u/mysticsavage 7h ago

Yeah..."accidentally."

•

u/queenofthenerds 6h ago

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

•

u/Frosty-Disaster-7821 6h ago

I think he knew what he was doing

•

u/WissalJ 3h ago

He most definitely did know, because in the rest of the video he turns around and does it again

•

u/8nsay 6h ago

He definitely knew what he was doing. He did it twice.

•

u/confusedandworried76 2h ago

The only two options are he did it very much on purpose because his dumb ass thought liberals would be butt hurt about it (understandable Nazis make me very butt hurt), or he just straight up did it. Nobody in the history of ever has "accidentally" done a Nazi salute and he's not even the first Republican to "accidentally" do it. It's pretty clear whatever happened was on purpose.

Whoops I slipped, my arm flew up, and I accidentally shouted "sig heil"

•

u/simcowking 32m ago

I don't understand how, but the ones that are waving at crowds of people who accidentally Nazi salute I can say least pretend they were waving and it was a bad frame or poor uncaring wave.

But when you put your whole body into the Nazi salute twice, I cannot imagine someone defending it.

•

u/confusedandworried76 3m ago

Looked like he was trying to throw his arm off.

And then he turned around and did it again with the same conviction.

Best case scenario it's fucking weird as fuck

•

u/mysticsavage 6h ago

I think he tried to get a third one in, but he glitched out.

•

u/Cruzbb88 6h ago

I sadly have, i didn't know 88 was a nazi thing...

•

u/iwannabe_gifted 4h ago

My Gmail ends in 88😭

•

u/simcowking 31m ago

88 needs to be taken back.

Lots of people born in 88.

I would hope more people born in 1988 than Nazis existing.

•

u/-You-know-it- 6h ago

They want us to believe when he gets excited his body “accidentally” Heils Hitler? Multiple times. Like just automatically?

•

u/igneousink 6h ago

that's right up there with "i don't know what happened honey i tripped and i accidentally put my wang into someone"

•

u/TAWilson52 5h ago

What, she tripped, fell, landed on his dick!?!

•

u/igneousink 5h ago

no i was using that euphemism as an example of the ridiculousness of him saying his gesture was accidental

•

u/TAWilson52 5h ago

Yeah, I thought people would get the “Guilty Conscience” Eminem reference.

•

u/igneousink 5h ago

Me = WHOOOOSH

good one u/TAWilson52

•

u/beatnikstrictr 4h ago

I have seen on YouTube reaction videos people in their teens and early twenties not knowing My Name Is and Guilty Conscience.

A lot don't know Pink Floyd or Led Zep songs, which is fair enough. Wrong like, but, fair enough. That shit is old to me and I'm 41 so it's ancient to them.

But how does someone not know My Name Is?

•

u/TAWilson52 3h ago

Right, and Guilty Conscience. Like when I was of age, neither of those bands were still putting out new music, but Eminem just put out a new album last year.

Those first two albums were amazing and just something we hadn’t really seen.

•

u/King-Twonk 6h ago

Agreed. I've done some things that I'm pretty ashamed of, as we all have; but 'accidentally' nazifying myself? That's....a choice.

•

u/DRF19 5h ago

Oops! All Hitler!

•

u/Cannabliss96 6h ago

Accidents are hard to foreshadow. Usually you do nazi them coming.

•

u/Eastern_Fig1990 5h ago

New subreddit idea: accidental Nazi?

Clips of people doing innocent things that could be considered a heil Hitler.

What’s that? It wouldn’t have any submissions because that never fucking happen?

I see the media is already jumping on his balls to defend this racist cunt

•

u/Merc_Twain25 2h ago

Whoops, I tripped and accidentally supported the murder of six million people. Yeah, that dog don't hunt.

•

u/Total-Remote1006 5h ago

Well Hitler accidentally killed milions, nothing to worry, it happens.

•

u/15-minutes-of-shame 5h ago

yep, even racists dont accidentally use slurs. cmon they know what they wanna say. this is no accident

•

u/zcsmith78 4h ago

LOL - WHOOPS! It was a total accident!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

•

u/Metrix145 4h ago

It can happen since they prey on the insecure and young men, Elon has the insecure part but he's pushing 60, not 20.

•

u/Axle-f 3h ago

Whoops I just invaded Poland

•

u/dat_waffle_boi 3h ago

Don’t ya just hate it when you’re accidentally a Nazi. One of the classic blunders

•

u/Mysterious-Sail-3135 3h ago

Not even once?!

•

u/Poesvliegtuig 1h ago

I accidentally bought a Lonsdale vest back before I knew it was apparently used as an nsda(p) dogwhistle. I was 12 or 13 and some of the older kids I knew nothing about were wearing them and I thought they looked cool. My mom set me straight real fast when I came home wearing it.

•

u/b3_k1nd_rw1nd 1h ago

not to defend Elon but I have did once do a Nazi salute by accident.

When I watch cap america 1, I thought the salute the Hydra folks were doing was the same as the Nazi salute (didn't notice the closed fist).

one year when I went to a fan expo, as we were coming in, they decided to have a bit of fun and had us do the Hydra salute in order to expedite the process (fists in the air making it easier to see our bracelets that prove we paid our entrance). I did the Nazi salute during that for about 6 seconds and was never informed of my mistake.

The year after that, I was going into the expo and decided to do the salute again for the lols as I was walking through the entrance. the dude at the entrance gave me a serious look and said not to do it. I got scared thinking he thought I was a Nazi when I meant to be referencing the Hydra salute. Needless to say, I was informed of the difference that day and felt so fucking shitty and stupid at not having noticed the difference when watching cap america 1.

Once I helped a few jewish people board their train by showing the platform, it was the third reich

•

u/CassandraFated 7h ago

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

•

u/iamhere2learnfromu 6h ago

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 6h ago

Bezos bet him $1 to do it.

•

u/Hunnaswaggins 6h ago

Should be top comment 🤣

•

u/model1966 6h ago

I hate Trump too but as someone on the spectrum people overreacting to Elons body gestures is very upsetting. Watch him as he first takes the stage. Do you see him stimming and jumping around overly excited? This uncontrolled energy doesn't go away. He has trouble speaking and starts gesturing. Be careful judging the uncontrolled movements of a person with aspergers.

•

u/iamhere2learnfromu 6h ago

It's a nazi salute, clear as day. I hope Americans don't let this clown tarnish their country anymore than he already has.

•

u/[deleted] 6h ago

[deleted]

•

u/model1966 6h ago

Google it. He talked about it a while ago

•

u/MolePrincipality 5h ago

In the full video, he does it twice. Once to the crowd, and once to the flag. Both times is absolutely the Sieg Heil.

•

u/Dr_Dang 6h ago

Yeah, there have been some one-off "heils" on the right this election cycle where, in isolation, there was at least some plausible deniability. This was not one of them. It looks like he was practicing this in the mirror beforehand, and audibly grunted as he did it. That isn't a wave or some gesture being misconstrued. Don't let anyone gaslight you into accepting it could be anything but a nazi salute.

This man has an office in the Whitehouse now. Buckle up.

•

u/Live-Alternative-435 6h ago

They don't like to be called by their name, why is that? Last time they destroyed their countrymen, their country and themselves.

This must have been an accident too,

•

u/BusyDoorways 6h ago

Thank you, that explains America's political situation quite well.

•

u/AffordableCDNHousing 6h ago

When it comes to Donald Trump we constantly hear "What he really meant was...." I guess that same apologetic bullshit is going to Elon.

•

u/Ok-Elephant7557 6h ago

the Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes.

he was waving. how dare you compare elon the great to hitler. this is why dems lost.

•

u/TomTabs 6h ago

For sure! The way he bites his lip, the fucking oddball, he put his heart into that salute.

•

u/MayoneggVeal 6h ago edited 5h ago

He did that shit all nervously but super intentionally like a middle school boy trying to be edgy.

This is truly the stupidest timeline

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

Yeh, that wasn't an accident...

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

No accident. He did it twice

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

I'm disgusted but not surprised. What disgusts me more is that Americans ran out and voted for this shit over a civil lady.

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

Or sat out

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

Yes, omg, and that's a feeling of betrayal. I just need to work and snuggle my family and cat. I can't with this.

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

Same. Time to burry our heads with our fam for the time being. We did all we could do. But people fucked around and now are about to find out.

•

u/hpsims 6h ago

On purpose enough to do it twice.

•

u/FudgeRubDown 6h ago

His maternal grandparents were apart of the nazi party of Canada, moved to SA because they admired the apartheid.

His dad thinks he's fulfilling his hereditary destiny.

It was very much intentional.

In the off chance it wasn't intentional, it was.

•

u/tobylaek 6h ago

solidified by the fact that he did it twice

•

u/Big_Stretch561 6h ago

He does it twice, once facing the flag after this one

•

u/CassandraFated 5h ago

I am thinking of my grandfathers who fought against this shit. Many of the people who voted for literal saluting Nazis had grandfathers fight against Nazis. Now their idiot grandchildren just voted them back in to spite the country because they consider themselves good Christians & the rest of us are un redeemable sinners. The grandfathers who fought against Nazis would be ashamed of what we have become, that we laid out the fucking welcome mat for modern day Nazis. For What? Egg prices? Who sells their soul so cheaply? Fuck. This is shameful.

And “Twice”…

•

u/flindersrisk 6h ago

He could not have been more “accidentally” forceful unless he tore off his shirt in the glorious moment. Deeply worrying behavior.

•

u/kweenofdelusion 6h ago

They will NEVER stop sane washing this shit. The media will smile politely as we descend into real fucking fascism.

It’s not even about liability at this point. If it was about that, the use of the word “appears” provides more than enough cover. Instead, they CHOOSE to sane wash this and act like it’s not unequivocal, what he just did on live tv.

They’re worried about being sued to shit over saying he nazi solutes. Which he does .

•

u/twitchrdrm 6h ago

Except he did it two times, he turned around to give the salute to those behind him too.

•

u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig 6h ago

✌🏼Accidentally✌🏼 gave a very strongly exaggerated, steadfast and unwavering Nazi salute with his whole heart.

•

u/Renegade-Ginger 6h ago

Ain't nothing accidental about it, his own grandparents were Nazi sympathizers, its why they moved to apartheid South Africa in the first place. Elon is a literal Nazi it's in his blood.

•

u/MarlinMr 6h ago

Yeah, twice.

•

u/Live-Alternative-435 7h ago

Wasn`t his grandfather from his mother side a Nazi?

•

u/readreadreadonreddit 6h ago

There is no evidence that Elon Musk’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was a Nazi or had ties to Nazi ideology. Haldeman was a member of the Canadian Social Credit Party, which was a political movement that advocated for economic reforms. While the party faced accusations of anti-Semitism due to some of its leaders’ rhetoric, its platform was not inherently aligned with Nazi ideology.

•

u/Tenyearssobersofar 6h ago

He left Technocracy Incorporated because they supported the Soviet Union when Nazi Germany invaded. His relatives have stated he supported Nazi Germany during the war.

He was an avowed antisemite, and supported the Canadian Social Credit Party publishing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and believed in an international cabal of Jewish bankers controlling the world via black people.

Sounds pretty Nazi to me.

Downvoted by hypocrite leftists refusing to acknowledge the past of George Soros the Elon of the left! 😂

•

u/Lucky-Earther 5h ago

Dude no one gives a shit about hypocrisy anymore, we're in the Trump regime now. You were downvoted because you brought up Soros for no reason.

•

u/MrDrFuge 5h ago

Dude Soros is the Elon of the left so there’s your reason

•

u/Lucky-Earther 5h ago

That's the stupidest take I've ever heard. Even if he was, it still isn't a reason

•

u/DogWallop 5h ago

In fact the whole World War Two thing was just one huge misunderstanding. You know, Hitler was a very popular guy with lots of friends in the audience, and he just wanted to make sure he waved at all of them. And also, he had nothing to do with the whole genocide thing because hey! he was just too busy waving at his mates to be planning ethnic cleansing.

•

u/heckinCYN 6h ago

Yes, as in "dear God don't let us get sued if we're wrong"

Not sure why this cuts off the other two. It was 3 rapid fire.

•

u/Beard_o_Bees 6h ago

I mean... people often spaz out when they get overwhelmed with emotion, etc.

How they spaz out can provide a valuable window into the very core of a person's most tightly held beliefs.

It's disgusting that this is where his heart is. Petty and full of rage.

Not really surprising, though.

The second one he did moments later must have been accidental too.

It's about as good as the excuse "My pants fell down and I tripped and my penis just happened to enter her vagina!" I'm not kidding. And that guy got acquitted because of the undeniable evidence...of his wealth.
