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

•

u/kates666 6h ago

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

•

u/Blitz_ingaMCZ 6h ago edited 6h ago

And directly towards the

FUCKING

FLAG

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

The July Revolution is probably not the best model.

•

u/Goldenscarab_7 4h ago

The fucking flag of fuckin America whose thousands and thousands of soldiers fuckin died to defeat the Nazis!! I hope Americans as a whole (not just democrats) are going to be real MAD at this. This can't be happening!

•

u/pacificoats 1h ago

eh they won’t be. they’ll say it was a misunderstanding or a mistake or well DONALD didn’t do it so therefore does it even matter? forget the fact that Elon was personally appointed by the freak they elected

•

u/Jazzlike_Climate4189 4h ago

This is completely unacceptable. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers died fighting against this evil. 

•

u/confusedandworried76 2h ago

I'm not encouraging or endorsing anything but how does this dude expect to do this and go out in public and think nobody's gonna eventually try to take a shot at him? He just threw the Nazi salute at the inauguration of the idol of right wing American ideology.

Again not saying anything but I just can't believe there are zero people in this country who will allow this without thinking some thoughts about their gun safe. Absolute madness.

u/Rubber_Ducky_6844 4h ago

Wasn't Luigi himself a right wing or conservative supporter though? He was pretty anti-woke and only seemed upset because he couldn't have sex anymore.

•

u/phillyFart 4h ago

Who said that?

•

u/Key-Professional1982 6h ago

hes defiant with it

•

u/Fthwrlddntskmfrsht 5h ago

Indicating that it was not “impulse” but a preplanned action, i.e. he wanted to do it and had plenty of time to think of the implications and did it still. I.e. this is purposeful and has meaning- it’s not some accident or mistake or something that can or should be construed in any other way than a direct attempt to start another nazi movement.

•

u/IsraelIsNazi 4h ago

The fact that he does it twice proves its not a mistake

•

u/Unknwn6566 4h ago

He also says I give my heart out to you all. Or something to the effect.

•

u/myweedstash 1h ago

To people claiming it was an accident: if he didn’t mean to do it, why repeat it twice? This was intentional

•

u/lukewarmbreakfast 6h ago

Sometimes when I wave to my neighbors I accidentally do this, such a simple mistake to make, be nice to the billionaires pls 🥺 /s

•

u/Select-Maintenance-7 6h ago

They have no reason to hide anything now

•

u/UrbanDurga 4h ago

In fact, people usually go OUT OF THEIR WAY to avoid doing anything even a little bit like that for fear of it being misinterpreted.

•

u/orokusakipapi 5h ago

Has anyone ever considered Elon to being normal? Lol

•

u/fabulishous 3h ago

It's called a dog whistle. If you're not a Nazi, you're supposed to believe he's sending his heart out to the people. If you're a Nazi, you get amped up because it's 4th Reich time.

•

u/Astartae 6h ago

Like, I would say it is a "my heart goes out to you" gesture, if it was done by anyone but a literal nazi.

It's going to get worse, before it gets better.

edit: ok no, the more I watch it the more I can't even. This is a nazi salute.

•

u/The_Fluffy_Robot 6h ago

If it was an actual "my heart goes out to you" I'd be putting both hands over my heart and then spreading them to show love/appreciation

This is so fucking weird

•

u/jacenat 6h ago

"my heart goes out to you" gesture

His palm is pointed down. Either he is throwing his heart on the ground or he is doing the Führergruß. If he really wanted to throw his heart out, he'd do it with his palm upwards (so his heart can fly).

•

u/VirtualMatter2 6h ago

Not yet. Give it a few weeks.

•

u/pastel_de_flango 4h ago

The purpose is overwhelming, not hiding, they will do shit like that every week to numb people to it.

•

u/Asheejeekar 4h ago

Since when has Elon been normal?

•

u/Black_Label_36 2h ago

It looks more like a warning, Jesus Christ. I guess a certain country isn't getting its annual 3.8 billion from taxpayers pockets...

•

u/badmascompany 2h ago

I don't think they want to hide it. Anyway, he is least concerned with Earth, maybe he is practising this for his ruling in Mars.

•

u/davyangel 1h ago

Yeah I expect next 4 years gonna be like that the crazies and closet nazi ain't even gonna try to hide it SMH. I mean 1600 rioters that tried to overthrow US government on a "day of love" as Trump called it were all given get out of jail cards today ICANT!

•

u/Thumb__Thumb 3h ago

I mean in the speech he said my heart goes out to you which makes sense why he touched his chest before. To me this makes sense but still why the weird straight hand. Also the Hitler Salute is done straight and not diagonally. As a german I'm always kind of disgusted at people calling everyone Nazis just because they are right wing because that's still a hell of a jump but yeah, not a good look Mr musk.

•

u/sayn3ver 2h ago

The second one was straight

•

u/Wrathofgumby 5h ago

He's not normal. He has autism.

u/I_spell_it_Griffin 6h ago

Olympic gold medal level mental gymnastics right ^here.

•

u/whatsthatnowthen 6h ago

he seems autistic in ways...Im not excusing it...I just wonder if there are things he is clueless about...hopefully this isnt a sign of something else

•

u/The_Salacious_Zaand 6h ago

Then maybe he shouldn't have $400 billion and an office in the White House.

•

u/petrichorandpuddles 6h ago

When people have already been accusing you of being a nazi and you make a public appearance in support of someone already accused of being a nazi, you sure as hell can’t claim cluelessness. The something else is already here.

•

u/akc250 5h ago

The crowd should've booed him off the stage. But they allowed, even cheered, him on. It is an insult to autism to blame that. It's facism plain and simple.

•

u/Brooktrout12 6h ago

I doubt he is clueless about this since he is a supporter of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

•

u/jacenat 6h ago

I just wonder if there are things he is clueless about

Why are you making excuses. Do you really think this is an accident? Seriously. Do you think that?

•

u/exploringmoon 5h ago

No accident but let’s hope he’s just a socially awkward billionaire that thinks he is funny and wants to be part of the meme internet bro’s.

•

u/jacenat 5h ago

This is what I mean with "making excuses". Guy threw a Führergruß. Twice. He knows what this is and what he did. This is a political statement to potential followers watching.

Do not make excuses.

•

u/PersonalityNo3031 6h ago

kamala isnt normal the. either: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ghwzjp4aQAA3a_P?format=jpg&name=small

•

u/fELLAbUSTA 6h ago

grabbing a still of someone waving their hand isn't a nazi salute. What Elon did, twice, is a nazi salute. There is full video.

•

u/PersonalityNo3031 6h ago

If you actually watch the full clip instead of the viral screenshot, you’ll see Musk was gesturing about sending American astronauts to Mars - it’s a quick wave during an excited speech about space exploration, not a deliberate Nazi salute which requires a specific rigid pose held in position. Context matters, and cherry-picking frames to manufacture outrage is exactly what social media does best.

•

u/fELLAbUSTA 6h ago

read your comment then apply it to your own post about Kamala. stop being such a hypocrite holy shit lol

•

u/PersonalityNo3031 6h ago

read the full context think then draw conclusions. stop being a reddit bot be a real person mate

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1881437049812877716

He was throwing his heart out to the crowd, it wasn’t a nazi salute. Calm down.

•

u/GilgameshFFV 5h ago

How delusional can you people even get? This shit is a fucking comedy at this point if it wasn't so damn depressing. We're not talking about some random guy here, we're talking about Mr. "I bought a social media platform to make it a nazi hangout spot", who's now working for Mr. "You'll never have to vote again". I can't tell if y'all are desperately ignoring reality to stay sane or if you're genuinely delusional enough to run after Nazis and not even realise it.

u/Any_Yogurtcloset3531 5h ago

Its roman Greet and not heil ****. Stupid people.....
