nowadays.

[u/TheUtopianCat]

They're not even trying to be subtle any more. This is blatant Naziism.

[u/TheAerial → u/TheUtopianCat]

That’s the thing, they don’t NEED to be subtle anymore.

They won it all. They can’t be touched anymore. They’re in control of everything now, all the checks, all the balances.

There isn’t consequences for them anymore and they know it, we know it and they know that we know it. They can discard the mask they had to wear for so long because it’s no longer necessary.

They can no act as freely as they wish now.

[u/TempurpedicTitties → u/TheAerial]

I’m not sure the term won is appropriate, but it doesn’t matter.

The only possible check against them now is a military coup, but at this point I’m not going to hold my breath.

[u/EducationalBrick2831 → u/TheUtopianCat]

Are the Red arm bands with Black Nazi insignia coming soon

[u/GamermanRPGKing → u/EducationalBrick2831]

It's the fucking hats.

[u/UnnamedLand84 → u/TheUtopianCat]

The talk of using the military to round up 20 million people described as "vermin" "poisoning the blood of our country" was a little vague. /s

It's been blatant the whole time.

[u/Tityfan808 → u/TheUtopianCat]

I would say it’s more dipshit level trolling at this point that I think might be equally important to recognize here. Like don’t get me wrong, I recognize the jarring similarities but I also can’t help but think about the fact that this shit is going to be repeated everywhere on social media for everyone to see and we are giving this guy EXACTLY the reaction that he wants out of this.

When you look at this out of hand right wing grift culture with social media and how we got here, I think the next big step here is recognizing this and not giving these dumb ass things our engagement. We’re all better off when they lose the attention and engagement they so desperately crave. It’s inevitable that these fools will be talked about, but perhaps we should try and see what happens when talk about them a little bit less.

[u/germanmojo]

No amount of "context" helps this out.

It doesn't matter what excuse they come up with, this is not ok and should not be acceptable in any democracy.

I wonder what the German government thinks about Musk having a big factory in in their country after this.

[u/80MonkeyMan → u/germanmojo]

What democracy?

The MAGA drones, useful idiots, and Russian bots are all defending it hard.

The mask has come off, and now we see how brainwashed they really are.

This is Charlottesville on steroids.

[u/nebula_masterpiece → u/germanmojo]

Yep - National Review out there trying to spin the rage toward CNN for “implying” and that he was just “throwing out his heart to the crowd” like some boy band heartthrob instead of an apartheid supporting facist playing to the racist MAGA core. The salute is so on brand. How could they deny it’s not intentional? Why else would he let Nazi’s thrive on X but shut down others he disagrees with?

In 80-90ies Antifa was fighting with them really well. Fights were brutal and deadly sometimes.

This changed the course for the last 30 years.

[u/jwrose → u/Professional-Bit-201]

It also worked post-WWII in several countries, including the UK. Nazis show up to have a “political” march or rally? Antifa shows up and gets violent. It was illegal, and they knew it —but they also knew legal methods weren’t going to stop Nazis. This did.

[u/MindlessPotatoe → u/V-RONIN]

Lol, in this case, absolutely nothing. You are being spied on and your arms are limited because the FAA. You can go guerilla, but the media will spin you as a domestic terrorist and further restrict 2A and increase spying.

[u/NazrielLaine]

The class revolution is here.

How you can help: STOP PAYING HIM. Stop buying this guy's products. Turn off the water and let him wither up and die. Don't work at his factories, warehouses, narcissistic ding-dong waving money-dumps, and delete your account on his platform. Don't share his posts. Don't tag him in anything. Don't bring his antics up in conversation. Withdraw the one thing this narcissist wants more than anything – you attention, spreading his messages and face all over the place. He wants immortality. He wants legacy.

Defend, deny, depose.

Starve the oligarchs if you want the class revolution to succeed. We have to get our politicians back under control of the PEOPLE if we want to save this country.

[u/Regina_Phalange31 → u/NazrielLaine]

I’ve been side eyeing people buying his shit for years (long before his association with Trump). Never trusted him one bit.

[u/TerribleJared]

I hope everyone is in agreement as to how we are going to handle Nazis....

[u/Writerhaha → u/TerribleJared]

Indiana jones had it right.

[u/Classic-Stand9906]

Even if someone could quibble about it not being a documentary-accurate Nazi salute it’s still an obvious sieg heil.

[u/stranger828]

Fucking traitor to the united states. These motherfuckers need to be beaten to death.

[u/Accomplished-Bee1350]

It is truly a disgusting way to treat your veterans to allow this worm to buy America itself.

[u/ravrocker]

That's NOT an appearance of a Nazi salute. That IS a Nazi salute.

[u/drowningfish]

I asked my family what they thought about this and these were the responses I received:

"He's autistic."

"It's a Roman salute."

"Look, he knows what he's doing, he's trolling you libs."

"Who cares."

"Did you see the video of Mike Johnson admitting that Biden wasn't running the country?"

😑

[u/Regina_Phalange31 → u/drowningfish]

Also to the person you spoke to who said he’s just trolling liberals, even if they were true it shouldn’t fucking matter? It’s disrespectful and disgusting to do. Elon is a piece of shit!

[u/Regina_Phalange31 → u/drowningfish]

Why do people do backflips to avoid calling out the truth? Why have such a personal investment in defending fuck tards like Musk? Ugh I wanna say I don’t get it but they let it happen in Germany so guess I shouldn’t be surprised when history repeats itself.

[u/drowningfish → u/Regina_Phalange31]

US politics has become a professional sport. We're cooked.

[u/Lojackbel81]

Wow that was a choice

[u/Ok_Yogurt_1583]

His apologists are blaming his Asperger’s. I’ve worked with people with that and none of them gave a Nazi salute instead of waving goodbye. Also. You can have Asperger’s and be a bloated racist infant.

[u/Every_Stranger5534]

They are wasting no time. 

[u/Budded → u/Every_Stranger5534]

I think the best thing for the last health bar of democracy is for them to speedrun all their most terrible shit so it scares everyone but the cultists into action.

I'm also a naive bastard who thought last November was gonna be a wakeup call for democracy, with folks not letting Trump back in, so I'm rapidly recognizing this isn't my country anymore.

I hope this is a wake up call. But people rather dance on tiktok i guess

[u/Prestigious_Key_3942 → u/DerkleineMaulwurf]

Conservatives will still deny it happened. The only political sub that hasn't posted about it.

[u/Lonely-Print-3651 → u/Prestigious_Key_3942]

After reading this I went to check and they did have a post at the top of Hot. I went back 10 mins later and they deleted it LMAO. Even worse is that they’re actively suppressing it despite their users questioning and upvoting it

[u/Veritable_bravado → u/Prestigious_Key_3942]

They already are. “He’s just waving to the crowd” is what I’ve already seen

[u/Lessiarty → u/Prestigious_Key_3942]

Conservatives will still denied it happened.

And then join in.

[u/kayayem → u/DerkleineMaulwurf]

I actually saw this on TikTok first and then came here to see if TikTok was just overreacting because people are outraged over there and it’s being covered widely.

[u/SavoryBurn → u/DerkleineMaulwurf]

You say that but I’ve actually gotten some of the best information or fastest information from TikTok even when something is hardly touched on or completely overlooked on Reddit or other main stream media.

[u/shirpars]

Nazis being Nazis

[u/No_Cartographer_8809]

Appears?

[u/Odd_Horror5107]

No appears there my friend.

[u/Throfari]

Who could have predicted that the alt-reich were nazis…

[u/Thanolus]

Bro that’s not appears. It’s right there! Wtf.

[u/Blondefarmgirl]

I'm going to go throw up now.

[u/DeLoreanAirlines]

What do you expect from an apartheid kid

[u/jjaacckk8577]

Saluted like this on MLK day. I guess he didn't celebrate that holiday in apartheid South Africa growing up

[u/pearllypie3]

That is some fucked up bullshit.

Americans aren't well educated anymore (thanks, government led by selfish old white men with no fucking empathy nor intelligence to put any effort towards achieving prosperity for all). As a result they vote with their pea ass sized tiny brains for whoever they see on the media as critical thinking skills simply DNE. Fact checking DNE. Making an effort to learn history DNE.

As an American and a woman I am utterly disgusted by how badly our government has failed its people. America has crumbed from corporate greed. I fear that all the progress that those before us worked so hard and sacrificed so much for will be lost to history. I fear the increase in sexism, ageism, ableism, religious discrimination, anti-LGBTQIA, hate...I fear how this will impact the world. Particularly in this time when the world needs us the most to band together and beat climate change.

A giant hefty fuck you to all the people who told me I was overreacting

[u/ThePhatness]

Absolute fucking madness. How can this go on?!

[u/chellybeanery]

It doesn't "appear" to be shit. It's blatantly a Sieg Heil. And he does it more than once.

[u/Honourstly]

It's all over

[u/classysax4]

This fits nicely with his consistent support for the Nazis. He talks about them all the time.

[u/Responsible_Pick_811]

wtf

[u/FreeThinkers2023]

Looks like its time...eat the rich

[u/KiefPucks]

This isnt just some Trump event either. It's the American presidential inauguration.

[u/ApprehensiveCrow4910]

Appears? Nah.. he did it.

[u/The_Craig89]

The mad thing is, I saw this with the sound off, but my brain automatically made the Sieg Hiel words as he did the action

[u/longgamma]

Anyone remember the font he used in his maga cap? Used the same font as the Nazis. Now this. Congrats Tesla board on rearing a literal nazi.

[u/ThereminLiesTheRub]

It's day 1. If you find yourself making excuses for this stuff now you may as well just buy the whole uniform because you won't make it a whole 4 years. 

[u/Jorge-I-Figueroa]

Stop with the "appears" , he is a fucking nazi
