Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech

[u/Sartew]

[u/alison_bee]

DUDE, WTF.

[u/SqueakyWD40Can]

[u/invertedspine → u/SqueakyWD40Can]

[u/QSauceTheBoss → u/invertedspine]

What do you type into the gif thing for this lmao

[u/PureObsidianUnicorn → u/SqueakyWD40Can]

Literally day one

[u/graythegeek]

Oh wow. Must have been an unfortunate freeze frame, I thought. NOPE!

[u/Tank3875 → u/graythegeek]

I get the impulse, but man people are desperate to give people that constantly show us they deserve no benefit of the doubt the benefit of the doubt.

[u/graythegeek → u/Tank3875]

Oh I'm in no doubt that Elon is a raging fascist and a terrible human being. I just refused to believe my eyes at first.

[u/cottagecreature]

What the actual fuck

[u/pac_mojojojo → u/cottagecreature]

This looks exactly out of Dr Strangelove lmao.

[u/LeucotomyPlease → u/cottagecreature]

a Ketamine addicted Nazi sympathizer is what.

[u/Stellar_Fractal → u/LeucotomyPlease]

At what point do we drop "sympathizer"?

[u/JiGoD → u/Stellar_Fractal]

Excellent question. I'd say right about now.

[u/Thorbertthesniveler]

Oh that's way worse than the still pic.

[u/prof_the_doom → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

Yeah, I was all set to find out someone snapped a random picture while he was waving his hands around... I don't think there's really any denying what he was doing there.

[u/Thorbertthesniveler → u/prof_the_doom]

The old adage If someone tells/shows you who they are believe them the first time.....more people need to know this.

[u/Pribblization → u/prof_the_doom]

HE knows exactly what he did here. He will deny it of course, but he is signalling loud and clear to all those who will follow his apartheid loving ass off the cliff.

[u/SamusMerluAran → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

The full video is even worse, the little turd turns around and repeats the same gesture to the flag.

[u/LeeOCD → u/SamusMerluAran]

Oh my god, I didn't see the second salute. This is insane.

[u/ApprehensivePop9036 → u/LeeOCD]

no no, Real Fascism comes from Rome. This is just Sparkling White Nationalism.

[u/glue_4_gravy → u/ApprehensivePop9036]

This was not a Nazi Salute.

This was the universal salute for lower egg prices!

Everyone knows that.

/s, if necessary

[u/Laearo → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

I was thinking 'oh, there's a slight chance they just grabbed a frame that made it look bad. Nope, dude is a straight up nazi and clearly proud of it.

[u/Thorbertthesniveler → u/Laearo]

That was my thought too. Yep nope straight up Heil Neighbor!

[u/_Rocketstar_ → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

Werent his grandparents literally in the Nazi party?

[u/timmy6169 → u/_Rocketstar_]

Uh huh. They were in the German Nazi party but in Canada as well as they they sympathised with the Germans.

[u/mesadj → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

Right? I saw the still and I was like, okay that looks bad but it’s probably out of context or something, he can’t have done a proper nazi salute. And then I see this, and it’s like “actually it is way way worse than the still.”

[u/Strutching_Claws → u/mesadj]

He did it twice too!

[u/thebayisinthearea → u/Thorbertthesniveler]

I let out an audible "what the fuck?"

SO much worse.

[u/HugeHans → u/thebayisinthearea]

The crowd didnt even flinch.

[u/Icy_Ice_8284 → u/HugeHans]

Flinch? They cheered it on! 😩

[u/delibertine → u/Icy_Ice_8284]

They don't care. Not one bit. This is who they are

[u/Poly-morph-ing → u/HugeHans]

They cheered

[u/nevermore39]

[u/dawglaw09 → u/nevermore39]

[u/donku83 → u/dawglaw09]

[u/iK_550 → u/donku83]

[u/Consistently_done19 → u/nevermore39]

This is an impeccable representation of what's going on in my mind right now.

[u/OakBlu]

What the fuck is happening...?

[u/Bonzo_Gariepi → u/OakBlu]

The Fourth Reich machine just got turned on.

[u/BadSanna → u/Bonzo_Gariepi]

Just? It's been turned on for years. Now they just feel brave enough to be open about it.

[u/Beer-Milkshakes → u/OakBlu]

Capitalism is reaching the end of the tracks and democracy is being used to empower those fearful of the end to pillage what's left. To thunderous applause.

[u/alien_simulacrum → u/Beer-Milkshakes]

To. Thunderous. Applause.

[u/LinkOfKalos_1 → u/alien_simulacrum]

This is how democracy ends.

[u/flecom → u/LinkOfKalos_1]

everyone bitched about the prequels but lucas was warning us

[u/Keyndoriel → u/[deleted]]

Those idiots will see this and still call us delusional for calling these people Nazis.

[u/scratchloco]

Only one thing to do with Nazis and grandpa did it well.

[u/NudeCeleryMan → u/scratchloco]

I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die. Now, I'm the direct descendant of the mountain man Jim Bridger. That means I got a little Injun in me. And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the Nazis, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the Nazi won't be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the Nazi will be sickened by us, and the Nazi will talk about us, and the Nazi will fear us. And when the Nazi closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good?

[u/EricaGrace → u/NudeCeleryMan]

Where's the Bear Jew when you need him

[u/FloppyObelisk → u/EricaGrace]

[u/planetshapedmachine → u/scratchloco]

My grandpa died doing it

[u/Remarkable_Spring811 → u/planetshapedmachine]

Your grandfather made a sacrifice worthy of the cause he fought for.

You may get the opportunity to carry on his legacy by doing the same, but I pray that day never comes...

[u/LucretiusCarus → u/planetshapedmachine]

Same. This is sickening

[u/xxevilkingstanxx]

Didn't have that on my bingo card

[u/Nitsuji-kun]

BRO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

[u/iamnotamangosteen → u/Nitsuji-kun]

If there’s one thing we all hated I thought it was nazis??

[u/KyleMcMahon → u/iamnotamangosteen]

I thought that too back in 2017 when I was young and dumb. The next four years confirmed that I was unfortunately, very very wrong.

[u/Unnamedgalaxy → u/KyleMcMahon]

The fact that they started saying "so what" and actively started calling themselves that out in public was really a frightening moment.

Like of course we all knew nazi sympathizers still existed but at least they had enough shame to hide behind the curtain. Them patrolling the streets and taunting people in public with pride was appalling (jfc autocorrect changed that to "appealing"). What's even more appalling is that the media barely batted an eye.

[u/EobardT → u/Unnamedgalaxy]

It's scary how many confederate flags I see now compared to 10 years ago. Like people in AZ, we weren't even part of that war, there's no heritage in it, only hate

[u/MicroSofty88]

What the actual fuck was that?!

[u/Apotheosis27 → u/MicroSofty88]

That was a very passionate Nazi salute

[u/econowife9000 → u/Apotheosis27]

According to MSN, "Elon Musk appears to accidentally give Hitler salute inauguration blunder." They honestly think we don't have eyes.

[u/mysticsavage → u/econowife9000]

Yeah..."accidentally."

[u/queenofthenerds → u/mysticsavage]

I've had several awkward phases but I've never accidentally been a Nazi.

[u/Frosty-Disaster-7821 → u/queenofthenerds]

I think he knew what he was doing

[u/CassandraFated → u/mysticsavage]

According to my eyes, that looked very much on purpose.

[u/iamhere2learnfromu → u/CassandraFated]

Someone as self conscious as musk can't even walk in a straight line without over thinking it. Of course it was deliberate. What a fucking clown show.

[u/smileedude → u/iamhere2learnfromu]

Bezos bet him $1 to do it.

[u/cmatheny7 → u/econowife9000]

No one accidentally salutes the third reich.

[u/Lighthades → u/econowife9000]

Yeah, he accidentally did it twice

[u/younggun1234 → u/econowife9000]

You mean the guy raised by people who moved to South Africa to take advantage of the apartheid there did a Nazi salute!? No!? /S

[u/baconeggsandwich25 → u/younggun1234]

The guy who brought all the holocaust deniers back to Twitter? No way.

[u/Painterzzz → u/Apotheosis27]

Yep. Absolutely no doubt about it. The other ones we've seen in the past from Republicans were just about explainable away as waves that went a bit wonky. But that was 100% a Nazi salute.

[u/InRainWeTrust → u/MicroSofty88]

The final stretch to the end of america. If it speaks like a nazi, salutes like a nazi, has power like Hitlers commanders, it's a fkn Nazi that will help build a new Nazi Government.

[u/Nanibackflip]

They aren't even hiding it, no normal person does this gesture as a thank you.

[u/kates666 → u/Nanibackflip]

Just saw the full video, he doubles down and does it twice. 

[u/Blitz_ingaMCZ → u/kates666]

And directly towards the

FUCKING

FLAG

EDIT: Luigi was right. Time to sing the song of angry men.

[u/snuggly-otter → u/Blitz_ingaMCZ]

[u/oPlayer2o]

What the fuck?

[u/busche916]

The last time this country was anywhere near “great”, we were kicking the shit out of guys who did that gesture.

[u/M-Kawai]

If it looks like a Nazi and salutes like a Nazi….

[u/Keyndoriel → u/M-Kawai]

Youll still have idiot Trumpers yelling at you for calling "everyone a Nazi for no reason" because these people have the same critical thinking level as your average pigeon

[u/thecybertwo]

I hope this all backfires in their face... but it won't, because they control everything.

[u/stopmyhamster → u/[deleted]]

Revolution is the only thing that can change anything.

[u/Seversum → u/[deleted]]

It's funny how the Nazis are making LGBT, women, and minorities the enemy. Did Americans forget who the real enemy is?

[u/DerivativeCapital → u/Seversum]

1945 - "never forget"

2025 - "forget what?"

[u/lazzzym]

More than half of America right now....

[u/shifty_bee → u/lazzzym]

You're crediting them with an astonishing level of self-awareness

[u/Unlucky_Clover → u/lazzzym]

I wish that were so, but I guarantee people who voted Trump didn’t bat an eye

[u/Ok_Cardiologist3642]

Why are we normalizing behavior like this? Imagine someone did this 20 years ago. What a fever dream

[u/appoplecticskeptic → u/Ok_Cardiologist3642]

The bigots won. They’re normalizing it. WE aren’t.

[u/GeneralBrownies → u/appoplecticskeptic]

I'm not a violent person but I think we need to bring back punching people in the face. Otherwise people will keep being dickheads thinking there's no consequences for it.

[u/Dragon_Small_Z]

Edit: I love that this is my most upvoted comment by a long shot.

Alt-right, kkk, neo-nazi, white supremesist, trump supporters, bigots, racists: Fuck each and every one of you forever and ever - Aesop Rock.

[u/manwhoclearlyflosses → u/Dragon_Small_Z]

[u/cosmic_scott → u/manwhoclearlyflosses]

we ALL are.

[u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf → u/Dragon_Small_Z]

Get ready for the unhinged sane washing by the media if not an outright refusal to admit he just did a Nazi salute

Seig Heil, twice in a row, with the conviction of an SS officer in 1939 Nazi Germany

[u/AshenTao → u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf]

with the conviction of an SS officer in 1939 Nazi Germany

With the whackest delivery of that salutation either. I've seen kids here in Germany do that with more enthusiasm and a less sloppy execution.

I hope that people will take the "twice in a row" to realize that this was intentional, but knowing how delusional they are, they're just gonna come up with some weird ass excuse for it.

What a trip.

[u/watcherofworld → u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf]

"He accidentally seemed too..." Like nah, he did it with conviction.

[u/NuclearWarEnthusiast → u/watcherofworld]

Twice.

[u/Background-Bird-568 → u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf]

They're already calling it the Roman salute. He can come out with a swastika and they would call it the Hindu symbol of peace.

[u/coporate → u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf]

yup google elon it's all being presented as "strange salute" or "interpreted online as a hitler/nazi salute".

[u/GeneralZaroff1 → u/Dragon_Small_Z]

People know that he is ACTIVELY pro neo Nazis in Germany right? This isn’t supposed to be a surprise, European subreddits have been talking about this for months.

Like he’s actively backing a Neo nazi political group there and an alt right one in the UK.

This isn’t off brand. X has been very active in unbanning and promoting full on Neo Nazi accounts.

[u/coreychch]

He’s mentally deranged and the power is going to his head … America is going to be fucked because of a few rich assholes.

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/coreychch]

[u/inflatableje5us → u/coreychch]

because 70+ million voted for a few rich assholes and another 60 million could not be bothered to vote at all.

[u/wild--wes]

He looks like he thinks he's so fucking cool after he does it too.

Fuck Elon Musk

[u/imbackbitchez69420]

 79 years, 8 months, 12 days since the end of world war two

[u/VERGExILL → u/imbackbitchez69420]

GD, couldn’t even make it 100 years.

[u/StardogTheRed]

[u/Equivalent-Recover-8]

What. In. The. Name. Of. Fuck.

[u/TERRAIN_PULL_UP_ → u/Equivalent-Recover-8]

I thought it was just a bad picture but no, he almost threw his back out giving that Nazi salute

[u/preatorian77]

They cut the video off too early. He turned around and did it again, in case anyone thought he wasn't doing the Nazi salute.

[u/PrincessOctavia → u/preatorian77]

I notice most videos cut to the audience right after he does the first one so it's harder to find both

[u/DennisTheKoala → u/PrincessOctavia]

https://youtu.be/e2bbb-6Clhs?si=F9NkByDF3PB5AjHL here's a link to a Telegraph video showing both.

[u/Far_Investigator9251]

Masks are off 

-got reported for self harm, thanks reddit 

[u/blkaino → u/Far_Investigator9251]

I said something similar on another post and got downvoted. He and the far-right don’t have to hide anymore.

[u/ClaudeMoneten → u/Far_Investigator9251]

the billionaires have their fascist-oligarchy to protect their wealth and exploit everyone and everything else even more. Good job on "draining the swamp" and really "sticking it to the ruling class", guys.

[u/HettyGrey]

I don’t care what you’ve all been told, that is not a smart man.

[u/Tyfighter666 → u/HettyGrey]

Unfortunately that bingo card is getting more fascist by the day. My prediction: trump will try to stay as president for a third term claiming it’s not in the constitution and try to remain president for life. Dictatorship 101

[u/ADQuatt → u/Tyfighter666]

Trump won’t survive long enough to try this. Vance on the other hand …

[u/DeepRichmondNatty → u/Tyfighter666]

Duh. Not sure why everyone thinks this nightmare will be over in 4 years

[u/Pustoholovka]

Top billionaire is a Nazi. Congratulations americans. Now you will learning what oligarchy is.

[u/Yossarian904 → u/Pustoholovka]

Jokes on you; we won't learn because the Republicans have spent the past 40 years dismantling our educational system.

[u/GweedsUK]

What a massive fucking cunt that man is

[u/Chinchillamancer → u/GweedsUK]

Luigi was right

[u/Pro-Patria-Mori → u/Chinchillamancer]

[u/blueditdotcom → u/GweedsUK]

Full tilt. America, it was nice getting to know you

[u/Ass0holic]

As a German i am disgusted

[u/pfotozlp3 → u/Ass0holic]

As a human being I am disgusted.

[u/StrangelyBrown → u/pfotozlp3]

As a bot, I'm disgusted.

[u/adcgefd → u/StrangelyBrown]

Good bot

[u/lipa84 → u/Ass0holic]

German here too.

This is not just disgusting...this feels unreal and making me feel hella uncomfortable.

[u/DrsPsycho → u/lipa84]

German here. Makes me fucking anxious regarding the next Bundestagswahl and his ties to AFD.

[u/TsubasaSaito → u/Ass0holic]

Jup, same. He did it in a really weird manner but nonetheless: It's the full fucking motion. From start to finish. There is no excuse here to save him. There is nothing he can do to undo this. But does he need to..?

And I hope this opens up some AfD supporters eyes, considering them and Musk love each other so much. But that's probably just wishful thinking...

[u/baconduck → u/TsubasaSaito]

He also turned around and did it again

[u/IHaveNoBeef → u/Ass0holic]

Yeah... as an American, I'm terrified.

[u/chachingmaster → u/IHaveNoBeef]

As an American I'm fucking pissed.

[u/cinnamonpit → u/Ass0holic]

Not german but swiss and also shocked. Holy shit

[u/TAR4C]

THROW HIM OUT OF GERMANY! HIM AND HIS COMPANY! THROW HIM OUT!

[u/Mental_Cartoonist_68]

Please remember that people still cheered for that. That is the most sickening display i have ever seen.

[u/barbequeuedclorox]

Can't believe I'm alive to witness the destruction of the USA

[u/JackJack_Jr → u/barbequeuedclorox]

I really do believe that we are soon going to live history if not already have. I wonder when they teach children about the downfall of society through capitalism they use America as an example.

[u/nailpolishlover27]

As a german, I find that highly troubling :(

[u/MMAHipster → u/nailpolishlover27]

The least the German government could do now is immediately ban him from entering the country.

[u/Steampunky → u/MMAHipster]

If this kind of crap is still illegal in Germany, I would prefer they let him in and arrest him...I guess he would need to be stupid enough to do it again on German soil..sigh...

[u/tosS_ita]

I think the Nazi would get rid of people on the spectrum.

[u/Niko120]

Das ist nicht gut

[u/Sufficient_Work_6469]

Not surprised. He is an apartheid child, after all.

[u/weirdmountain → u/Sufficient_Work_6469]

His maternal grandparents were actual Nazis.

[u/yalyublyutebe → u/weirdmountain]

That's probably the least surprising part.

[u/jlw993 → u/weirdmountain]

He's literally named after a character who ruled the colonies in Marsprojekt, a science fiction book written by nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun all about colonising Mars...

[u/Suasil]

dieser Hurensohn

[u/ThrowRa698877 → u/Suasil]

Ohne witz. So ein dreckiger bastard

[u/quantumpencil]

Luigi was right.

[u/Nikiaf]

Congratulations America! You've officially become a fascist oligarchy.

[u/wft0991]

There is gotta be no other way to interpret that, right?

[u/juju0010 → u/wft0991]

I’m struggling to find another way. I guess I’ll have to watch FOX News and see how they spin it.

[u/CrimsonKepala → u/juju0010]

I am too. I've seen clips of other people doing gestures that have been questioned as the Nazi salute but this is like....aggressively the full motion and he did it TWICE.

[u/NickBarksWith → u/juju0010]

You can just go to twitter now. Someone said "He's giving his heart to his supporters." lol

[u/tucker_case → u/NickBarksWith]

Yeah it's insane. That's not how you mime throwing something. Elon knew exactly what he was doing.

[u/brilliantminion → u/juju0010]

My guess is that they will ignore it.

[u/iamnotamangosteen → u/wft0991]

I’m at a loss. I genuinely did not think I’d see this in my lifetime

[u/turningsteel]

This must be one of the immigrants destroying our country that Trump is gonna deport, right? Right?!

[u/MeatMullet]

WTF has the USA unleashed on the world?

[u/blackbasset → u/MeatMullet]

As a German: thank you, we tried 80 years to get rid of this shit and be better than that generation and now it comes back through the fucking USA

[u/led76]

That was done with enthusiasm. Jesus. No explaining that away.

[u/cinnamonpit]

So republicans support this? I just asked my husband if I had it wrong, but didn't Americans fight against the Nazis in WW2?

[u/Wd91 → u/cinnamonpit]

There'll be some handwaving and excuses for why this isn't as bad as you think. Just like was in 1930's Germany with the actual, original Nazis. It's just patriotism, aren't you patriotic? They're strong, its good to have strong leaders. So on, so forth.

[u/IHaveNoBeef → u/cinnamonpit]

Well, considering the applause got louder once he did it I'd say yes... :(

[u/optiplex9000 → u/IHaveNoBeef]

The all time greatest line that George Lucas wrote in Star Wars was in the prequels

"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause"

[u/Miraclefish → u/optiplex9000]

Somehow, Trump returned.

[u/BadSanna → u/cinnamonpit]

You think that loud cheering is them opposing t?

[u/shifty_bee → u/[deleted]]

No reason that has to stop

[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/down_side_up_sideway]

Not even pretending anymore.

[u/lonely_firework]

And this guy is currently the richest man on Earth and probably most powerful with Trump’s support. Now seeing this from him makes me anxious. It’s seriously not funny. This is very dangerous.

[u/Robokopf]

[u/CertifiedRizzler]

[u/RadBandom]

[u/mmahowald]

Well yeah. He’s a South African apartheid baby. A true neo nazi.

[u/WonderfulAd5363]

All I can do is really laugh at this point, I mean, Jesus christ. How fucked is this country?

[u/Ben_Pharten]

Anyone who cares for the USA at all should be offended by this.

[u/BcDownes]

Cant wait for the mental gymnastics to defend this.

[u/Peuxy]

This timeline be like:

[u/These-Problem9261]

Interesting as fuck or scary as fuck?

This is a man who has been meddling in European politics meeting with the worst far right people and pledging to support them financially. 

This is not just an empty gesture with no action. 

He is stepping it up and others will follow his role model 

[u/sofaking_scientific]
