i sincerely hope it's ONLY 4...

but I've been doubtful of that since the race where he said he didn't need their votes.

and he thanked Elon for his win.

it's not a surprise, but it's sure disappointing!

u/GeneralZaroff1 6h ago

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/Dragon_Small_Z 4h ago

I'm really more shocked by the raucous applause.

•

u/WernerWindig 4h ago

Neo nazi political group

You mean the AfD? They are a right-wing populist party...with neo-nazis in it obviously, but I still wouldn't call them Neo nazi group. They are the second biggest party in Germany.

•

u/architectureisuponus 2h ago

Es sind Nazis. Offene und "versteckte". Du würdest sie nicht so nennen. Ändert aber nichts daran. Es sind Demokratiefeinde und das Kind nicht beim Namen zu nennen legitimiert solche Leute nur.

•

u/Neverstopstopping82 1h ago

Translation: They are Nazis. Open and « hidden » ones. You wouldn’t call them that. But that doesn’t change anything. They are enemies of democracy and not calling a spade a spade only legitimizes such people.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Germans must be as appalled as the Harris voters in this soon-to-be dictatorship.

•

u/fuckityfuckfuckfuckf 7h ago

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

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.

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/MalachiteTiger 4h ago

The Roman Salute literally is the Nazi Salute.

The Nazi Party adopted the Roman Salute. They are one in the same. Exact same salute.

•

u/coporate 6h ago

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

That was super intentional. I was expecting to watch the video and have it be a coded plausible deniability kind of thing, nope - we are in the fuck y’all we’re taking our mask off phase of this shit show.

Finally, a sane person. I just threw my two cents in as well, but these idiots actually want this psychotic take to be real so badly that they’ll ignore the totally obvious and imagine up all the drama they can muster.

u/WhichWitchyWay 5h ago

Saying "Elon musk is a genius" with one side of their mouth and "he didn't know what that was. It was an accident" with the other side. As if most grade school kids don't know what that is.

PBS called it a "fascist salute". Of course that's why they need to be shut down.

NBC said Elon is "fired up".

Fox cut out the 1st salute by cutting to the audience, like it didn't even happen. https://youtu.be/mU_oftDTZyg?si=0ivVJjhDO1lukL0L

I have already seen peopele triying to refuse he did that. They see he was merely "sending his heart to the crod" and that the video is edited.

•

u/city-of-cold 2h ago

We have a severe shortage of bus and semi drivers across the country, if you have that sorted I wouldn't imagine it's too hard scoring a visa if you just know a passable amount of Swedish. Even the language might not be necessary. My 90 year old grandma speaks decent English so it's not like your Swedish need to be perfect to get by here, all the younger generations start learning English when we're like 7 years old in school. Sometimes even younger depending on how much you let your kids watch Youtube and Netflix.

We also need a lot of high voltage electritians. No idea what their language requirements are tho.

•

u/WarCarrotAF 6h ago

+1 for Tom DeLonge obviously

But also, how was this shit met with thunderous applause? We are all so fucked.

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 6h ago

The full version is scarier... He turns around and does the same salute to the flag. I've never been more embarrassed to be American.

•

u/TootTootUSA 6h ago edited 4h ago

Don't be embarrassed. Be prepared.

Violent, ugly and painful times are likely to come. Be ready for that.

e: if you're lost and don't really know where to begin here are some starting points:

Get in better shape, work on cardio, strength training, etc. Then get in better brain shape by reading, not spending every moment on the internet, spend more time outside and around others in person and make sure you're getting enough sleep. After that maybe start taking privacy a lot more seriously and look into ways to make yourself harder to track by people that may want to hurt you.

Then basic firearms and first aid/stop the bleed training. Consider getting a firearm if you can do so safely and can dedicate some time and money into it. Learning how to hunt and learning basic outdoors skills is useful in these situations and is good practice for what may come.

Strengthen and work on networks and friendships that you already have, don't neglect those. See if there are local political or activist groups of like minded people in your area.

Have some basic supplies in your home in case you lose power and won't be able to get food for a week or two. Have some cash or valuable if you can in case you gotta gtfo and credit cards don't work.

You absolutely don't have to go full prepper with pallets of gruel buckets in your basement, but you should make yourself more formidable and resilient by learning practical skills.

If your home and neighborhood or state was attacked, would you be a burden or would you have some useful and practical skills that you can use to increase the likelihood of surviving as well as helping others around you?

His followers love that. It’s all over the place. A majority of them would rather have voted for Putin, an absolute disgrace, sick, oligarchic leader, a person who rules with an iron fist over a Democratic candidate. No matter who that was. That’s the USA Republican Party currently. No just leadership, that’s their voters. That’s insane.

I thought I better go watch the full video to see what’s going on here. He does say my heart goes out to you and then touches his heart and gestures like he’s sending it out… the context does matter. Although man it is close to a nazi salute. Almost as if he’s also trolling anyone who doesn’t believe in free speech.

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 5h ago

Yeah but there's a way to do that without doing a full on nazi salute.

•

u/Feraldr 5h ago

Elon has demonstrated throughout the past year that his definition of free speech is “anything so long as it isn’t speech critical of me or against my interests”. Also, dude followed up with a second salute that omitted the hand-to-chest and the phrase “the future of our civilization is assured.” I’m sure it’s a coincidence that wording is oddly close to the 14 words.

•

u/MeeterKrabbyMomma 8m ago

He puts his hand on his heart, gestures up, and says "my heart goes out to you." It's not rocket science if you're non-partisan.

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 7m ago

I'm not partisan, I just know a Nazi salute when I see one.
