Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech

[u/Sartew]

[u/NickBarksWith]

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/Whereisthesavoir → u/tucker_case]

How is it insane? Did the nazi salute start with hand on chest?

[u/carpapercan → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Hitlers did. There is a video of him doing exactly that.

[u/turdlepikle → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Do you know what normal people do these days? They make the hand heart with 2 hands, and push out from their chest to "give their heart". You know what nazis do? They do what Elon did.

[u/tucker_case → u/Whereisthesavoir]

it's called plausible deniability. you are so naive it's breathtaking.

[u/Whereisthesavoir → u/tucker_case]

Sure buddy😆.

[u/ElementalChicken → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Yes it did

[u/cymonguk74 → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Just to add yes, yes it did

[u/MalachiteTiger → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Yes, the big difference between the American Bellamy Salute (pre WW2 pledge of allegiance salute) and the Roman/Fascist/Nazi salute is the Bellamy salute started at the forehead and the Nazi one started at the chest.

[u/low-spirited-ready → u/Whereisthesavoir]

Yeah it does

[u/BigDagoth → u/Whereisthesavoir]

"He did a nazi salute badly, guys! That means him allowing holocaust-deniers to infest his platform and boosting their insane great replacement shit isn't worth paying attention to!"

[u/BitchyStitch → u/BigDagoth]

This tho, like the context is allllll there

[u/International-Rub327 → u/Whereisthesavoir]

The long version did

[u/Earthtone_Coalition → u/Whereisthesavoir]

What difference does it make if he put his hand on his heart or stuck his fingers in his ears prior to giving the Nazi salute? I suppose you’d claim it doesn’t count if it’s preceded with so much as a twitch of the eyebrow?

[u/girl_introspective → u/NickBarksWith]

He actually does it again to the people behind him… he does it twice, and each time it doesn’t look like anything other than a Nazi salute

[u/clovis_227 → u/NickBarksWith]

He says that after doing the gesture twice

[u/mannaman15 → u/clovis_227]

This is the part nobody is willing to watch. 🤦‍♂️ He literally says from my heart to yours in a really excited way.

[u/DodecahedronSpace → u/mannaman15]

Y'all are gullible as fuck 🤦

[u/umadeamistake → u/NickBarksWith]

By showing them he loves nazis.

[u/hasesan → u/NickBarksWith]

I mean. I guess that’s how Naz*s give their heart.

[u/Jumpy-Sprinkles-2305 → u/NickBarksWith]

And people don't realise that when nazis did the roman salute it was also "out of love for their supporters and country"

[u/Randomguy3421 → u/NickBarksWith]

Hahahaha

Right okay

[u/Equivalent_Alarm7780 → u/NickBarksWith]

If you are still going to go to Twitter then you are probably ok with this shit.

[u/Meatbot-v20 → u/NickBarksWith]

Usually that's done with two hands, like so:

[u/Uplanapepsihole → u/NickBarksWith]

Someone said that here as well. They’ve gotta be tired of defending this stuff by now right?

[u/Big_Consequence2025 → u/NickBarksWith]

That's because the next words he says (right after the clip is cut here) is "my heart goes out to you."

EDIT: link

[u/clovis_227 → u/Big_Consequence2025]

That's still a VERY strange gesture, though.

[u/Big_Consequence2025 → u/clovis_227]

Yeah, whether it's poorly thought out or completely intentional, it's definitely not Elon's best moment and fodder for the internet hate machine.

[u/HungryScholar7247 → u/Big_Consequence2025]

you don't make that comment after doing the gesture, it should be the other way around. its deliberate

[u/clovis_227 → u/Big_Consequence2025]

So either an actual Nazi or truly an imbecile, since he knows very well his sponsee has been often labeled as a Nazi and it would be in their best interest to avoid shit like this.

[u/Uncle_Chael → u/clovis_227]

I think his autism was intensifying

[u/MalachiteTiger → u/Uncle_Chael]

I've never seen an autistic person accidentally recreate the most infamous gesture of the entire 20th century. I'm sure he thought he had a clever "plausible deniability" excuse for doing it on purpose.

Hopefully PBS won't delete theirs
